Mazel Tov to all the honorees. You have all done such incredible work for FHDS and your contributions are greatly appreciated.

TO MIKEY AND ARIELLA,

To say that we are disappointed to see you leave is a tremendous understatement. How are we going to arrange the J/Sam and Abie/Marni shidduchim? If Aron is anything like you, we can keep Amal available too!

You guys have done so much for our community through Federation, Farber/Akiva, and Young Israel. None of those organizations will be the same without you.

The Southfield community will feel emptier without you.

Nesiah tovah and we wish you great success in your aliyah. I hope we all join you soon.

Mikey And Ariella

We knew the time would come. We were just unsure when it would come. But it has come. The time is now.

Mikey, Ariella, Aron, J, Abie, and Goldie, you are living your ultimate dream of making Aliyah and living in Israel.

Mikey, our other son, our additional brother. Ariella, a beautiful strong woman newly incorporated into our loving extended family. We are so proud of both of you and all you have accomplished here in Detroit. Your passion for education, Modern Orthodoxy, Zionism, and the greater Detroit Jewish Community are imbued within your identities. You give so much of your personal time and effort to ensure your vision becomes a reality for your children and your community.

We know you will bring those unwavering values and that fiery passion to your true home, in Israel. Mazel Tov on receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award from Farber Hebrew Day School - Yeshivat Akiva. We can’t think of a couple more deserving. We’ve heard your peers say “you bleed for Akiva” and it is nothing but a compliment. You do more than discuss ideas. You take action. You support. You are involved. You lead.

Always remember, family follows you anywhere.

Save us a bedroom. See you there! Love you and proud of you always, Allen & Andi

It’s the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.

You give generously in every way and you are a reflection of the best of Jewish values.

Your dedication benefiting Farber Hebrew Day School is much appreciated by all.

MOM AND DAD,

Congratulations on this well-deserved honor. Throughout our many years as students at Yeshivat Akiva, we have witnessed firsthand your hard work and dedication.

You have always been amongst the first to volunteer for most school activities, including mom’s tenure as PTO president.

It is the partnership of the many parent volunteers with the school staff and administration that has made our school a warm and loving place for all.

We can only hope that one day we will be able to give back to our school in a similar manner. We are so proud of you and are so appreciative of your commitment to charitable endeavors.

Love, Jacob, Josh, Joe and Jonny

Thank you to the entire Farber administration and staff, from the ECC through the high school.
