My work can be directly linked to what I learned at Gottesman RTW Academy, then Hebrew Academy, both in terms of why I chose to work to defend the human dignity of all people, and in terms of why I chose to do so as a lawyer. The name of the school may have changed but the essence is the same as when I graduated: rigorous academics that allow each child to reach their highest potential, coupled with joyful Judaism that connects those children to thousands of years of Jewish history and a love for Am Yisrael. ~ Rachel Wainer Apter, Associate Justice for the NJ Supreme Court, Class of 1994
Beyond providing me with a strong foundation in Jewish history and culture, GRTWA fostered an unparalleled love for my Jewish identity and Israel and equipped me with the confidence to stand up to antisemitism throughout my college career during particularly challenging times for Jewish and Israeli students on campus. ~ Jadyn M, Class of 2018
Every day that I walked into school at GRTWA, it didn’t feel like just a school; it was home. The closely-knit community, built around Judaic values, was an environment where I knew that I could be myself. ~ Jonah W, Class of 2024
