Bar Mitzvah Mazel Tovs

In the past few months I have been blessed to celebrate the Bar Mitzvot of my nephew and my son. My nephew, Dovid Shmuel Weisman is the son of Aaron Weisman (NEAT class of '83) and himself a student at the Providence Hebrew Day School.

Both boys did outstanding jobs.

It with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Rav Lipman Podolsky zt"l on the 20th of Iyar, 5767. Rav Podolsky, a.k.a. Lee, was one of our own and one of our best.

Rav Podolsky was an outstanding talmid chacham, a gentleman and an inspirational to everyone who knew him. He was a musician and a songwriter.

We send our condolences to his children, parents and siblings. T'hei nishmoso tzrurah bitzror hachayim.

Very Interesting Article

There was a very interesting article in the January 19th issue of the Rhode Island Jewish Voice & Herald – “Hebrew Day Hit Hard.” As the Island Jewish Voice & Herald is currently building their web site, the article is not available online. However, they did give me permission to email the article directly to you – my fellow alumna. So, if you would like to read it, just shoot me an email - roy@strunin.com and I will reply with the attachment.

Mazel Tov

A Mazel Tov goes out to Reuben Rutman (see posting below) and his wife Dawn, on the birth of a baby girl last month!

I have no recollection of the school looking like it does today. I guess those decades are adding up!
Go NEAT Knights!

A Visual Aid

For those of you who forgot what the school looks like, or those of you who have not seen the building in a long time.... here it is.

Thanks for setting this up Roy!

Great idea! I hope people will take advantage of it. It's a nice way to keep people informed and maybe even get reacquainted with an old friend, especially where we don't have any reunions (or at least none to which I've been invited! ;-)

By the way, everyone out there, it really is easy to create a Google account.

First of the Year

Welcome 0-0-7! I know there are many of you out there lurking. Now is the time to post. Just post a quick not to say hi.

Also, if you have email addresses of other contacts from NEAT, please send them directly to me so I can send them an invite.

Thanks and happy secular New Year.

Cheers,
Roy (your BlogMaster)
