Bernard Zell 2018-2019 School Highlights and Donor Report

SCHOOL
HIGHLIGHTS
AND
DONOR
REPORT
1

DEAR FRIENDS,
The 2018–2019 school year at
Bernard Zell was my introduction
to this incredible community.
Through interviews, meetings
and town halls, I met students,
parents, grandparents, alumni,
faculty and staff. I met board
members, the PTC executive team
and a wide range of committed
volunteers, all working to improve educational outcomes for
the next generation of Jewish leaders. And while I was not
an administrator last school year, I was warmly welcomed
into the Bernard Zell family and was able to observe the
strengths of our teachers and the dedication of parents. This
report details what I saw last year. Now four months into the
2019-2020 school year, I’ve been able to witness firsthand
how your generosity fuels this warm and welcoming
community.
Stewarding forward the Bernard Zell Annual Campaign,
Captial Campaign, endowment initiative and all other efforts
contained in these pages during the last year was Dr. Alyson
Horwitz. Her leadership was crucial to getting us to where
we are today–and along with the rest of the Bernard Zell
staff–is to be enthusiastically commended.
As we now make big ambitious plans for the future of our
students, I encourage you to read through the history of
last year so you can find the strength and excitement that
will propel us into the future together. It is my honor to be
working alongside you, and my privilege to be standing on
the shoulders of all those who have already done so much to
make Bernard Zell the stunning example that it is today.
L’Shalom,
Gary Weisserman
Head of School

THE CHAMLIN FAMILY HELPING TO GROW
FUTURE JEWISH LEADERS
Residing a short distance from school in Uptown, it’s not uncommon for
Diana and Adam Chamlin to drive by the Bernard Zell campus on their
way to a routine appointment or event. But should their kids, Jay (SK) or
Henna (3rd), happen to notice that they’re even within a few blocks of the
school, they’ll beg mom and dad to change course and drive right down
Broadway. And this past summer, they loved to drive by and check on the
progress of our new home.
“The kids feel so comfortable at school,”
said Adam. “It’s a home away from
home. So it makes sense that even
during the summer months, they
want to see the building they associate
with their friends, teachers and feelings
of security.”
This sense of community and shared
values is a big part of why the
Chamlin’s chose Bernard Zell for their
kids, and it’s why they’ve made it a
priority to get involved and support the
school. Diana has served on the Parent
Teacher Committee and as a parent
ambassador, and as a family they’ve
made meaningful contributions in
support of both the Annual Campaign
and the ongoing Campaign to
Transform Bernard Zell.
“Both of our families gave what they
could to causes they valued,” said
Diana. “In fact, my parents, who were
immigrants from Russia, supported
The Jewish Federation, the organization
that helped them immigrate
to the United States.”
“Our parents supporting the causes
they believed in was a lesson we both
internalized. And today, we want to
pass the same culture of philanthropy
along to our kids by showing them that
giving to the school is a good lesson. If
we have the ability to donate, we want
to do it because it reflects our values
and can help others,” continued Adam.
With construction now nearing
completion, Diana, Adam, Jay and
Henna are even more excited to drive
by school because they not only see
the growing building as a place of
learning, it’s also a point of pride.
The Chamlins are honored to have
been able to help support the school
community of today while also
building for future generations of
Jewish leaders.

THE FEIRSTEIN FAMILY EXEMPLIFYING
COMMUNITY VALUES
When Franci and Mike Feirstein began the process of researching
schools for their daughter Joely (4th), they attended a school fair in
order to fully explore all of their options. “Bernard Zell has a great reputation,
but we didn’t think it would be an affordable option for us,” said
Franci. “But a friendly conversation with school leadership at that event
gave us insight into the incredible financial aid opportunities available.
We applied not long after that school fair and I’ll never forget when we
received our acceptance letter. Financially, the school met us where we
were and we felt–and continue to feel–so fortunate.”
For the Feirsteins, supporting the
school community is a way to express
gratitude for the generosity her family
has been shown and an opportunity to
build relationships with other Bernard
Zell families.
“Bernard Zell is very communityoriented,”
said Franci. “It really feels
like a family to us. I love volunteering
because I love being at the school,
not only to see my kid but to see
what goes on, meet other moms,
teachers and staff.”
The Feirsteins have been builders of
community by volunteering for the
Annual Campaign, serving on the
Institutional Advancement Committee,
working in the lunchroom and donating
professional services with the creation
of last year’s strategic plan video.
These gifts of time reflect a true
dedication to the school and embody
the values our community holds dear.
Every day the Feirsteins exemplify
the values of kehilla, community,
and the sense of peoplehood that is
foundational to Bernard Zell and the
Jewish community as a whole.

A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
On October 27, 2019, a crowd of over 600 gathered in the Pritzker and
Pucker Families Gymnasium and Performance Space, and together sang,
celebrated and prayed during the dedication of the new Bernard Zell
building. Alumna, Ali Schriebman ’17, and current student, Eliza Lampert
’20, led the crowd in singing The Hope with spirit and pride. Rabbi Michael
Siegel of Anshe Emet Synagogue led a meaningful dedication prayer. Eddie
the Eagle made an appearance and embodied the ruach felt throughout
the entire school and concluded the official ribbon cutting ceremony.
Many Bernard Zell alumni families
capitalized on the opportunity to return
to the school to reconnect with the
place and the people that were so
foundational to their early educational
journey. Many alumni worked with Kyle
Sheahan, the Director of Athletics, to
facilitate various games and activities
on the field for all of the current
students and younger children in
attendance. Alumni families enjoyed
the familiar Bernard Zell spirit, while
also celebrating the exciting changes at
Bernard Zell.
Countless families took advantage of
the activities that took place
throughout the building, including tile
painting in the art rooms. Some families
meticulously planned out and painted
their tiles with guidance from the
experienced art teachers, while others
took a free-form approach to mixing
colors and patterns on the tiles that will
be displayed in the stairwells of the
new building for generations to come.
Regardless of which of the many
activities each person in attendance
enjoyed, excitement was felt
throughout the building.
Bernard Zell would not have reached
this momentous day with the collective
energies of our supportive community.
It is incredibly fulfilling for everyone
that walks the halls of Bernard Zell
each day to see how the new building is
already impacting the lives of our
students, and we look forward to many
more celebrations together.
