First Annual MWJDS Gala
MetroWest Jewish Day School of Framingham celebrated its first fund raising Gala, "Winter Lights: A Celebration of the Arts" on Dec. 4, 2004 at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham. The night honored the Ark Builders of Temple Israel of Natick as the Ark was dedicated that night. The Ark Builders of Temple Israel of Natick, a group of volunteers who "worship through woodworking," constructed an Aron Kodesh, a holy ark, to house the Torah for the MetroWest Jewish Day School. The Gann Academy Jazz Ensemble performed and Radio personality Jordan Rich was the emcee for the evening. There was a silent auction and finely crafted Judaica by well-known artists was available for purchase. Support of this event contributed to the tuition assistance program.
