2 | Amos and Celia Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School

Dear Heilicher Community,Welcome to the 2020 Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School Annual Benefit. Thank you all for joining us this evening as we honor Heilicher parents and community leaders Nancy and Neil Fink and celebrate the school’s 36th year. The Finks truly exemplify Heilicher’s core values, demonstrating tremendous commitment and leadership at the school and in the broader Jewish community.

Heilicher has grown and flourished over the past three and a half decades. Our school’s founders, some of whom are in the room this evening, should be so proud of their bold vision for a Jewish day school in Minneapolis. Since our very first years as a tenant in the former Minneapolis Talmud Torah building, generations of “MJDS-now-Heilicher” students have learned, grown, and thrived under the guidance of our exceptional faculty. Our students pursue academic excellence within a foundation of Jewish core values, establishing themselves as lifelong learners and future leaders. Thank you all for being part of our journey!

We want to extend our thanks to our 100+ corporate and community sponsors, and to our dedicated team of volunteers who worked tirelessly to make this evening so beautiful. And, we offer our special appreciation to Benefit Manager Ali Berdass, whose amazing work truly made this event possible.

Thank you for supporting Heilicher and for helping us celebrate 36 years of Jewish day school education.

Wendy Lovell-Smith Yoni Binus President, Board of Trustees Head of School

Nancy & Neil Fink2020 NER TAMID AWARD RECIPIENTSWhen Nancy and Neil Fink toured Heilicher as prospective parents eight years ago, they were impressed by the poise of their seventh-grade tour guide and how older students greeted much younger students by name in the hallways. This was their first glimpse of the values, skills, and foundation Heilicher would provide for their children.

A few years after enrolling at Heilicher, on a trip to Israel, the couple were in awe of how much their children Josh and Ellie (then entering fifth and second grades) already knew. “It was remarkable for us to see their Jewish foundations ‘in action’ when we were there,” Neil recalled. “Even now, we can see their strong Jewish identities developing through their joy in celebrating Jewish holidays and traditions, and in the lessons that they teach us as parents every day.”

Neil and Nancy are being honored tonight with the Ner Tamid Award. This award recognizes their significant contributions to building and strengthening Jewish Education. Their parents, Randy and Anne Klein, Marilyn Sudit, and Bruce Fink and Caren Page serve as the honorary co-chairs.

The Finks are active volunteers at Heilicher and throughout the greater Jewish community. Neil and Nancy both serve on the Advancement Leadership Council at Heilicher, and Neil serves on the Finance Committee. Neil is on the boards of the Sholom Foundation and Herzl Camp, and is president-elect of the Herzl Camp board. Nancy is on the board of Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Minneapolis. Their son Josh is now a seventh grader, daughter Ellie is a fourth grader, and daughter Rachel will start Kindergarten at Heilicher next year.

Bruce Fink is past president of the St. Paul JCC and an active member at Temple of Aaron. He served for many years on the Herzl Camp board. Caren Page, who previously worked in the Jewish community in Birmingham, Alabama, has also been an active volunteer with Herzl Camp and the JCCs and has chaired several of their annual events. Marilyn Sudit is a past president of Temple of Aaron Sisterhood and also served as president of Adath Jeshurun Women’s League. Randy and Anne Klein are active members with Congregation Agudas Achim Chabad in Mequon, Wisc.

Neil and Nancy credit their parents with teaching them the importance of community involvement. “We are humbled by this honor,” Nancy said. “It is so meaningful to us that our parents, who have served as our exemplary role models for community involvement, will be honorary co-chairs.”

“The Fink family embodies commitment, kindness, and engagement — virtues that keep the Twin Cities Jewish community strong and vibrant,” said Head of School Yoni Binus. “Heilicher is honored to count Neil and Nancy among its parents and its leaders. We are grateful to have this opportunity to publicly express our gratitude and admiration for their generosity and volunteerism throughout the years.”

“Heilicher has been a significant and wonderful part of our lives over the last eight years, and we are committed to ensuring that it will remain strong and vibrant for future generations,” Neil said.

The Fink family.

2020 ANNUAL BENEFIT | 25

This year, our Fund-a-Need appeal will support financial assistance. Heilicher is deeply committed to financial accessibility. We believe that the value of a Jewish day school education should be a benefit that is available to any Jewish child, regardless of their family’s financial position. We know, however, that many families struggle to afford a Jewish day school education, and some choose not to explore Heilicher due to concerns about cost.

Many Heilicher families rely on financial assistance to make the Jewish day school experience affordable. For the 2019-20 school year, approximately 54% of students received tuition support. These dollars are allocated thoughtfully, based on a comprehensive review of each family’s financial situation, including data from a third-party scholarship service.

Our goal is to open our doors to any Jewish student who desires the extraordinary educational experience available at the Heilicher Minneapolis Jewish Day School. A gift to tonight’s Fund-a-Need is truly the gift of a Jewish future.

FUND-A-NEED

“We are grateful for the tuition assistance that made our attendance at Heilicher possible. Our children would not be the strong and confident learners they are today without the generosity of the whole community behind us. Thank you, Heilicher!”

—GRATEFUL PARENT
