From the Head of School
Shabbat Shalom
Dear Yavneh Family,
 
Welcome Back! It's always exciting to start afresh following what I hope was a restful winter break for everyone.  With our batteries recharged, I've enjoyed seeing our students return to campus and pick up with their Judaic and General Studies, co-curricular activities, and community service. As we reflect on the many successes of our fall term, we look forward to an energized spring semester, and extend our appreciation for your support of Yavneh.
 
Shabbat Shalom, only good things in 2016, and Go Bulldogs!

Dr. P
 
It is not often that G-D rebukes Moshe; however Rashi believes that in the beginning of this week's Parsha we read of just such an occasion.  The Torah tells us "And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him: 'I am the LORD; and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name G-D, made Me not known to them." Rashi explains that G-D was lamenting the loss of our patriarchs. Each of them was faced with singular and devastating challenges yet none of them ever questioned G-D's existence. They each bore their challenge with unquestioned faith and trust and never asked Me what my name is. Yet, G-D complains, when I appeared to you, immediately you asked Me 
what My name is.
