Dear Kehillah,
On Sunday, September 15, we announced important changes to better align our messaging with the essence of who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Both our mission and name have been revised to more accurately reflect Kehillah as a unique school—distinctly Jewish and purposefully pluralistic.
Change, though exciting, can also be daunting. It opens doors to growth and new opportunities, while stirring fears of what might be lost. It's natural to feel uncertain, especially in challenging times. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov reminds us that "beginnings require that you unlock new doors," urging us to acknowledge the difficulties of change while embracing its potential. Maya Angelou also captures this sentiment: "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty." By embracing change, we allow ourselves to evolve, uncovering new strengths to build a brighter, more fulfilling tomorrow.
The key to unlocking these new doors and welcoming new families to Kehillah lies in believing. Believing that we will always be Kehillah. Believing that every step we take is to create the best high school experience for our students. Believing that we can and will honor our past as we confidently move toward our bright future.
Whether you are feeling excited, worried, or somewhere in between, rest assured, we will continue to care for one another with respect and traverse this time together.
