In 1937, the door opened on a bold experiment in Jewish learning. Rabbi Dr. Joseph 

Soloveitchik, l Z vf, founded Maimonides School to engage the hearts and teach the 

minds of Jewish children. Its ambitious dual curriculum would pair proficiency in 

Torah education with excellence in general studies, preparing students to contribute 

to the modern world while invigorating their attachment to Judaism and a halachic 

way of life. Its atmosphere would inspire boys and girls equally to a love of learning, 

mitzvot, chesed, Am Yisrael, and Eretz Yisrael. 

From its first class of six students, this vision has blossomed into an energetic 

educational center of almost 600 students, learning together in Kindergarten 

through Grade 12. Students from Greater Boston and beyond, and from a wide range 

of religious backgrounds, are welcomed into a school community by teachers who 

reach out to motivate and educate. 

Student life begins with a full academic schedule and continues beyond the 

classroom with stimulating clubs, sports and activities. Chesed and tzedakah efforts 

are part of daily life, demonstrating students’ compassionate awareness of their 

relationship to the wider world and their willingness to take action. Indeed, the 

values fostered by this school community endure; Maimonides graduates have earned 

an enviable reputation for leadership and accomplishment in every field of human 

endeavor. For over six decades, they have brought the Rav’s vision to life—Torah life, 

and contemporary life. 

Maimonides students are at home with intensive study, academic achievement and 

schedules brimming with activity. More important, Maimonides students are at home 

with halachic life, indelibly connected to Judaism, and dedicated to perpetuating the 

sacred tradition. From the youngest to those on the eve of graduation, these are lives 

shaped by head and heart, intellect and love. They are both outstanding students and 

extraordinary people. We invite you to discover for yourself this unique treasure of 

Jewish education in Boston, and share it with your children.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD 

For 70 years, Maimonides School has educated bnei Torah -- spectacular young men 

and women who have actively embraced the Mesorah lived and taught by our school’s 

revered founder, Rabbi Dr. Joseph B. Soloveitchik, l”z. From kindergarten, through 

high school, to yeshivot in Israel, to universities and graduate schools, and ultimately 

to the heart of Jewish communities all over the world and in Israel, imbued with a 

love of Torah and equipped to operate at the highest level of society, intellectually 

and professionally, Maimonides has been and continues to be a source of energy and 

lifeblood to the Jewish community. 

In this context, we have the privilege to honor and embrace Jennifer and Scott Tobin 

this year. On every level -- as deeply committed bnei Torah themselves, as the parents 

of four wonderful children in our school, as dedicated, effective and powerful lay 

leaders within our school community and our broader Jewish community -- Jen and 

Scott model beautifully the outcome we pursue in our school. Jen and Scott live 

their lives in modernity, as successful professionals, as successful parents, as inspiring 

leaders within our community -- all the while, in the beautiful and visible context of 

their Torah values. 

That the Tobin Family is in the midst of making aliyah, up to the Land of Israel, is a 

poignant overtone to this year’s celebration. As our school celebrates 70 years of the 

principles espoused by the Rav -- the centrality of Halacha, the demanding standard 

of excellent education equally for girls and boys, a visceral and tangible connection 

to Medinat Yisrael, and the important of living chesed within our kahal -- we are mindful 

that the State of Israel has just celebrated its 60th “anniversary.” That the Tobins are 

choosing to make their home in Israel is a beautiful link between the community we 

work so hard to build at the Maimonides School, and the Land we love and yearn for. 

Maimonides School’s myriad achievements this year – in the beit midrash, classroom 

and laboratory, on the ballfield and the stage, are enhanced by the almost tangible 

presence of Israel in the very atmosphere. From the Elementary School children’s 

singing of Hatikvah and their Shulchan Ivrit, from the Jerusalem time clock in 

the auditorium to seniors’ classes on Israel advocacy, Zionism is a cornerstone 

of the Maimonides experience. And nearly 200 alumni who reside in Israel are 

living testimony.

Amidst these milestones for our school and our people, I thank everyone for their 

support, from the teachers and administrators to the volunteer leaders, committee 

members, donors, room parents, event planners. For 70 years Maimonides 

has personified a school community, and with G-d’s help that will provide an 

impregnable foundation for the future.

Board Chair

Message from the Executive Director 

Maimonides School is thrilled to culminate its 70th year with a successful Annual 

Campaign and Gala in honor of Jennifer and Scott Tobin. 

The school begins its eighth decade with renewed commitment to its mission, pride 

and gratitude for its achievements, and confidence that future challenges will be 

successfully met by hundreds of dedicated and capable professionals and volunteers. 

Our school community is inspired by the generations whose efforts we have been 

blessed to inherit. 

The Tobins represent a new generation of leadership that is reinvigorating Maimonides 

school. They have devoted their time, imagination, skills and resources to the 

full range of school activities and priorities, from the classroom to the Board room, 

from PTA projects to financial security. They and their children serve as an authentic 

model for engaged and committed families. 

Our school family, with the usual mixed emotions, salutes the members of the Class 

of 2008 as they close this chapter of their lives. This is our school’s largest senior class, 

and its record of academic effort, extracurricular accomplishment and commitment 

to chesed will be hard to duplicate. We welcome the seniors to one of the country’s 

fastest-growing Jewish organizations – the Maimonides School Alumni Association. 

We note with sadness the passing of Mr. Abraham Levovitz, beloved leader, mentor, 

friend and president of our school. Mr. Levovitz’s efforts over several decades 

were largely responsible for the stability and growth of our school. He is profoundly 

missed. 

As the campaign draws to a close, I extend heartfelt thanks to the Development Committee, 

Philip Levy, Debbie Swartz and Jenn Weinstock, and the dozens of volunteer 

solicitors who are the backbone of this fundraising effort. The energy and creativity 

invested by Risa Gewurz and Allison Mael, chairs of the Annual Gala, are sure to 

result in a spectacular event. 

Thanks and kudos as well to the administrators and staff of the Accounting and 

Development Offices, whose behind-the-scenes efforts and loyal service are cornerstones 

of any successful campaign.

The “Builders of Maimonides” 

The Children of Maimonides School

Every institution depends on a core of committed, passionate volunteers like Scott 

and Jennifer Tobin, honorees of Maimonides School’s 2008 Annual Campaign. 

“The notion of participating is inherently connected to who Jen and I are as 

people,” Scott explains. “It’s in our blood, it’s in our being. It was passed on to us 

by our parents and grandparents.” Adds Jennifer, “The motivation is that we feel 

Maimonides is our community. We get a lot from Maimonides, and we want to 

contribute to it in return.” 

Scott and Jennifer Tobin grew up in Long Island, New York. He graduated from 

Brandeis in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies and 

a concentration in international relations. She is a 1993 Brandeis graduate, earning 

her degree in neuroscience. 

They have four children: Benjamin, 10 and a Maimonides fifth-grader; Coby, 8 and a 

Maimonides second grader; Avi, age 5. and Zachary, almost 3. During their six years 

as Maimonides School parents, the depth and breadth of the Tobins’ commitment 

and involvement have served as a model for all school families. 

Scott shared his professional expertise as a member of the Development Committee 

in 2004 and joined the Board of Directors the following year. He chairs the Board’s 

Investment Committee and is a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. He 

also organized a letter-writing campaign among Elementary School students to 

American forces stationed in Iraq. 

Jennifer began her volunteer service on the Recruitment Committee in 2002 and is 

currently co-chair of the Parent-Teacher Association, after serving as a room parent 

for several years. She also started the popular adult women’s Wednesday night 

basketball program, now in its second year in the Maimonides gym. Earlier this year 

the Tobins chaired a hugely successful and unprecedented comedy night. 

“Community involvement,” Scott asserts, is “inherently connected to the 

responsibility we have as members of the Jewish community. Our lives would 

certainly not be as fulfilling if we weren’t activists in some form or another, whether 

it be encouraging the students to write letters to soldiers or bringing the community 

together for a comedy night, hosting our children’s grades in our succah, or just 

serving pizza at school on Rosh Chodesh. They’re all one and the same.”

“We’ve had super role models,” Jennifer says. “We are very fortunate to be friends 

with people who have been part of Maimonides since its inception. Because of that 

we know how hard it was to create this school in a time when there was nothing 

else like it here in Boston. And when we see people that are still coming to the 

Maimonides dinner long after their children have graduated, it’s a sign to us that 

this really is a true community that cares about Jewish education. They taught us the 

bigger picture, that in supporting Maimonides we also help make Boston a viable and 

beautiful place to live as an Orthodox Jew.” 

Jennifer feels her children “are definitely proud of the fact that we’re at the 

school so much, that we spend so much time in the building, whether it’s for 

Family Learning or just being in their classrooms. For them academics is just one 

aspect of Maimonides. It’s also their community center where they feel secure and 

comfortable, and free to be themselves. Most importantly, it’s not just a school. It’s a 

place where the whole family is involved.” 

“It’s our hope,” Scott says, “that just as our grandparents instilled in our parents, and 

our parents instilled in us, that we will instill in our children the responsibility of 

being doers and making a difference in the communities that they will one 

day call home.” 

Scott joined Battery Ventures, a private equity and venture capital firm in 1997 and 

has been a general partner since 2000. Jennifer conducted clinical research on aging 

and memory at the Einstein College of Medicine in New York and Massachusetts 

General Hospital. 

The Tobins, who reside in Brookline, are actively involved in a number of other 

Jewish organizations, including AIPAC and CJP, and also helped launch 

Mercaz Ma’asei in Israel, a national service initiative and training center. Its mission 

is strengthening Israeli society through professional volunteerism and developing 

the next generation of civic leaders.

MAIMONIDES SCHOOL ADBOOK SUPPLEMENT, 

2007-2008/5768 

This journal is a supplement to the 2007–2008/5768 Maimonides 

School Scholarship Adbook. The Adbook was distributed to everyone 

attending the school’s Annual Gala, which took place on June 1 at the 

John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston. 

Nearly 400 seniors, parents, teachers, friends and supporters attended 

the Gala, celebrating a memorable school year and a successful Annual 

Campaign. Highlight of the event was recognition of the school’s honorees, 

parents Jennifer and Scott Tobin, who exemplify a new generation 

of Maimonides School volunteer leaders. The Tobins were introduced 

by a video tribute and by remarks by Zev Gewurz, their friend 

and neighbor. The honorees, who plan aliyah in the summer of 2008, 

spoke about the importance of service to the school. They accepted an 

engraved Kiddush cup as a gift from the school community. 

Also in the spotlight at the Annual Gala were members of Maimonides 

School’s Class of 2008. Seniors were introduced individually, to prolonged 

applause, and several fulfilled roles in the program, including 

a dvar Torah by Felicia Kuperwaser and a tribute to faculty by Sarah 

Cassel, outgoing co-presidents of the Student Council. Evan Gale led 

the singing of national anthems and Yehudah Leib Ahearn the Birkat 

HaMazon. 

Rabbi David Shapiro, Rosh Yeshiva, offered memorial tributes to two 

pillars of the school community who died over the past year, Rabbi 

Isaiah Wohlgemuth z”l and President Emeritus Abraham Levovitz z”l. 

Also speaking were Jeffrey Swartz, who chairs the Maimonides Board 

of Directors, and two former executive directors, Joshua Wolff ’89 and 

Leora Joseph. 

The event began with an extended dinner reception—a spectacular 

buffet from Catering by Andrew. As guests arrived, they were greeted 

by music provided by the Maimonides Jazz Band. Chairs of the Annual 

Gala were Risa Gewurz, Allison Mael and Jennifer Weinstock.
