to

Eve Levi and all the honorees

Your hard work and dedication has enriched the lives

of all the students and made the

Gerrard Berman Day School what it is today.

I have had the honor and pleasure of working with

Eve throughout the years. Your dedication to the

school is unparallel and you have never said “NO” to

anyone when asking for your

assistance or guidance. Congratulations on an honor

well deserved.

Mission Statement

We provide a superior secular and Judaic education

by challenging each of our students with innovative and

enriched learning opportunities in a warm, nurturing

community. We instill and foster Jewish identity and a

commitment to our local community and to Israel through

the integration of Jewish values, traditions, and the

Hebrew language. Our students graduate with the

academic skills and strength of character enabling them to

excel in higher education and to become responsible

citizens and future leaders.

Dear Gerrard Berman Day School Families, Faculty, Staff, Friends, Jewish Federation, and Supporters,

Today we embark on our Second Annual Family Fun Day! We celebrate the family, the

heart and soul of the Jewish community. We honor parents, children, grandparents, aunts, un-

cles, and cousins who gather together at happy and sad occasions. To our extended family, and

Federation, we have worked together so beautifully to enable our great Jewish community to re-

joice at the Blue Rill Camp.

We also celebrate the Gerrard Berman Day School, Solomon Schechter of North Jersey, a

place for Jewish children to attend a school where they learn a dual curriculum to become schol-

ars and “mensches.” They study both secular and Judaic studies, they observe American and Jew-

ish holidays. They learn algebraic equations and they learn Torah trope. They learn to be proud

as well informed Americans in our great democracy and also study to become leaders in the Jew-

ish community.

To all our many dedicated teachers, staff, parents and volunteers, one needs only to look

at the shining eyes of the children at work and at play within our school to be assured that you are

dedicated to a cause that will enable us to thrive as a school community and as a holy people. You

are dedicated to ensuring that the Gerrard Berman Day School will be strong and endure for our

children’s children.

We are honoring our fabulous volunteers! We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Lee Ann

Beck, Leah Matsil and Howie Greenberg for putting together the ad Journal, and to Amy Shafron,

Director of Development, for her indispensable help. We also thank all of the supporters of the

Gerrard Berman Day School for enabling this wonderful school to give to the families of the com-

munity.

We take this opportunity to honor the following members of our GBDS family:

Alex and Beth Paley – Fun Day Honorees

Eve Levi – Atid Award for Excellence in Teaching

Marcia Harvey – Ella Berman Visionary Award

Mindy Niederman – 15 years of teaching at our school

Meta Franke – 5 years of doing aftercare at our school

Now families….let’s have fun and be a kid again!!!

B’Shalom,

Rabbi Ellen Bernhardt

A Message from

Rabbi Ellen Bernhardt

Head of School

May 2012

Dear Gerrard Berman Day School Staff, Friends and Family,

Welcome to our second annual Fun Day! This event has grown and evolved so much

from last year that it is amazing to think this is only our second year and it is exciting to

think about where we will all be next year. We are grateful to once again have the

support of Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey and this year to add the

involvement of so many other organizations and businesses as well. I want to give a

special thanks to all of the volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly to make this a

successful event, especially Amy Shafron, Barry Blecherman, Tracy Zur, Lee Ann

Beck, Leah Matsil and Howie Greenberg.

Our honorees this year embody the very best of GBDS, what makes us such a special

community. Alex, as Board President, spearheaded the strategic planning which has

allowed GBDS to look toward our future. Beth, Marci and Eve have each held the truly

thankless and tireless job of PTO President and continue to make our children’s lives

richer- Beth with music and dance, Eve in the classroom, and Marci with Book Fair and

her near-daily mitzvot and volunteerism. We are so fortunate to have them in our

family.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge all of our sponsors, friends and families who are here to-

day. Each one of you is a vital member of our community. As I prepare to pass the torch

of Board Presidency to the very able Barry Blecherman, I find myself reflecting on

what a special place GBDS is. It has been an honor to work alongside our volunteers,

teachers and staff who focus on the mission every day to engage, nurture and inspire

every student. Because of their dedication, our children are becoming the Jewish lead-

ers of tomorrow. We should be very proud of our community. GBDS continues to meet

every challenge that faces us and grows stronger every day. May we all go from

strength to strength.

B’Shalom,

Shana Siegel

President, Board of Trustees

A Message from

Shana Siegel

President, Board of Trustees

Honorees

2011-2012

Alex and Beth Paley first visited GBDS when their twins, Hannah and David, were less

than a year old. They felt at home right away, and the feeling never left. A few years

later, both their children attended Pre-Kindergarten at the school, and they graduated

from eighth grade in 2010. During that time, the Paleys grew to become an integral and

enthusiastic part of the Gerrard Berman family.

Beth initially joined the PTO as the after-school activities coordinator and, within a year,

took on the role of PTO president, a position she held for four years. She edited and

produced the Keshet, GBDS's bi-weekly newsletter, during the school's development staff

transition. In addition, she served on the Strategic Planning committee. While her children have graduated, Beth is still an active GBDS volunteer as a member of

Pomegranate Productions, the group responsible for the school's annual musical

production. This year's show, "Rock the Boat, Noah," marks her seventh year as

co-director. Beth earned her Bachelor's degree from Brandeis University and her

Master's Degree in Administration and Training from Montclair State University. She

works for Women In Transition, a non-profit program which assists women in finding employment after separation, divorce, or loss of a spouse.

Alex joined the Board of Trustees in 2002. He was involved with various Board

committees, committee chairmanships and, ultimately, Executive Board positions,

culminating in serving as President of GBDS from 2007-2010. As Immediate Past-President, Alex is a member of the Executive Committee and still sits on various

committees. A graduate of a Solomon Schechter education (Hebrew Academy of the

Capital District in Albany, NY), Alex has held various positions of leadership in the Jewish

community over the years. He has served as both an Executive Board member and a

Board of Trustees member at Shomrei Torah Congregation in Wayne, and is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey. Alex

received his undergraduate degree from Brandeis University, and a Master of Public

Health degree from Boston University School of Medicine. He is a principal at Health Care

Navigator, a company that consults to portfolios owning and operating skilled nursing

facilities and related businesses.

Alex and Beth are passionate about their love for Gerrard Berman Day School and

consider all the work they do for the school an honor and a true labor of love.

2011-2012

Marcia Harvey

The Ella Berman Visionary Award

Marci Harvey is the consummate volunteer. She is the wife of Arthur Harvey and the mother

of five children, Mitchell, Lilly, Joshua, Pamela and Russell. In 1992, Marci enrolled her first child, Mitchell, in Nursery 3 and in 1994 enrolled Josh and Lilly in Nursery 2. At that time,

Pam was an infant and attended meetings with her Mom and ended up being passed around

to all in attendance. Russell, her youngest was not even on the radar at this time! Art Harvey was about to become an avid volunteer as well.

Marci took on the PTO’s Purim Basket project and Book Fair and made it look simple. Pam spent hours in a porta-crib in order for Marci to devote most of her days to these and many

other projects. Marci’s dedication to the School did not even slow down until Russell was born

five years later. Once up and running again, she returned to the Book Fair chairmanship as well as having serving as PTO President. Her Father, Jerry Preis was a teacher for 35 years

and always encouraged reading. Marci feels that this is why reading and working with chil-

dren inspired her to give so much time and effort to our School.

In an attempt to see what was going on in her children’s school, Marci began attending Board

meetings. She soon became the PTO representative to the Board and continued on the Board

until just recently. In addition to the Board, she has continued her involvement with Purim Baskets and continues to chair the Book Fair, handles Friday challot, and workes on an

assortment of fund raisers and projects. When help is needed throughout the school, Marci is

the first to volunteer her presence, expertise and willingness to do almost anything. By the way, Rabbi Bernhardt, Marci is not available to do Purim Baskets next year—she has a Bar

Mitzvah to plan!

Marci has a degree in Psychology from Alfred University. Prior to raising her family she

worked as a swim instructor at the Clifton-Passaic Y and was a Recreation Therapist at

Daughters of Miriam for five years. She is the middle child with two brothers, Joseph and Garrett. Her mother, Miriam Preis, and in-laws, Loretta and Morton Harvey, have always been

there as loving and supportive people. As this year’s recipient of the Ella Berman Visionary

Award, Marci Harvey is the epitome of what Ella and Gerrard Berman represented in their

efforts to provide an excellent educational environment for Jewish children.

Atid Award Presented to Eve Levi

Eve Levi has been at the Gerrard Berman Day School since 1996 when she and

her family returned to New Jersey from Israel. Eve and her husband Guy have

four children, Oren, Aya, Yonaton and Itai. Her parents, Gerdi and Bob Bennett

have been part of the GBDS family as well.

Eve began her GBDS life as a mother and a volunteer. She was a PTO

Co-President from 2000-2003, a Board member for many years and in 2005

began as a co-teacher in our Nursery. She went on to the Pre-Kindergarten and is

currently the Kindergarten teacher. She remains a staunch parent supporter and

volunteer at our school as well.

As a teacher, as a volunteer, as a mother, daughter and wife, Eve Levi has been

an inspiration to all who have watched, worked with and known her. Eve has a

very warm and loving manner and makes those around her, no matter how young

or old, feel reassured, cared about, and one walks away from every encounter

feeling smarter and very satisfied. What a pleasure it is to know her!

Thank you to all the teachers, staff, and friends that have made volunteering so much fun and

rewarding. Many hours of hard work were put in, but the pleasure of seeing the kids’ smiling faces is

the best reward. I have spent years volunteering with people who became my closest friends. There is

no better gift.

My journey as a volunteer began as a teenage camper at Tel Yehudah, a Zionist Jewish camp. The main

focus at Tel Yehudah is to promote leadership, Jewish values, and making a difference within your

community. I learned these skills and values at summer camp as a teenager and have incorporated

them into my life from that point forward. Being able to use these skills and my passion for

volunteering to make a difference in the lives of my children, our school, and the Jewish community

has been the most wonderful opportunity.

Thank you for the honor of the Ella Berman Visionary Award. Ella Berman was part of my Temple

family and enjoyed watching my children grow up. It is a personal privilege for me to receive an award

in her name, as she and her family have been mentors to they way I lead my life.

Mazel Tov to Eve, Beth, and Alex.

Everyone should know the lasting impact your many hours of work have had on our wonderful school. I

am truly blessed to have you as my friends. I can’t imagine life without you.

Marci, My wonderful wife, I am so proud of this honor bestowed upon you. Your tireless efforts on behalf of GBDS are an inspiration to many.
