The HHNE graduating class...

...is the first one that did not attend school at the same time as Avi. I'm wondering how to keep his memory and ma'asim tovim (good deeds) alive at HHNE besides on his yahrzeit and during commencement.

4th annual HHNE Avi Lapidus Memorial Award...

...was given last evening during the graduation ceremony to Hillel Adler.

Here is a description of the award. Incidentally, the last pair of tefillin that Avi wore at his last minyan on his last Sunday was Hillel's. Both were lefties. (Avi of course had his own set, which was not available that day.)
