Report from the | Director of Education
Jubilee year saw the school make considerable
progress on several fronts. We celebrated our Jubilee with
a range of events, and ‘branded’ it with a colourful
‘Jubilee logo’. We initiated a thorough overhaul of our
recruitment and promotional literature and website – the
fruits of which were visible in the fall. We boosted our
communications and marketing team. Most importantly
of all, we launched our ‘Together’ Capital Campaign to
address the urgent needs of the Wallenberg Campus.
All of these initiatives reflect our awareness that, as an
independent school, we live in an increasingly competitive world. We are determined to ensure that as a school
we are well positioned and equipped to meet the diverse
challenges of the coming decade.
And it is the word ‘diverse’ which reflects very well not
only the challenges we face, but the qualities and talents
we can bring to those challenges. Our new marketing
strategy puts our students front and centre. In six
radically different ways they proclaim “I am TanenbaumCHAT ” – and each say that with the ability to identify
their own area of interest and school commitment with
the school as a whole. We continued to provide an
impressive cohort of students with their ‘unique
springboard for life’.
During this year we saw several very much-loved and
much-respected colleagues move into retirement.
Among them, Lil Fox (TCW) had been a powerhouse of
stability, contradictory as it sounds, for years – a source
of wisdom and good sense to students, staff and
administration alike. Ray Buchowski (TCK) had been
instrumental in setting up and organizing the
professional structure at TCK, and in his quiet and
effective way left his imprint on the school. Eli Honig
served as our resident ‘tzaddik’ for decades, and also as
a truly inspirational Physics teacher. Pesia Signer had
contributed years of dedicated teaching to the Ivrit
department. We wish them all long, active and healthy
retirements.
As we moved into our Jubilee, we saw new trends
emerging in our student and parent body. The number
of parents who are themselves Alumni increases slowly
but surely year by year (currently about 15 percent
of intake). We continue to grapple with the digital
revolution. Israel continues to be central to our school
life and values. In both campuses, our music programs
steadily grow as integral parts of school life. Our
students continue to be wonderful and selfless young
people, whose capacity to impress and surprise does
not fade. At the end of the year, our retention rate
school wide hit a record at just under 95 percent.
Finally, our leadership – lay and professional –
constitute a united team who work constantly on behalf
of the school. In January 2010, school president Judy
Engel handed over office to Cecile Zaifman. Judy was
a wonderful, energetic and fully committed president
and we thank her for her efforts. We also welcomed
Les Fluxgold as the chair of the Board of Directors.
My colleagues Rhona Birenbaum, Sam Kapustin,
Helen Fox, Jonathan Levy and Frances Bigman are
all exemplary professionals whose leadership of the
school enables it to run smoothly and calmly. My
indispensable right hand, Harriet Israel, ensures that
I run smoothly and calmly. I thank them all.

Report from the | President
past year has been an exceptionally
busy and exciting time for our school – celebrating
our past while planning for our future. We have
just completed our year of wonderful Jubilee
celebrations marking 50 years of success for
TanenbaumCHAT. Looking to the future, we are
embarking on one of our most ambitious
projects to date – the much needed expansion
and refurbishment of the Wallenberg campus.
Ultimately, a school’s reputation is built upon the
success of its students. We currently have 1,400
students living the TanenbaumCHAT Experience as
well as approximately 6,100 alumni. Our graduates
live throughout the world pursuing their passions
and dreams. They find success and become
leaders on university campuses, proud Zionists
who study and volunteer in Israel, and successful
adults in their career pursuits.
We know that the entire TanenbaumCHAT Experience
– comprised of so many enriching experiences
including Shabbatons, ethical and moral debates
in Rabbinics classes, sports teams, student
council, tzedakah projects, peer counseling, and
advocacy – prepares our students for whatever
challenges their futures hold.
We are so privileged as a school to play a role in
educating the future leaders of our community.
There are many individuals who are responsible
for delivering the TanenbaumCHAT Experience.
Our dedicated administration and staff are
committed to ensuring that each student achieves
success. They teach, mentor and inspire our
students in an environment based on Jewish
values and ethics. Our Board of Directors and lay
leadership work tirelessly to guide the strategic
direction of our school for the future ahead.
I Am
Leadership
So, as we celebrate the past 50 years, and look
forward to the next 50, the future of our community shines brightly given the long-standing
commitment of our TanenbaumCHAT families to
educational excellence and Jewish values.

Report from the | Director of Jewish Studies
I Am
JewishEducation
When you watch the television wrap-up of
a sporting event, they always have a play
of the game, usually the turning point –
the difference between winning and losing.
In education, it is rarely so clear cut. The
teacher prepares the daily lesson and delivers
it to the class. Conscious of the latest
educational technology and methodology,
the teacher more often than not has most
of the class engaged. At TanenbaumCHAT,
student participation is high, and the
teachers’ assessment for true learning
yields positive results. In short – good
things are happening in the class.
Sometimes, when the stars are in their
proper alignment or, more probably, when
the teacher’s expertise and experience
blend together in that unique, meaningful
way, magic seems to transpire. I call it “the
pin-drop moment;” that is, that brief period
when one can almost hear a pin drop, when
students are really with you, and when
everything else, even university entrance, is
outside those four walls, distant and, for the
moment, irrelevant.
I do not know exactly how often that
metaphorical pin could be heard to drop in
TanenbaumCHAT classes, whether in Jewish
or General Studies. Yet, I do know that it
occurs: from the spring in the teacher’s step
walking down the hall, or from the innocent,
spontaneous and surprised exclamation of
“Boy, that was a great class!” as students
leave the room.
In Jewish Studies, it may result from any
number of things: the realization that the
Bible really has something to say to a 21st
century teenager, or that the halakha has an
internal ethic that could actually solve
some of today’s problems, or that maybe
the Nobel Committee was justified in giving
Agnon that prize, or, finally, that, although
I might not agree with those crazy Jews in
the First Aliyah, going to that barren and
isolated land might have made some sense
after all.
How often it happens may be in doubt, but
that it happens is not. That’s what makes
learning and working at TanenbaumCHAT
so worthwhile, day-in and day-out. You’ll
never know when the pin might be heard.

When we walked onto the Wallenberg Campus in
September, it looked amazing! Over the summer every
classroom, hallway, corner and cupboard received a
fresh coat of paint featuring a brand new colour scheme,
lockers were removed to open up hallways, and
“relaxation spaces” were created for students and staff.
As I reflect upon the last school year, I am ever
conscious and appreciative of what a remarkable school
TanenbaumCHAT is. This is a school with an exceptional
appreciation not just in academics, but in the arts,
athletics and informal education as our students
continue to astonish us in so many ways.
We have a reputation for being high academic achievers
and the 418 students honoured at this year’s Celebration
of Academic Excellence represent 77 percent of our
current Grade 10’s, 11’s, and 12’s. We have placed in the
top five in many provincial, national and international
contests including the International Bible contest in
Israel, the Weizmann Safe Competition in Physics, the
University of Waterloo math and physics contests and
Model UN.
We have, at last count, twenty three sports teams. Over
70 percent of the student body participates in varsity
and intramural sports. TCW had a very successful
season in boys basketball, girls field hockey, co-ed
snowboarding and track and field, and we competed
against other schools across Ontario in OFSAA girl’s
hockey, snowboarding, skiing and cross-country.
The arts syllabus at TCW is engaging both inside and
outside the classroom. We established a new music
program which enabled students from all grade levels
to discover their talents in both formal and informal
settings. We hosted our first Music Night and as usual,
our annual Arts Night was a great success. Our student
productions of “A Chorus Line,” “Yentel” (the Ivrit play)
and the more dramatic repertoire “Death” gave TCW a
taste of Broadway.
With passion and enthusiasm students were engaged
in a range of many extra-curricular pursuits including
student and athletic councils, Shabbatons, fundraisers,
Dance Fashion Show, Talent Show, and numerous clubs
and committees including WYN, Peer Counselors,
DECA, Year Book Committee, The Fireside Chat (our
school newspaper) and the Shofar – the weekly
D’var Torah. Our greatest collective strength is our
commitment to tikkun olam through fun-filled fund
raising events like “Think Pink” “Japan Relief” “United
Way Week” and “Movember.”
During their four years at TCW, our students foster new
friendships, build leadership skills, develop trusting
relationships, learn to work independently and as part
of a team and grow into outstanding problem solvers.
At TanenbaumCHAT we see examples everyday of their
ability to accept new challenges, set goals a little higher
and use their efforts for a variety of pursuits.

Report from the | TCK Principal
often receive visitors to our campus, eager
to learn about our school. Recently, a visiting rabbi,
after finishing our walk-about, approached a couple of
students who were waiting outside to get picked up
from a team practice. The conversation went like this:
Rabbi:
Rabbi:
Rabbi:
Rabbi:
Rabbi:
Why are you here so late?
Basketball practice.
Do you always have such long days?
Day isn’t over. Now I go home and start
my homework.
How many classes do you have?
I take 10 this year.
Plus practices?
Yup.
Do you like it here?
(with big grin) I love it here.
At this point the rabbi turned to me and said “I actually
think she is telling the truth!”
2010/2011 was a reflection of this conversation in every
way. When I think of the TanenbaumCHAT Experience,
I think no further than the students who are immersed
in their studies, find the time to participate in the
myriad of extra-curricular programming and, at the end
of the day, are genuinely happy.

While providing a challenging and stimulating environment for academic growth, we initiated new forums
in which our students could shine. Our inaugural
Arts Café was an evening dedicated to the Arts that
attracted hundreds to see our dancers, singers,
actors, artists and technicians. The Dance-Talent show
highlighted the best of our students’ many abilities.
Approximately 50 percent of our students, a huge
number, participated on one or more of our 20 athletic
teams.
For the second year running, we represented Canada
at the Shalhevet Freier Physics Tournament in Israel
and, also for the second year, we were victorious in
the York Region Mock Trial competition. But of all
the accomplishments perhaps none stands out as
much as the 280 students who were honoured at our
Academic Awards Evening, with over 800 people
packed into our gymnasium. Our students will certainly
be making their mark on the future.

Report from the | CFO/Executive Director

In February 2010, TanenbaumCHAT’s
Budget and Finance committee
set a tuition fee of $20,100 including
a capital levy of $800.00 for the
2010 /11 school year. For the year
ending June 30, 2011, the school
met this target, showing a surplus
of $480,000 representing 2% of
revenues. Although a drop in enrolment of 7.5% had been predicted,
the school experienced an unexpectedly high retention rate of 93%, a 3%
improvement over the prior year.
This resulted in total enrolment only
3% lower (42 fewer students) than
2010.

Through a generous gift from Sharon
Finkelstein and Howie Meyer, a
music studio was built during the
summer of 2010. Like the Meyer /
Finkelstein Music Studio at the
Kimel Family Education Centre, the
Wallenberg Music Studio was
outfitted with three virtual reality
practice rooms. These rehearsal and
recording spaces have the capability
of simulating the sonic characteristics of performance venues such as
a concert hall, high-ceiling chapel or
sports arena.
Also that summer, the fitness studio
was relocated and enlarged. Airconditioning units were installed in
windows of classrooms formerly
without cooling.

Through a consultative process with
the Science department heads,
plans for the new science wing
continued to take shape. By March
2011 the drawings were at 75%
completion and the cost of construction was estimated at $7.5 million.
Adjoining the northwest side of the
gymnasium, the new facilities will
include five state-of-the-art labs that
open onto green space, a science
prep room, meeting and storage
areas, new lockers, new washrooms,
a green house, interior courtyard
and outdoor gardens.

Distinguished rabbis visit TanenbaumCHAT
Students and faculty
at both campuses
were fortunate
to hear from two
extraordinary
visitors
TanenbaumCHAT was honoured to host Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman as the Ronald
and Aviva Heller Memorial Lecturer for 2011. Rabbi Hartman is president of the
Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, one of the foremost ‘think tanks’ on issues
of Jewish thought, Jewish values and the contemporary world.
Rabbi Dr. Hartman spoke to a large public audience on the evening of November
11 on the topic of “The Future of Judaism?” where he outlined trends in the nature
of Jewish belief as he saw them developing in different sections of the Jewish world.
On the following day he addressed TanenbaumCHAT Grade 12 students on both
campuses on the debate in Israel over the Gilad Shalit ‘deal’, and how that reflected
basic values in Israeli society. He also engaged in a dialogue with faculty at a
lunchtime session.
Rabbi Hartman’s talks were provocative and original. The Ronald and Aviva Heller
Memorial Lecture – endowed in memory of two wonderful individuals associated
with the school in lay and professional leadership roles – is designed to stimulate
and inform thinking within the school community on issues of concern and
significance in contemporary Jewish life.
Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks is a very eminent public personality in Britain,
regarded as one of the country’s most popular and most authoritative voices on all
matters of ethics, morality and belief. He has been chief rabbi of the United Hebrew
Congregations of the Commonwealth since September 1991, the sixth incumbent
since the role was formalized in 1845. He has written over twenty books, including
a Siddur and a Rosh Hashana machzor with new translations and commentary.
Accompanied by Lady Sacks, Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks addressed Grade
12 students at both campuses. Our students found his presence impressive. He
spoke about the fact that even in a world in which the symbolic seven billionth
human had been born, it was still possible for the individual to make a difference.
His latest book discusses the differences between science and religion (science –
he told the students –takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things
together to see what they mean). Lively questions and answers followed, not
without some feisty challenges (and, it must be said, feisty response). At both
campuses, students were most excited to hear that he attended Prince William and
Kate Middleton’s wedding.

In beloved memory of
In beloved memory of
Shimon & Clara Berglas z”l
Barbara Manilla z”l
David E. Buck z”l was a unique and successful businessman.
He and his brothers Roel and Adam, z”l, joined the automotive
business their father began and grew it successfully until they
sold it in 1987. His business gave him enjoyment and the means
to provide for others, his family and the community. His many
other passions included gardening, skiing, fly fishing, tennis and
the study of Torah.
Shimon and Clara Berglas z”l
were survivors of the
Holocaust. Shimon, one of
eight children, was born in
1920 in Debrecen, Hungary,
and moved to Czechoslovakia
at an early age, where he
lived until captured by the
Nazis. He was ultimately
liberated from Sachsenhausen
concentration camp. Clara,
one of six children, was born
in 1924 in Cop, Czechoslovakia,
and lived there until taken to
Auschwitz in 1944. She was
miraculously rescued from
within a gas chamber on
Tisha B’Av in 1944 when
there was a call for a work
detail. Clara was ultimately
liberated from a sub-camp
of Dachau following a death
march.
There were many wonderful lessons David taught those around him:
Value all men but none to much. Stay humble. Always be grateful and
never feel entitled. Proactively look for ways to be charitable. Enrich the
lives of others and that in turn will enrich yours. Never do anything with
an expectation of something in return. Live ethically. Surround yourself
with the best people. Never hold a grudge. Hate only consumes you.
Think and act independently. Perform random acts of kindness. Love fully
and unconditionally.
David modeled philanthropy and community responsibility. He loved
Israel, Judaism and Canada. He quietly and generously supported many
causes with his time and money. He believed it was a privilege to give
and he loved to do so.
David loved his garden and it was a primary source of his teachings. He
used to say that our lives, minds, vocations, avocations and marriages
are all like gardens; if you don’t take care of them, weeds will grow.
He also loved people and made each one feel special by being genuinely
interested in them and learning from them.
There are only two types of people in this world; those who loved David
Buck and those who didn’t know him.
The Business Studies Award in memory of David E. Buck will be awarded annually at
the Wallenberg Campus Graduation.

After the war, Shimon lived in
Belgium, where he learned French,
and Clara lived in Austria where
she perfected her German. Shimon
later moved to Montreal and
Clara to New York. Following their
marriage, they made their home
in Montreal until 2006, when they
moved to Thornhill. Between the
two of them, they were proficient
in six languages.
Shimon passed away in November
2009 and Clara in January 2011.
They were deeply religious people,
family and community oriented,
and considered Jewish and secular
education to be of paramount
value. Their two children and
twelve grandchildren include
TanenbaumCHAT graduates from
the Class of 2009, 2010, 2011
and two upcoming graduates from
the Class of 2012.
In their memory, and as a tribute
to the manner in which they rebuilt
their lives, their children and
grandchildren have established
the Shimon and Clara Berglas
Memorial Endowment Fund to
name the English as a Second
Language Award at the annual
Kimel Family Education Centre
Graduation.
During her childhood years, Barbara Manilla z”l attended Associated
Hebrew Schools and she continued her Jewish education at CHAT.
While Barbara was studying kinesiology at CHAT, she discovered that
she wanted to pursue a career in nutrition. Barbara graduated in
2003 and that same year, experienced Israel for the first time on
Birthright, which would leave a lasting impression.
Barbara graduated from Ryerson University with a bachelor’s of Applied
Science in Nutrition and Food and annually won awards for her academic
achievements. She then received her master’s in Applied Nutrition from the
University of Guelph.
From the fall of 2008, Barbara worked as a registered dietician at the North
York Family Health Team. According to her co-workers and colleagues,
Barbara‘s passion for her work and her patients was unmistakable. On
numerous occasions, Barbara‘s physicians received glowing comments from
patients on Barbara‘s care, warmth, intelligence and compassion. She
had a passion for nutrition and the field of dietetics that translated into an
abundance of imaginative and forward thinking ideas. In addition, she was
a tremendously gifted cook and baker. Physical fitness was also a priority
and she exercised regularly.
In July 2010, at a time when her life seemed so full of promise, Barbara
tragically and suddenly passed away.
Barbara is remembered by her family and friends as an upbeat, confident,
accomplished, devoted, caring, sensitive, respected, outgoing and intelligent
young woman. She had an infectious energy that could light up a room.
In response to the outpouring of sympathy and words of consolation from
TanenbaumCHAT faculty members and Barbara‘s former classmates, her
parents Lawrie ‘71 and Carol and her sister Sarah ‘00 have established the
Barbara Manilla Memorial Endowment Fund as a lasting tribute to Barbara
at TanenbaumCHAT. The Barbara Manilla Memorial Endowment Fund will
fund the Kinesiology Award at the annual Wallenberg Campus Graduation.
