Sinai Schools held its annual campaign and benefit dinner on Sunday, February 23, at Teaneck’s Marriott Glenpointe Hotel. Avi and Aviva Vogel, Abigail Hepner Gross, and Bear Givers were honored that evening. Joseph Sprung, Michele Mirman, and Diane Lempert accepted the community partner award on behalf of the Bear Givers.
One of the evening’s highlights was the premiere of Sinai’s feature documentary, “Beautiful Boys,” which tells the story of two brothers, both Sinai students, each with his own unique strengths and challenges.

At the dinner, Sinai’s leadership announced plans to establish the Adir Academy, the first Jewish therapeutic day school in the United States for students with mental health challenges. Learn more about Adir Academy at sinaischools.adiracademy.org
