Dear Friends,
Thank you for joining with us this evening as we honor Howard and Ronit Treatman and celebrate our school, our community, and our connection to one another. Howard and Ronit have been influential leaders in both the Barrack and broader community for many years and in a variety of roles; we are thrilled to have the opportunity to say thank you to them for the significant contributions they have made in service of the Jewish people.
The theme of this year ’s gala is דחא םע/Am Echad - One Nation, One People. We span generations and locations We converse in English, Hebrew, and multiple other languages We reside in Philadelphia, Tel Aviv, and across the globe. We are all part of something bigger than ourselves a worldwide Jewish community. Heightened by the events on and since October 7, 2023, the importance of our interconnectedness, and its possibilities, have become much clearer. The potential impact of our actions when we work together, support one another, and build together for a strong and shared Jewish future, is immense.
Howard and Ronit have understood and lived these ideas for decades Guided by proud Jewish identities and a commitment to using their talents to strengthen the Jewish community, they have been involved in leadership roles at Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, Germantown Jewish Center, Reconectar, the American Jewish Committee, and other organizations, and have passed on those values to their own children. They have also inspired the many volunteers and professionals they work alongside through their dedication of time, their remarkable work ethic, and their wisdom

My heart is in the east, and I am at the edge of the west Rabbi Yehuda Halevi (11th/12th century)
Residing in Philadelphia and with deep and personal connections to Israel, Howard and Ronit walk in multiple worlds. They are committed to ensuring a Jewish future that is bright, vibrant, safe, and full of meaning in Bryn Mawr, in Jerusalem, and all throughout the world
Thank you, Howard and Ronit, for your ongoing dedication to Barrack Hebrew Academy and to the Jewish people worldwide Your leadership, generosity, and vision are an inspiration and a model of what service to something greater than ourselves can achieve

To JBHA students, alumni, parents, faculty, and friends, Howard and Ronit Treatman exemplify the principle that we must care for our fellow Jews. It is so much part of their selves that they don't have to think about it, they just do it.
Their longstanding support of our school has helped to assure the education of their own children and of every Jewish child
They work for the safety of our Jewish brothers and sisters here, in Israel, and in the world.
They join in Jewish community with their neighbors and with Jews worldwide.
They inspire us to educate, protect, and join with fellow Jews by their words, their generosity, and their diligence.
Thank you so much for joining us in honoring Ronit and Howard this evening.
