Jewish Day Sch Paving the Way

2024 Swee Sound Sound Swee 2024

Jamie and Shoel Perelman are the proud parents of 2 sons who are currently students at The Rashi School in Dedham, MA. Originally from New York, they relocated in 2013, and have happily been

raising their family in the Boston area. Their journey with Gateways began when their eldest son began receiving support services while attending The Rashi School. The services and inclusive

environment, aided by the Gateways team, have been profoundly beneficial, allowing their son, along with his peers and teachers, to

Paving the Way Jewish Day Scho

grow and thrive. Jamie and Shoel believe that Gateways has been

instrumental in their son having the opportunity to flourish in the

day school setting they sought for their children. They are hopeful

that with Gateways by their side, more families will have the chance

Sweet So to experience the same positive impact.

“ With Gateways, we see the merge of kids who do and don’t need support come together and learn together, providing

Co-C Jamie & Shoel Perelma Yaffa Garber Tilles & Rabbi Ravid

everyone with opportunity.”

Gateways — both professionally and personally — especially because of Ravid’s work at Schechter and Avishai’s participation in the Gateways B’nei Mitzvah Program. They enjoy spending time at the beach, making music together as a family band, and

ounds 2024 hosting friends and family for Shabbat and holiday meals.

“ How lucky we are to be in a community where there are so

many choices for day schools, and we have an organization
