Your commitment and devotion to so many causes in our community, as well as your warmth and friendliness, have endeared you to us all. The time, energy and support you give to the Hebrew Academy is exemplary. Your friendship is valued by many of us in Young Israel. Tamara, we are grateful for your role as chairperson of programming for the shul. Our members have benefitted greatly from the many wonderful events you organize throughout the year. Shaya, you are responsible for the formation of another very successful Shabbos morning minyan at Young Israel, and for the introduction of an Oraysa Chabura at Young Israel which is a greatly valued addition to the learning that takes place in our shul. We are proud to consider you “one of ours” and hope to keep that connection for many years to come.

April 1, 2024 Hebrew Academy of Cleveland 1800 Warrensville Center Road Cleveland, OH 44121 Dear Friends: Please allow me to extend my congratulations to the administration, staff, students, parents, and community members as you celebrate the 81st annual Scholarship Tribute Dinner of the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland. For generations, the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland has been a national leader in Jewish education. You prepare students to contribute to our community, to honor their heritage, and to continue the long Jewish tradition of social justice. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel wrote, “A Jew is asked to take a leap of action rather than a leap of thought.” The Ohioans you honor tonight embody that spirit. You all inspire students to take that leap of action. I wish you all the best at tonight’s event, and in the years ahead. Sincerely, Sherrod Brown United States Senator

EIGHTY-FIRST ANNUAL S C H O L A R S H I P T R I B U T E D I N N E R CL H GHER MBINGNURTURING CONNECTIONS. INSPIRING LEADERS. To Our Dearest Children Yitz and Rochelle: We could not be more grateful for your receiving the Mendy Klein Community Service Award. While it is certainly much deserved, we know that you have spent a lifetime “in the shadows” trying to avoid recognition. We know that Mendy would also be proud that you are being honored in his merit. When we were together in public, Mendy sought us out as your parents to acknowledge what a difference you were making in Cleveland. He joined others who told us when you were featured in media. With your characteristic humility, they were certain we would not hear it from you. Yitz, when the Master of the Universe led you out of Kollel to work with the Agudah, we remember fondly that Mendy took you under his wing to be a mentor and role model. He was truly one of a kind. While your work together was cut short, his energy and the vision that he brought to solving the problems of Klal Yisrael clearly made an indelible impression on your family. We know that your devotion to community service in large part reflects the special relationship that you forged with Mendy. Rochelle, you have unique intellect and compassion. You have woven them together as a tapestry into every aspect of your life. You have excelled as a mother, wife, student, confidant, friend, healthcare professional and community leader. You have been a gracious daughter-in-law, and we feel fully integrated and welcome in your home. As your parents, it is deeply meaningful that others recognize and appreciate your extraordinary gifts. Thank you for investing so much of your time in the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland where our grandchildren are learning to live up to their own potentials in an environment of Avodas Hashem and Ahavas Yisrael. In the merit of the examples set by the two of you, may your children reward you with lifelong nachas as you have provided to us. With Love, Mom and Dad

Despite being a fully dedicated Rebbi, you found time to become a skilled mohel. Despite being a completely devoted Father, you found time to be an elite Sofer sta"m. Despite authoring meticulous books of Torah, you found time to innovate cutting edge presentations, just one of which is the universally acclaimed Torah show series. With a touch of magic and a sprinkle of sugar, you have baked the love of Hashem and Torah into every child you come across. All of this for over thirty years, all of this with the same relentless passion and enthusiasm - and all of this, in order to bring joy and learning to a generation of youth. It is a great, big honor that you are part of our family. Your work, your students and your legacy is an inspiration to all. May Hashem give you and your righteous wife Malka - who has enabled all of your accomplishments - the strength and ability to continue for many, many years to come. אמן From your Loving Family Mrs. Rachel Salem Rabbi David and Ruth Sultan Shmuel and Orly Salem Sion and Mimi Salem Daniel and Sarah Salem Avraham and Adena Salem Zeev and Adina Douek Eliyahu and Meira Niyazov
