Visit www.hac1.org/raffle to participate or email us at info@hac1.org.

Enter for a chance to win $10,000 while supporting Cleveland’s first and largest Jewish day school.

Hebrew Academy of Cleveland was established in 1943 by survivors of the Holocaust and has educated well over 7,000 students throughout our existence. We are currently in our 74th year of existence with an unprecedented enrollment of close to 1,100 students.

The excellent education provided at the Academy is costly – the average cost per child is $10,000 – and over 75% of our students receive some form of scholarship. However, the longstanding policy of the Hebrew Academy has been to educate all children regardless of background and financial ability.

Please join us in supporting this most worthwhile communal institution with your participation in the Hebrew Academy’s raffle.

Raffle Drawing Date: March 19th at the HAC Dinner.

Baruch Dayan Ha’Emes – Esther Offer, ob”m

4 Comments

Esther Offer very recently celebrated her 94th birthday. A survivor of the Nazi death camps. From the ashes of that destruction she crafted a new life and knew the joy of her great-grandchildren. She was a determined and at times defiant woman who made her way through all the challenges and tribulations of life with grace, dignity and devotion. An inspired and blessed life.

She is survived by children: Shlomo (Suzanne) Offer, Zvi (Harvey) Ofer, Miriam (Gerry) Engelhart. Grandchildren: David (Ora), Rafi (Stacey), Adam (Odeya), Yael, Talya and Jordana. Great-grandchildren: Aviya, Natan, Noam, Naava and Gilad.
