Mazel tov to all of us at Chabad of Port Washington on the first graduating class at our elementary school, Chabad Academy of Science & the Humanities' Max & Ruth Schwartz Elementary. This is clearly a milestone event! At this time I would like to congratulate the graduates and their families, and offer a few appropriate thank yous:

Thank you to Rabbi Glogauer and the dedicated team of professionals and administrators, for a job well done.

Thank you to Henry Schwartz for being the catalyst behind the establishment of the elementary school, back in 1998.

Thank you Dr. Martin Brownstein, the pioneer who first established the Florence Brownstein Preschool back in 1991, on which was later built the elementary.

Thank you Jonathan Iseson for dedicating our new building in 2000 so that the school and Chabad could have a permanent home.

Thank you Bert Brodsky, Adam Katz and Frank Arnold, the 3-way partnership which built Phase II to allow for the necessary expansion of the school.

Thank you to our family of financial backers who make it possible for us to offer an amazing educational program for affordable tuition so that no child misses out on this opportunity.

Most importantly, thank you Hashem, Al-Mighty G‑d, for blessing our work with success. We pray for continued blessings for the future so that we can have a positive effect on the lives of many hundreds of young people by giving them a well-rounded Jewish education along with an excellent education in general studies.

Mazel Tov! Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel
