Alumni from a range of classes returned to Heschel for the annual Summer Soiree to share memories, catch up on recent milestones, and enjoy a beautiful evening on the roof.

Heschel's class of 2009 gathered for their 10 year reunion. Old friends came together to revisit old memories, flip through their yearbooks, play a game of Heschel Kahoot, and shoot some hoops in the gym. Class of 2010, you're up next!

Alumni gathered for an evening of learning in the home of Dina Ufberg and Sam Goodman (HS '06). The night was led by Rabbi Amy Kalmanofsky, Dean of Albert A. List College of Jewish Studies at JTS, Associate Professor of Bible, and Heschel parent. Kalmanofsky discussed this week's parasha and provided different ways of understanding Joseph's relationship with Jacob, as well as his brothers, and gave room for multiple readings to all those attending.

The High School's morning Mabat program welcomed Eve Goldberg, founder of BIGVISION and Heschel alumni parent. BIGVISION helps young adults struggling with addiction succeed in recovery and strives to eliminate the stigma surrounding living sober. The Hesed Council recently announced that BIGVISION would be this semester's cause. Hearing Eve's story about her son Isaac (z"l) and her path to creating BIGVISION reinforced the importance of an open dialogue about substance abuse and recovery. Thank you to BIGVISION NYC for the work that you do and sharing with us today.

Leora Einleger (HS '14) and some of her peers from Barnard College visited with Heschel Seniors today to discuss ways Title IX could impact them once they are living on a college campus. Leora and her classmates felt that students should know their rights before they enter college, so they began speaking to high school students around New York City, using their "Navigating the IX" materials. They presented various facts and information, discussed ways pop culture has an effect on our perception of Title IX issues, and broke into groups to answer more questions.

Heschel's class of 2008 gathered for their 10 year reunion. Old friends came together to revisit old memories, flip through their yearbooks, play a game of Heschel Kahoot, and stop by their old nook. Class of '09, you're up next!

Heschel Alumni gathered in Brooklyn at the McCarren Hotel to brainstorm new ideas about future alumni programming and events. It was a lovely evening filled with great conversation and energy. Thank you to all those who made an effort to attend!
