What is the Posnack Circle of Friends fund and why should I support it?

The Posnack Circle of Friends is the David Posnack Hebrew Day School’s annual campaign.  A range of giving levels is available.   The purpose of the Posnack Circle is to cover the school’s annual operating deficit.  Your unrestricted gift to the Posnack Circle of Friends benefits every student in the school as it provides for the day-to-day expenses and program enhancements that make us the fine educational institution that we are known as throughout the tri-county and national Jewish day school network.

You may choose to restrict your Posnack Circle of Friends gift to the program or area of your choice/interest.  LINK

 What is Links to Learning?

Links to Learning is our annual woman’s campaign to support technology needs at DPHDS.  Members of Links to Learning are identified by the beautiful 14 carat gold charm bracelet they proudly wear.  Charms are added yearly.  Proceeds from the sales of membership bracelets, charms and sponsorships of our annual Links to Learning tribute pay for technology at the school.  Each year a different woman from the community is honored for her commitment to DPHDS at a beautiful Links to Learning luncheon. 

Where happens with the proceeds from the DPHDS Sprint for the Finish 5K & Daniel’s 1 Mile Fitness/Fun Walk?

Every spring DPHDS parents, high school students and other volunteers host a sanctioned 5K run for our families and the larger running “community”.  The majority of the proceeds from the 5K benefit all DPHDS students directly as programming dollars.  A portion of the 5K monies go toward a national or local charity chosen by the 5K committee each year. Additionally, WECARE food pantry, which feeds the hungry in Broward County, is a beneficiary of our 5K.  Corporate Sponsorships are invited.

Daniel Cantor Wultz was a DPHDS student tragically murdered by terrorists while vacationing in Israel with his family in 2006.  All proceeds from the Daniel’s 1 Mile Fitness/Fun Walk benefit scholarships for DPHDS high school students attending the Alexander Muss High School in Israel Program (AMIE), as Daniel had wished to go but never had the opportunity.  DPHDS students in all grades participate actively in raising money for the walk.

What do my dollars designated for Performing Arts support?

DPHDS is very proud of its Performing Arts programs which include an annual upper school play and numerous band and vocal concerts throughout the year.  Students perform for the entire community, entertaining their own families, the elderly and infirm, and young children who are prospective DPHDS students.  

Your support of the department directly, the Playbill, sales of tickets, candy, etc. are all re-invested into our students’ growing acting and musical abilities.
