B H Dear members of the senior class: May all the bridges you are yet to cross be the narrow but ever sturdy bridges of Torah. At each turning point in your life — whether educa- tional, personal, or occupational — you will find bridges guaranteed to keep you on the paths of Torah. Of course, I hope you have learned much at Yavneh and have also had a good time. Most of all, I hope this is just a point of transition in your Jewish education and not, G-d forbid, an end. The bridge which lies immediately in front of you should carry you on to further and more intensive Jewish studies. Even the most outstanding students among you have barely passed Aleph Bet in terms of the vast sea of Torah studies. May Hashem bless you with the wisdom to make good use of the remaining years of your youth. May he grant that your parents and all our community see from you true Yiddishe names. Sincerely, ALAN GOLDSTIEN, President Dear Graduates: On behalf of the Board of Directors, 1 would like to congratulate you upon reaching your hard sought goal of graduation. You have diligently and successfully completed courses of Jewish and secular study with conscientious devotion and well earned distinction. It is my hope that, as a result of the knowledge you have acquired at the Yavneh Hebrew Academy you may be inspired to be good Americans and to uphold with courage, pride, and dignity the ideals and Torah of our Forefathers. May G-d bless you in the graduating class of 1979, as well as your par- ents and teachers, with a peace of mind and a harmony of the soul, so that you may contribute to a better and more harmonious Jewish world. JOESEPH K. KORNWASSER Chairman of the Board f The first adult an infant knows are parents. As the child grows and its world expands to include school, the next most important adults are teachers. You, the graduating class, have passed through stages, begin- ning with the child and now presented to us as young adults. We hope that you have many fond memories of special people — parents and teachers, who have tried to guide you down the path of learning and Torah. We wish you continued success in your endeavors and may you remember your years at Yavneh, as being full of joy and hope for the future. ERICA KLIEN and ROSIE SILVERSTEIN PTA Presidents

v IN MEMORY OF OUR BELOVED DEAN RABBI ZILBERSTIEN Throughout his Hfetime Rabbi Osher Zilberstien distinguished himself by his steadfast dedication and self sacrifice for every national, Torah, and charitable endeavor in our community. In the field of education, he founded the Los Angeles Jewish Academy, which later became our beloved Yavneh Academy. We, at Yavneh, have the honor of having had Rabbi Zilberstien as our dean for the past thirteen years. Rabbi Zilberstien also founded the Pacific Hebrew Seminary. In these undertakings, though he met with violent opposition from the conmiunity, he remained devoted and he succeeded. Rabbi Zilberstien ' s contribution to Torah did not end here. He was also in great measure responsible for the founding of what is now Rambam Torah Institute. It was also Rabbi Zilberstien ' s ceaseless pleading and urging that first brought Yeshiva Univer- sity to the West Coast. The deep roots struck for Yeshiva education through Rabbi Zilberstien ' s strenuous efforts lightened the task of others who followed his noble example and contributed so valiandy to Yesh- iva education in Los Angeles. Dear Graduates, I have pondered upon the proper expression in which I could evaluate these feelings as I reflect upon the progress of an Academy of learning in which I had a share in building. My only hope is that it will carry conviction to the generations to come — a love for the spirit of the Torah and its teachings. We are the heirs to Abraham, Moses, and the prophets and sages; a goodly doctrine has been give to us. We are the protagonists of a scarced tradition which has made a mighty contribution to the moral life of mankind. We have the capacity and the instrumental- ity to be an effective healing force in a sick world. We are witnesses to the eternal. Rabbi William J. Spigelman, Dean
