The Netivot HaTorah alumni reunion took place in Toronto on February 22nd at the school. Over 150 alumni and staff attended the event, which was organized in honour of the 25th year of Netivot. The group enjoyed watching slide shows featuring old pictures of alumni and past events and browsed through old yearbooks and class pictures which were set up over the room. Dr. Stern and Rabbi Diamond addressed the group, followed by remarks by Adin Koschitzky, an alumni and son of a past president of Netivot. A highlight of the night was a raffle with a variety of prizes. Attendees were encouraged to visit the top floor of the school which had been transformed by beautiful artwork in honour of Rosh Chodesh Adar. We all got together for a group photo followed by individual class photos. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and most importantly catching up with old friends, classmates and teachers. We look forward to the next reunion!

The Netivot reunion for alumni in Israel took place on February 6th at the stunning biblical landscape reserve Neot Kedumim. Over 100 alumni and their families attended the event which began with a informative and interactive tour of the reserve. Following the tour, the group was addressed by Shauna Tepperman, a past president of Netivot, Leora Kesten and Shoshana Winter, both alumni and children of past Netivot presidents. In honour of Tu Bishvat, and Netivot's 25th anniversary, the the students of Netivot and their families planted 25 trees atop one of the many hills on the reserve. The morning activities were followed by a buffet of delicious snacks and a sing-a-long with Mrs. Balofsky! The day was filled with laughter, happiness and memories, and we look forward to another reunion soon!
