January 6, 2006—1) "In Memoriam: Rabbi
Henry Soille," Kolenu (monthly newsletter of
Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School), page 1: This coming Thursday, Jan. 12
(12 Tevet) will mark the 11th yahrzeit of Rabbi Henry Soille, z"l. Rabbi
Soille's incredible life spanned his tenure as a communal Rabbi in Paris prior
to World War II, his efforts to save orphans and rescue survivors in the
aftermath of the Holocaust, being principal of a Talmud Torah in Cleveland, and
eventually settling in San Diego just in time to give input into the Torah
studies program of our Hebrew Day School during its first years. In April
1970 Hebrew Day School honored Rabbi Soille for "years of devoted service
heading the school's Va'ad HaChinuch.' His lifelong partner, Esther
Soille, shared in every achievement. Rabbi Weiser remembers Rabbi Soille's
regular visits to Hebrew Day School, his serving as a judge of the Mitzvah Fair,
and his emotional joy at just visiting classrooms and observing Torah study take
place. Most recently, Sean Levi, parent of three Hebrew Day students,
spoke about his friendship with Rabbi Soille. His vision and love of Torah
remain a fixture of our school, which today proudly bears his name. May
his memory continue to count for a blessing."
2) "Off Learning," Kolenu, page 4: Rabbi Weiser will be
away from school for two days in mid-January to attend a Consortium of Jewish
Educators conference titled: Applying Standards—Strengthening Day School
Leadership. This two day program will feature presentations by Dr. Chaim
Feuerman, Rabbi Noach Orlowek, and Rabbi Yoel Kramer. At the end of January,
Torah Umesorah, the National Society of Hebrew Day Schools will hold its
Mid-Winter Principals' Conference here in San Diego, and Rabbi Weiser is serving
Host Principal.
