To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Yeshivat Noam tasked us with telling their origin story. The school was founded by a group of visionaries who saw a need in the community and acted; it grew into the great school it is today thanks to the leadership of its founding principal, Rabbi Chaim Hagler—and the many dedicated parents and volunteers who have contributed to its success over the years. As a former Yeshivat Noam parent, it was a labor of love to create this film and the short companion pieces that complement it, particularly as it was done in partnership with my son Max, who was in Yeshivat Noam’s third graduating class.
