SINAI Schools cordially invites you to our 2017 Annual Benefit Dinner.

With our highly individualized programs designed to meet each child’s specific needs, a 1:2 professional-to-student ratio, and intense therapeutic supports within the classrooms, our costs per child are staggeringly high. Tuition reflects these costs, and without significant financial aid is beyond the reach of all but a handful of families. Funds raised at the Benefit Dinner enable us to continue to say “yes” to the children who need a special education, regardless of financial circumstances. Your compassion and generosity allows SINAI Schools to continue to provide an outstanding special education to our community’s Jewish children with special needs. Please join us on Sunday Evening, February 26, 2017, Honoring Adam and Ilana Chill, Rabbi Chaim and Malca Jachter, Moshe and Esther Muschel, Moshe and Orit Zharnest at the Marriott Glenpointe Hotel, Teaneck NJ; Buffet Dinner 4:45PM; Program Promptly at 6:30PM.
