JACK M. BARRACK HEBREW ACADEMY Partnering with
18TH ANNUAL GALA IS CANCELLED

With much sadness and deep regret, we inform you that our gala is cancelled. We have
made this very difficult decision in an abundance of caution regarding the COVID-19 virus
and with so much uncertainty about its longevity and severity.
The health and safety of our community and our students is paramount. We explored many
preventative options but, in the end, we felt that cancelling the event was the most prudent
thing to do. Our gala co-chairs, committee and our staff have put in months and months of
grueling work in creating an impactful and memorable event - an event worthy of our
esteemed honorees and our school; and it is so unfortunate that we cannot come together
as a community to experience it. We have already been in touch with our honorees, and, as
we would expect, they are in total agreement with our assessment and ultimate decision.
We thank you for your overwhelming and continued support and understanding.
Thank you.
