Surprised? You might have assumed that I consumed mass amounts of alcohol during my Purim experience. On the contrary, I received my ecstasy through means of a different substance- a substance that cannot be synthesized by getting drunk or high. The substance that I am referring to is actually true happiness in its purest form. And yes, just to be as clear as possible, it was achieved without consuming any chemically altering substances.

Seventy years is a major milestone for Bais Chinuch HaRav Dessler, the Hebrew Academy of Cleveland, according to education director Rabbi Simcha Dessler.
“Our founding fathers, the spiritual giants and visionary lay leaders dared to dream when they established the Academy on the ashes of the Holocaust 70 years ago,” Dessler said. “They could not have possibly imagined the profound impact and ripple effect it would have on future generations. Today, day schools across the globe in all denominations and representing the widest spectrum of Judaism are no longer a dream. They are a reality.”
