WHAT YAVNEH MEANS TO ME Yavneh to me is . . .a place where true loyalty to God and to our religion is taught as the key to our life. Barbara Bastomski Yavneh has played an extremely important part in my life because I have spent the majority of my life in this school. It has set the basis for my goals of future education, and religion. As a graduate of Yavneh, I feel that I am prepared for my future challenges. Miri Shapiro To me, Yavneh was a way to get to know myself. It has taught me about my religion and secular studies. It opened up doors of the world I might never have known. Even though I am leaving, Yavneh has left many good impressions on me which I will use for the rest of my life. Tammy Fiber After attending Yavneh for ten years, I have mixed feelings about leaving. I am happy to gradu- ate and entering a new horizon — a new Bridge in life. I will have alot more responsibilities but I feel I can handle them. I am experiencing sadness because I am leaving the place where I have spent so many years a place that is very dear to me. Yes, we are leaving physically, but emotionally we will always be members of this school. Faye Thompson Yavneh has been a second home. Yavneh has guided me in growing up. It has implanted in me the knowledge of the Torah and Jewish American hving. Mark Kroh I have gone to Yavneh and learned to respect and study the Jewish culture. I will have good memories about Yavneh and all my friends. I ' m proud to have gone to Yavneh and I really enjoyed the past six years. I ' ll teach my children all about what I have learned and the good experiences I have gained in this great school Yavneh. Arye Blank Yavneh is one of a few places in Los Angeles that has a Jewish environment. The Rabbis help us learn Torah. All the Rabbis are very dedicated and treat us as their own children. Rabbis are people you can really trust and come for in time of need. All the teachers in the school try to help us make something of our future. And so with the help of Yavneh I hope to become a doctor when I grow up. Igor Glozman In a world of anti-semitism and violence Yav- neh is a breath of fresh air. It is a place to learn to laugh and sing. Most of us have been here quite a while and have learned to respect the Torah. Through sometimes we may misbehave, deep inside we want to learn. Sometimes we may disa- gree with our teachers, but deep down inside we think to ourselves they are only people and they want the best for us all. In some years the school has changed, but so have we. This school is the guiding light for the future. We have matured in our Torah education. It is important for us to carry on the traditions of our forefathers. Hershel Herskowitz 38
