MEET OUR ALUMNI
Adam Beckman, Class of 2008
"Everything I do is influenced by Rashi. Rashi created who I am as a person, and that's with me every day."
Adina Jick, Class of 2006
"Rashi was my home. When I started high school, it was the first time I was in classes with people I had not grown up with, and I realized that at Rashi my classmates and I all shared similar values."
Zander Sebenius, Class of 2004
"Rashi helped create my Jewish identity, which is one of the most important driving forces in my life." Zander Sebenius has been strongly committed to Israel and to making the world a better place since his days at Rashi. As a high school student at Buckingham Browne & Nichols, he was president of the Jewish Cultural Society and worked to promote peace in the Middle East by teaming with a Muslim classmate to sell T-shirts made by Palestinians at a unionized factory in Bethlehem.
Noah Hodgetts, Class of 2002
“Rashi will forever have a very special place in my heart. Without the social justice education rooted in Jewish values that I received at Rashi, I would not be living a life dedicated to repairing the world and social justice today!”
Aviva Rosman, Class of 2002
"I still remember sitting in Stephanie Rotsky's second grade class and learning about Tzedakah Heroes. Stephanie taught us that anyone at any age has the ability to take part in the fight for social justice. I remember how nervous I was the first time I called Hebrew Rehab to ask about volunteering with the residents!"
Matt Bonder, Class of 1999
"Rashi taught me the importance of forming relationships with people, and I try to do that as much as I can." Now a Senior Financial Analyst with Dunkin' Brands with a focus on the Baskin Robbins division, Matt Bonder has maintained a strong relationship with The Rashi School and his classmates in the years since he graduated.
Adam Miller, Class of 1999
Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World). Community. Justice. Learning.
"These are values that drive my short- and long-term decision making. These are long-standing Jewish values. For many Jews and non-Jews alike, it takes a lifetime to learn the importance of having guiding principles like these. My Rashi classmates and I came out of the gate with a major head start. We already knew about some of the most important things in life."
