HHNE Graduation & Award Presentation
Rabbi Daniel Lowe, principal of the Hebrew High School of New England, presented the first Avi Lapidus Memorial Award last night during the graduation exercises.
"The Avi Lapidus Memorial Award recognizes a student who has demonstrated a passion for both Judaic Studies and Technology."
The recipient was Tyler Berenson. Click on the link to read Tyler's March 2006 eulogy for Avi.
Rabbi Lowe in introducing the new award noted that it has only been sixteen months since Avi's death and that the school remains deeply affected.
When his name was announced as the winner, I could see that Tyler shed a tear in sadness for Avi and in humility.
I've been acquainted with Tyler for the past few years and I have watched him mature and grow Jewishly. I cannot think of a more appropriate choice out of the impressive group of thirteen graduates.
