Dear Rabbi Rubenstein and Rabbi Semmel, As an educator you know the fundamental key to raising and educating children is chanoch l'naar al pi darco — every child has different needs. A technique that works with one child may not work with another. Similarly, a school that works for one child may not work for another. In smaller Jewish communities, having one school is sometimes the only option and parents have to make it work. However, we are not a small community and we have the people and the resources to demand what is best for each of our children. Everyone who has read this letter believes that you have our children's best interests in mind. By bringing another educational institution into our community, you are creating new local options — we will be able to choose which school is best for our individual children. Not only does this help strengthen and build our community, it will make us better parents. We would like to thank you for taking on this tremendous task. We wish you much hatzlacha in taking all the steps and overcoming the obstacles sure to come your way. But most importantly, we want to tell you that we are all behind you 100%, supporting this very important and much needed cause. Sincerely, Your Supporters
