"My family and I continue to take great pride in the accomplishments of OHDS. The most endearing one being the strong and sustaining education that our daughters received, including their love for reading, learning, word inquiry, and social justice.  OHDS also provided our children with a seamless merger of Jewish and general studies in a positive and challenging academic environment.  I believe that being a part of OHDS was one of the greatest opportunities of my rabbinic career."
