Guests gathered to celebrate the school and to pay homage to this year’s honorees: Joel Kirschner—Guest of Honor, The Carmel/Zakheim Family—Legacy Award, and Judy Friedman—Faculty Recognition Award. Michael Wimpfheimer and Bonnie Silfen, Yavneh parents, co-chaired the event.

The funds raised through the dinner are critical in supporting Yavneh’s annual campaign, which enables the school to innovate, support families in need and utilize the very best educational tools and programs. The generosity of the school’s donors allows Yavneh to achieve its dual mandate of “affordable excellence.”
