It was a privilege to be part of Schechter Manhattan (or, as we called it back then, SSSM) from its founding in 1995 through the end of 2008.

Not only were Aron and Jonah able to engage in intensive, progressive secular and Jewish studies, but they were consistently encouraged to be kind, compassionate, thoughtful human beings, all within the framework of a very special community.

To everyone who made that possible, from the people who came together in 1995, to teachers and staff, donors, members of the various boards, and our fellow SSSM parents and students, for the last time, we extend our heartfelt thanks.

With Gratitude to and Recognition of all the Teachers and Staff of the Solomon Schechter School of Manhattan through the years....
 
Words alone can never express our deepest thanks to and appreciation of all of the teachers and staff of SSSM from the day the school opened its doors. We have always been in awe of their patience, guidance, knowledge, love of learning and teaching, and menschlichkeit. Their skills provided our family with not only a solid education, but gave our children the immeasurable gift of curiosity, made learning a joyous experience and helped them develop into life long learners.
 
The staff's friendliness, support, excellence and dependability made the Schechter the warm community we remain a part of. We acknowledge that these are debts that can never be repaid.
 
Thank you,
 
Susan and Marty and the entire Lorin and Kupferberg families
