Honoring Dr. Charles H. ’75 & Rachel Korman Charles H. Korman is a lifelong member of Har Zion Temple. He graduated in 1975 from Akiba Hebrew Academy (now Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy), where he continues to be an active alumnus, a major donor, and board member. Charles offers invaluable oversight to the Development, Finance, and Strategic Planning Committees of the JBHA Board. From his earliest days in USY, JCRC Youth Council and Penn Hillel, Charlie has demonstrated his commitment and compassion to the Jewish community as he transitioned from business to medicine. Throughout his professional life, he has maintained that visionary focus. Today, in addition to supporting Barrack tirelessly, he is also a board member for Camp Ramah in the Poconos and a member of the medical leadership committee of Temple University Hospital Jeanes Campus. In addition, he serves on numerous other committees for Temple University Health System.

Born and raised in Wynnewood, Rachel Korman has always been strongly connected to Jewish life, learning, and education. She devotes both her personal and professional time to ensuring the continuity and vitality of our community. She earned a Bachelor of Arts with high honors in both Psychology and Elementary Education from Brandeis University. She then went on to pursue a Master’s degree in Education from Temple University. For eight summers, Rachel worked at Camp Ramah in the Poconos. In addition to raising a family, Rachel has been a General Studies teacher at Perelman Jewish Day School for the past three decades. There, she was instrumental in starting the Student Council as part of the Perelman Civics Education curriculum, and she continues to be the council’s advisor at the Forman Center, where she is also the Social Studies Coordinator.

To Our Amazing Barrack Community, On behalf of the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy PTO, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our school this year. It is such a blessing to be involved with this wonderful community. We are constantly in awe of the students, faculty, staff and the community as a whole. This past year has been devastating for Israel and the Jewish people as a whole, and knowing our community is here to support and strengthen us when it feels so hard now, is such a precious gift.

Our children are so fortunate to grow and thrive in a healthy, happy, safe, and kind school environment. We are grateful that our children’s academic rigor is infused with Jewish history, values, and a love of Israel which is more important now than ever.

With this solid foundation, our children gain experience and a priceless appreciation of Israeli and Jewish culture, not to mention the making of lifelong friends and connections.

A hearty Mazal Tov to honorees Charles H.’75 & Rachel Korman and Ted Deutch, our featured speaker. We are grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate and bring our community back together for many exciting programs this year. We thank parents, administration, teachers and staff for all of your support and dedication. We welcome all parents to become involved - don’t hesitate to get in touch! We strive for a continued vibrant and active community! Chazak Chazak V’nitchazek!!

Sincerely, Melinda Engel, Noa Hedaya, and Naomi Schachter
