At the end of the school year, the leading educational institution of the Jewish Community of Dnipro — Jewish Lyceum No. 144 named after Levi Yitzchak Schneerson — hosted a grand awards ceremony honoring the best students and teachers in various categories. This traditional event is known as the “Success Award.”
This year, the symbolic red carpet of the “Success Award” was laid out in the Sinai Hall of the world’s largest Jewish center, the Menorah, and was part of the festive “Last Bell” celebration. The ceremony began, as is customary in the Dnipro Jewish Community, with a video of the Rebbe. Then the director of the Jewish Lyceum, Olena Leonidivna Krasnova, warmly welcomed all participants.
The awards were presented by leaders and activists of the Dnipro Jewish Community and alumni of Jewish educational institutions. Among the honorary guests was His Excellency Gaël Veyssière, Ambassador of France to Ukraine. The ceremony was hosted by the deputy principals of the Jewish Lyceum, Aliza Rabinovich and Tetyana Syrotkina, who invited the winners, their mentors, and parents to the stage.
In addition to students, teachers who had outstanding achievements this year and contributed to the school’s reputation were also honored.
The Jewish Community of Dnipro warmly congratulates all winners — both students and teachers — and wishes them great accomplishments that will bring pride to the community, the city, the country, and great joy to the Rebbe!
