The Schechter Guarantee

July 02, 2025
By Sandra Pensak, Lower School Advisor

In her remarks to the students and their families at the 5th grade siyum on June 18th, Mrs. Pensak offered some lifetime guarantees. Here is an excerpt from her speech.

Above all, our lifetime guarantee ensures that your Schechter education will extend beyond traditional academics and instill in each of you a deep connection to the Jewish people, pride in your heritage, and a deep understanding of Israel’s history and the confidence to stand up for your beliefs. I can guarantee that you will continue to be the well informed, outspoken, and caring community members that are graduating today. I am counting on you - or should I say guaranteeing that you will always be guided by Jewish values, derech eretz, chesed, mitzvot and prayer - and that you will make meaningful contributions to your community, and stand in solidarity with Israel.

I know – or rather, guarantee, that you will take everything you have learned at Schechter to achieve noble ends.
