West Hartford day school gets set to welcome new head of school
By Stacey Dresner
WEST HARTFORD – Rabbi Jonathan (“Yoni”) Berger has been named new Head of School at Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Hartford. He succeeds Andrea Kaspar, who is relocating to Europe with her family. Rabbi Berger will start at Schechter on July 1.
Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Berger, 45, grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey, where his father, Kenneth Berger, was rabbi of Congregation Beth Sholom and his mother, Cheryl Berger, was a Jewish day school teacher at Solomon Schechter Day School of Bergen County.
“She was actually my teacher in fifth and sixth grade. So, I grew up in a home where there’s a lot of love of Judaism and love of learning, and good Jewish joy,” says Berger, who went on to attend the Frisch Yeshiva High School and then the University of Michigan, where he earned his undergraduate degree.

The pandemic stripped away the social side out of Aspen’s historically lively art and gallery scene. Yes, galleries were able to open quickly after the spring 2020 lockdown and, yes, they provided sanctuary for people seeking solace or inspiration when most every other cultural hub was closed.

Sprawl-causing policies
Bombs cause damage at the impact zone and they cause collateral damage beyond that.

The loss of credit rating increases borrowing costs passed along to customers. But not all customers will continue paying and they will move.
As rates go up in Gainesville, people and businesses will seek shelter in outlying communities. Moving will be their only option. Ironically this will cause more commuter cars on roads, sprawl and stresses to outlying city infrastructures.
