Rabbi Schneier established The Park East School in 1976. It later merged with East Side Hebrew Institute to provide an unparalleled Jewish Day School experience with intimate classes, cutting edge technology resources, and a well-rounded curriculum.
With 350 students, 67 faculty members and ranking in the top one percent in the American Mathematics competitions, the school has shown a tremendous level of success throughout it’s distinguished academic history.
“Insitutions like these not only provide a superior religious and cultural education for Jewish children, but a superior academic experience few schools can match,” says renowned New York developer Elie Hirschfeld, whose youngest child attends the school now, and older children attended the school as well.”
The black tie gathering will commence with a reception at 6 p.m. at the Waldorf with a dinner to follow at 7:30.
