Mostly Cloudy HAFTR celebrates its generations of families
From Alpert to four sets of Zweibel families, the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway (HAFTR) honored its three-generation families at the yeshiva’s 38th annual dinner held at the HAFTR Sports Complex on the Lawrence campus on Feb. 20. More than 325 people attended the Saturday night event.
The three-generation families represented former students of Hillel, HILI and HAFTR, who continued the family-school legacy and have children and grandchildren enrolled in HAFTR.
A 1978 merger between the Hebrew Institute of Long Island (HILI), which had served the Rockaway and Five Towns communities since 1936, and the Hillel School, founded in 1957, created HAFTR.
