Welcome
W
elcome to the first edition of
Pathway to the Future, Derekh
L’Atid; a publication from the Office
of Institutional Advancement. The impetus
of which is twofold: to serve as a vehicle to
thank and recognize the invaluable support
and generosity of Academy donors, as well
as increase awareness of and involvement
in all aspects of fundraising activities and
giving opportunities. My hope is that this
publication motivates support, inspires action
and becomes a catalyst for on-going dialogue
and collaboration. I invite your comments and
suggestions as we partner to build a “Pathway
to the Future” for the Academy.
The Hebrew word derekh can refer to a
physical road or pathway, but metaphorically
it often refers to the course of one’s life.
Everyone who is alive and conscious is on life’s
journey and each new day presents us with
many opportunities as to how we pursue our
own distinctive path. No one can get off the
road and no one can walk it for you; it is our
own private and unique journey where the
decisions and choices we make will ultimately
lead us somewhere and propel us forward.
Rabbi Warren Goldstein (the chief Rabbi of
South Africa) tells the story of a very wealthy
man who died and left two wills; one to be
opened upon his death and the other to be
opened thirty days after the funeral.
In the first will, he commanded his family
only one thing, to be buried wearing his
socks. Out of obligation, the family asked
the Jewish burial society to leave his socks
on his feet. Unfortunately, their request was
denied because, according to Jewish law, the
deceased must be buried simply, without any
adornment or clothing.
Jodie Gisser
Director of Institutional Advancement
the second will since they did not fulfill the
first and only request. Would they be written
out of any inheritance?
The will read something like this: “By now
you have realized that it was not possible to
bury me with my socks on. Therefore, I now
bequeath to you all my substantial worldly
fortune. Take this as a lesson though; you can’t
even take your socks with you, let alone your
wealth. Make sure you use this money wisely
because the money will stay here but what you
do with it will accompany you on to the next
world.”
Life is a journey and there will always be
“forks in the road” that present challenging
and seemingly conflicting choices. But, as the
story of Rabbi Warren Goldstein illustrates,
make it meaningful, fulfilling and enjoyable for
you and give generously of yourself and your
good fortune with all the people with whom
you are traveling. Your return and reward will
be everlasting.
Warmest Regards,
Thirty days following the funeral, the family
was extremely worried about the contents of

Fundraising Events
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
It’s hard to believe that the start of the new
academic year begins in just a few short
weeks. Jodie and I have been planning some
new and exciting fundraising appeals for the
coming year, as well as keeping some of the
oldies but goodies that have been successful.
Below are listed a few of those fundraising
events for 2013-2014.
Pathway to the Future Brick Campaign
is highlighted in this issue. It is a way you
can be part of a permanent legacy for future

generations to see when visiting the Academy.

birthday or anniversary and pay tribute to
those special individuals whose memories live
on in our hearts, while paving the walkway entrance to the Academy’s
beautiful Gardens of Israel.
Academy Golf Tournament is being planned for the spring of 2014.
We would love for our friends from all over the world to put together
a foursome and join us in Greensboro for this golf outing; however, if
that is not a possibility, then we invite you to partner with us through
tournament sponsorships. Consider having your company or family be
an event sponsor, a green sponsor, a hole sponsor or even a beverage
cart sponsor. The possibilities are endless.
Mish’loah Manot is always a favorite fundraiser. On Purim, we
emphasize the importance of friendship and community by sending
gifts of food, mish’loah manot. What a perfectly delicious way to honor
and surprise students, teachers, advisors, roommates, houseparents,
fellows, colleagues, friends and family, near or far, with a yummy
and strictly kosher gift bag of treats, including mouth-watering
hamantaschen.
The High Holy Days appeal starts now! As Rosh Hashanah begins
on the eve of September 5, it’s time to think about sending Shana
Tova greetings to your friends and family around the world. And the
American Hebrew Academy can help you do just that with two great
options, shown on the following page; choose one or take advantage of
both.

Option 1: Purchase American Hebrew Academy Jewish New Year cards which
showcase our students’ artistic talents. This year, Abby Kaplan, Max Nemhauser
and Emily Kerner, Class of 2014, will have their photographs on our cards. Below
is a thumbnail of each of the photo options available for purchase. Cards are $18.00
each, 6 for $90 (5 cards + 1 free) and 12 for $180 (10 cards + 2 free).

Those are just a few of the fundraising opportunities being planned this coming school
year. Thank you, as always, for your participation and commitment to our beloved
school. Your support will continue to help sustain and shape the future of our
students, the Academy, and the Jewish community.
Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year,

A Tribute to
Stanley Shavitz, z”l, and Phyllis Polon met in 1955 at a Jewish singles weekend in
Charlotte, NC, and were married six months later. In 2005, they renewed their
vows on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. Stanley and Phyllis were
devoted to each other and dedicated to helping those less fortunate through
philanthropy and community involvement.
Stanley and Phyllis were born and raised in the south, North Carolina and Virginia
respectfully. Stanley’s father owned a jewelry store in Gastonia and he managed the
business with his father until he married Phyllis, and their son, Steve, was born. In
1958, the Shavitz Family moved to High Point to start their own business, Direct
Furniture, which they successfully operated together for 30 years.
Once retired, they relocated to Greensboro
in order to be closer to Steve, his wife, Joy,
and their grandsons, Marc and Robbie.
Stanley and Phyllis were very involved
and active in both the High Point and
Greensboro communities. They supported
many Jewish causes: the synagogues in
both communities, maintenance at the High
Point Hebrew Cemetery, American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Camp
Judaea and the Jewish Education Loan Fund
(JELF).

In High Point, Stanley served on the High
Point Civil Service Commission, Youth
Services Board, Consumer Credit Council,
High Point Public Library Board and
High Point Historical Museum Board. In
Greensboro, he was involved with the
Greensboro Jewish Federation and served
on the Boards of the Gate City Kiwanis Club,
Greensboro Children’s Museum and the
American Hebrew Academy.
Phyllis was very involved with Hospice of the Piedmont and spearheaded a pilot
fundraiser, “Taste of the Town.” Now, 25 years later, the event raises more than
$100,000 with over 200 volunteers. A lifelong supporter of Hadassah and “Keeper
of the Gate,” Phyllis is very proud to have been the first Jewish member on the
High Point Public Library Board as well as also serving on the Boards of and in
leadership positions for the: Sheppard’s Center of Greensboro, Judaic Art Gallery of
the North Carolina Museum of Art, Women to Women of Greensboro and is a LOJE
(Lion of Judah Endowment) at the Greensboro Jewish Federation.

According to Phyllis, Stanley thought that Chico Sabbah, z”l, was an amazing man and the
American Hebrew Academy was the greatest idea. Stanley was overjoyed to join the Board
of Trustees and was determined to do whatever he could to help increase awareness,
student enrollment and financial support.
“Had I only worked harder and spent less, I would have even more money to give to the
Academy,” Stanley remarked.
Stanley passed away in 2006, but his legacy is larger than life. Funding the creation of
the Stanley and Phyllis Shavitz Hebrew Language Learning Lab as well as establishing
the Stanley Shavitz Merit Scholarship Fund epitomizes Stanley’s commitment to Jewish
education and the American Hebrew Academy. The Academy is extremely fortunate and
grateful for the ongoing and everlasting support from Stanley and Phyllis.

Annual Sukkot Luncheon
Beautiful fall colors and clear skies were the scenery for our annual Luncheon
in the Sukkah, where Greensboro Academy supporters and friends gathered
for a festive luncheon.
This was an opportunity for members of our local community to meet and
mingle with Academy students. Through their generous charitable gifts,
several of our students receive merit or need-based scholarships to attend the
Academy. We are so very grateful for their continuos support and the support
of the Greensboro community.
Rising junior Moshe Katchen, one of several students chosen to speak to our
guests, talked passionately about his reasons for attending the Academy and
how appreciative he is to have been chosen to receive one of the Academy’s
scholarships. Excerpts of his presentation are on the next page.

My name is Moshe Katchen. I am a new sophomore at the American Hebrew
Academy and an honored recipient of a merit scholarship.
I first found out about the Academy at my Young Judea summer camp in Wisconsin. I
was so drawn to this school because I saw great academic programs and state-of-theart facilities. I also saw a friendly environment, but most of all I saw a chance to be
Jewish. I come from a small Midwestern town where people know a lot more about
corn and soy beans then they do about Judaism. The only place I could be Jewish was
my camp.
At school, I hid my name because it was so unusual; I had to hide my academic
achievements because of the high school culture. At the Academy, I realize that there
are no limitations on what you can achieve. I started the chess club and I am excited
to try out for the tennis team in the spring. I don’t have to worry about any of my
past problems that existed at my other school, because they just do not exist at the
Academy.
Coming to the Academy has given me the opportunity to not only be surrounded by
a Jewish community, but also a pluralistic environment. I want you to know what a
privilege it is to be here with you today, to be chosen to speak in front of you and how
grateful I am for your contributions to the Academy. I am truly looking forward to
giving back to this school and this community to the best of my ability. On behalf of
all the scholarship recipients, I thank you for all you have done for this school.

Fundraising Efforts Yield
Significant Dollars for
Student Scholarships
An anonymous gift of $100,000 was made by
an alumni family to establish the Maimonides
Scholarship for Academic Excellence. The
scholarship was created as a tribute to the
Academy’s faculty whose inspiration and
encouragement fosters student success.
The family proudly states, “By just any measure, the
American Hebrew Academy is not only recognized as
America’s only International Jewish Boarding High School,
but has quickly evolved into one of the very top Jewish day
schools in the country. The best measure of its growth can be
seen in the successes of its graduates as they go on to higher
education and try to make the world a better place. While
the cost of education is great, we have to realize that it is
well worth the investment. Saving, and having to do without
some of the extras we would like to have, is not always
an easy thing, but knowing that our children will be well
educated and well prepared for college and beyond is worth
the sacrifices. The purpose of the Maimonides Scholarship
for Academic Excellence is to reach those academically gifted
and motivated students who would not be able to attend the
Academy, without substantial financial assistance, regardless
of the sacrifices made by their families. It gives these young
people a chance that they would otherwise never have, and
it honors the Academy faculty who are key figures in the
success of the school and its graduates.”

Board of Trustees member Scott Shay and his wife Susan
launched a $200,000 Matching Gifts Challenge Grant from
July 2012 – December 2012. Susan and Scott have been
ardent supporters and donors to the Academy. Their
intention in making this generous gift was to expand the
network of donors who support the
Academy and encourage others to
contribute in the hope that we would
meet the challenge. Thank you to
the Shay Family and to everyone who
participated in the Strike A Match
appeal as we exceeded our goal
by 200%.
The Academy qualified for a $50,000 matching grant funded
by AVI CHAI and Kohelet Foundations, in partnership with the
Jewish Funders Network and the Partnership for Excellence
in Jewish Education (PEJE) this past year. The program
matched funds, (1:2 match), of first time donors giving a
gift of at least $10,000 or increasing a gift 5X’s from any
previous gifts given to support Jewish day school education.
Participating schools could receive a maximum match of
$50,000.
The American Hebrew Academy wishes to extend a heartfelt
thank you to these donors and funders for their generosity,
support and commitment to our students and the mission of
the Academy.

patchwork of loving messages, dedications and inscriptions.”

A Sharp New Advocacy Tool for
Jewish Day Schools
Posted on May 28, 2013
by Dr. Elaine Cohen, Dr.
Scott Goldberg, Amy Katz,
Dr. Marc Kramer and
Dr. Jane West Walsh
Jewish day schools make a difference in the lives of children, the educators who learn
with them, and the communities they serve. However, with escalating costs, a lagging
economy, and disruptive new educational models, the sustainability of day schools has
become an existential challenge.
We’ve long encouraged schools to clarify their missions and articulate their cases
with strength, emotion, and evidence. In turn, they’ve learned to sharpen their value
propositions and use data that demonstrates a significant return on investment.
Research conducted from the within the Jewish world in recent years has supported
the argument for Jewish day school education. Now, a new academic study provides
dramatic evidence about the power of faith-based education to help Jewish day
schools advocate more forcefully.
William Jeynes, a senior fellow at the Witherspoon Institute in Princeton, New Jersey
– not a Jewish day school professional – has published an important paper in the
Peabody Journal of Education that notes: “attending private religious schools is
associated with the highest level of academic achievement among the three
school types [religious private schools, charter schools, and public schools],
even when sophisticated controls are used to adjust for socioeconomic status.”
Jeynes’ data, which derives from a meta-analysis of 90 studies on a variety of
educational institutions, is extremely relevant for those of us making the case for
Jewish day school. Its very existence – which came to our attention via the Council
for American Private Education (CAPE) - instantly boosts the reputation of Jewish
day schools for current families, alumni and friends. This research persuasively
confirms for our Jewish day school families that they’ve made the right decision.
For families that have not yet made the choice, it makes the case that their
children will benefit when they do.
Jeynes’ paper is an invaluable advocacy tool for Jewish day schools, providing an
unprecedented form of external validation. Because the data comes from a totally
unaffiliated source, with no investment in Jewish day schools’ success or failure, it
achieves a kind of objective authority our own data can’t possibly possess.
20
This research confirms what we have been saying for a long time: Jewish day
school education does make a significant difference. By promoting this research,
in conjunction with school-focused advocacy, day schools will create an opportunity
for the wider Jewish world to realize how much our version of a “private faith-based
school” has to offer. Jewish parents, after all, universally subscribe to the notion
of educational excellence. In an interview with the Council for American Private
Continued...
Education, Jeynes says: “Students who attend religious schools score at an academic level about
12 months ahead of their counterparts.” This striking result and affirmation of the quality of
religious schools should influence the educational choices of every Jewish parent.
(Note: Jeynes’ paper has other uses as well. For those who must contend with competition from
Hebrew charter schools, Jeynes offers this: “Students from public charter schools, however,
performed no better than their counterparts in other public schools.”)
This research has particular implications for schools’ financial sustainability because parents’
perceived quality significantly influences enrollment, and word-of-mouth marketing can make or
break an enrollment program. Of course, this study alone won’t necessarily cause local parents
to choose a Jewish day school, but it can, and should, become part of every school’s advocacy
plan. Smart schools will publicize Jeynes’ findings, in tandem with data that argues their own
academic excellence, and they will announce this in a variety of ways (to ensure that the message
gets out there, and sticks): blog posts, email blasts, tweets, webinars, and even live “Day School
Data” events on campus.
Jewish day school leaders have been handed a bonus in the form of an outsider’s research. The
challenge: To make Jeynes’ work matter to their communities. It will, for the schools that use it,
provide deep, structural support for any Jewish day school argument.
