Honoring - Maimonides School
Scholarship Adbook
2008–2009/5769
This book is dedicated to
GRETA & JOSEPH ABELOW
with admiration, affection and respect
THE 2009/5769 MAIMONIDES SCHOOL VIRTUAL ADBOOK
Maimonides School has published an annual collection of paid messages from its friends and supporters
in the community for more than 60 years. Through the
decades, the publication has been known by various
appellations—the yearbook, the journal and, most
recently, the adbook. The word “scholarship” is attached
to the title, because contributions make it possible
for the school to offer financial aid to every qualified
applicant.
Looking at the adbooks collectively, one can recognize improvements resulting from new technology.
Movable type gave way to offset printing. Photographs
were enhanced by clarity and color. When word processing arrived on the scene, most of the preparation
for printing could be done in-house, including instant
changes in layout and typography.
Now we have reached a new year for the process, as the
technology now permits the “publication” of a “virtual”
adbook. Instead of a traditional book, guests at the
Annual Gala are receiving a “flash drive” storage device
that interfaces with a personal computer. Loaded onto
that drive are the contents of the 2009 Adbook, which
can be seen on your screen, and shared through electronic mail. The “pages” also will be projected onto
large screens in the ballroom during the Gala.
This adbook not only integrates state-of-the-art technology with the school’s traditional fundraising centerpiece. It also saves close to $20,000 in printing and
delivery costs, and shortens the production deadline
so we can accommodate more messages.
Maimonides School’s “virtual” adbook is proud to take
its place alongside other advances that we now take
for granted: e-newsletters, shiurim on the Web and CDs,
videoconferencing from Israel. New technology ensures
that Maimonides School—in the words of Rabbi Isaiah
Wohlgemuth, z”l—remains “modern as tomorrow ... yet
firmly rooted in the eternal truth of the Divine Torah.”

Dear Joe and Greta:
We feel privileged to join our community in saluting you for what you have contributed to our
lives over these many decades, and for what you continue to represent to our kehillah.
Greta: you shaped the educational and moral development of our young impressionistic children
in your first and third grade classrooms and in your tutorial sessions. Your unassuming and
understated acts of chessed to individual members of our adult community have been inspiring
and exemplary for those of us who happen to know of them. What your mother z”l – “Bubby
Lena” – represented in Savannah, you have come to represent to us.
Joe: how can we express our appreciation for so many years of thankless volunteer work on behalf
of our school in fulfillment of the Rav’s vision? You continue to be the “torch-bearer” for the Rav’s
mandate that we make our educational offerings available to each eligible child no matter how
little the family can afford to pay. Your personal religious life – centered as it is around tefillah betzibbur, kevi’at ittim la-Torah and gemillat chessed – reflects in a substantive manner the formative
influence of the Rav upon the young son of his good friend, Rabbi Leo Abelow z”l.
With personal gratitude for your friendship to us,
Miriam & Dovid Shapiro
In honor of
GRETA & JOE ABELOW

Torah is even greater than priesthood … or royalty … The Torah is acquired by means of forty-eight
qualities, which are: Study, attentive listening, joy, purity, closeness with friends, one who learns in
order to teach and learns in order to practice. Pirke Avot 6:6
To our dear friends, GRETA & JOEY!!
We couldn’t list all 48 qualities in the Pirke Avot

You are wonderful friends, great role models

Dear Michal:
Who knew when you arrived in Boston 14 years ago that you would become such a pivotal figure in our extended
community?
By virtue of your natural pedagogic instincts, your warm personality and your professional dedication, you
quickly became one of the most beloved teachers in our own school. When we had the opportunity to invest in
the training of a few teachers as mentors, you were one of the first to be approached.
At the Young Israel of Brookline, too, you have become one of their most sought-after teachers for the various
women’s learning sessions. As in Maimonides School, you don’t just teach the values of Torah; you model them.
How do you find time to be so involved in the Chevrat Chessed?
Prompted by your drive to extend yourself always beyond minimal expectations, and with Dov’s support and
encouragement, you undertook the responsibility to help develop and conduct our after-school “Growing Up”
program. Your sensitivity, tact, judgment and empathy guaranteed its success.
More recently, you have taught Ma’ayan’s mother-daughter pre-Bat-Mitzvah learning program. Again, your chein,
your enthusiasm and your understated religious fervor inspired all the participants.
May you and Dov continue to grace our community-at-large for many more years. You both personify its most
cherished values.

You are the kindest teacher someone will ever meet,
Doing your job 100% complete.
Always doing what you know is best,
Trying to fulfill everyone’s request.
Giving children a greater understanding of Torah,
Makes you an extraordinarily superb 3rd grade Morah!
Words just can’t express our joy and pride,
That you are amazing and special we just can’t hide.
Many times we have cried a tear or two,
On this occasion they are of happiness and love for you.
