February was a busy month for BT alumni, with BT grads living in New York or studying at University of Maryland, College Park reuniting with friends and school faculty! Talia’s Steakhouse on the Upper West Side was completely packed with alums of all graduation years who enjoyed catching up with Rabbi Mitchell Wohlberg, Mrs. Zipora Schorr, Rabbi Yehuda Oratz, and Mrs. Cherie Brownstein. Ari Lesser ’07 shared why he supports the Alumni Campaign, which inspired nearly 100 percent of the reunion attendees to make their own campaign gifts. It was a beautiful evening full of laughs, mingling, and delicious food.
Down in College Park, the UMD Hillel hosted close to 25 alums for the annual BT reunion. Our graduates were excited to hang out and enjoy Chinese food from David Chu’s while catching up with Rabbi Oratz and Morah Sara Lanner. Mrs. Schorr and Rabbi Jonathan Gross also attending the event, where Mrs. Schorr schmoozed with her “kids,” updating them on all the latest BT news.
Finally, February 24th was Warrior Day, when 210 BT alumni showed their Warrior Pride by making gifts to the Alumni Campaign. Their generosity will help sustain BT’s competitive athletics program and creative arts program, as well as supporting the scholarship fund which enables nearly 50 percent of our students to benefit from a BT education. Thank you to all the alumni who participated. Congratulations to Cheryl Pruce '04 and Spencer Kronthal ‘14, winners of the ticket raffle for SPOTLIGHT 2016 Celebrates Israel with The Idan Raichel Project!
