Rochwerg/Goldschmied Family Their Associated Journey

Stefanie Goldschmied Gr. 8 Class Photo Stefanie--middle row, third from the left; and her future husband, Ozzie--middle row, fifth from the left.

“Associated has been the main source of Jewish education and love for Jewish learning instilled in four generations of my family: my grandpa (Nathan Rochwerg) went to the D'Arcy St. Talmud Torah in the late '20's; my father (Marty Rochwerg) went to the Brunswick school and then graduated from Posluns in 1963; my husband, Ozzie, and I met at and both graduated from Danilack in 1991; and my own three children are currently being enriched with the top-notch educational programs that Associated provides.

Associated is not just an institution of learning, but a culture and family. Our children feel loved from the moment they walk through the school's doors. Their ability to speak and understand conversational Hebrew has been the biggest impact their Associated education has made.

As my Father says, ‘‘...an Associated graduate is provided with the opportunity to develop into a caring, committed, and contributing member of Canadian society and the global village... while maintaining, celebrating, and defending our Jewish identity and K'lal Yisrael universally.”’’ -Stefanie Goldschmeid

A Heritage for Jewish TorontoA Legacy for Jewish Families

From our humble beginnings over 100 years ago in a small eight-room house on Simcoe St., we began a great tradition in which the Toronto Jewish community’s children—from all observance levels, socio-economic backgrounds, and every corner of the city—learned about their heritage together. To this day, we have remained true to that mission to have a diverse appeal, and cater to the community’s children, regardless of their parents’ ability to pay tuition.

Over four generations of families have studied in our classrooms as we have grown through educational innovation and partnered in developing the Toronto Jewish community through our four conveniently located campuses: Cedarvale (Pre-Nursery & Nursery); Posluns (JK – Grade 5); Kamin (Pre-Nursery – Grade 5); and Hurwich/Danilack Middle School (Grades 6-8).

Nurturing Children to become Models of Integrity by Living Jewish ValuesWe equip your children with a moral compass allowing them to navigate the competing values that confront them in a complex world. Your children learn to demonstrate our sense of Jewish obligation not only in the way we care for fellow Jews but for all humanity. Members of our community fulfill their responsibility to make the world a better place — to relieve suffering, bring joy, correct injustice, and stand up for what is right.

How we treat other people is an essential element of Jewish learning. Students learn that mutual respect, fairness, dignity and compassion must govern our relationships with others. Anti-bullying action and education, conflict resolution programs, and recess Buddies are examples of many of the initiatives that reflect our commitment to ‘kavod’ — honour and respect.

dozens of countries, and from a wide array of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds

representing over 50 different synagogues.

Your child will join a vibrant hub of Jewish activism, raising

awareness, collecting funds, garnering support, and standing united with Israel. They will advocate in support of global issues such as: disaster relief, disease cures, environmental protection and elimination of poverty.

Jack Sable, GraduateClass of 2015 | 5775Valedictory Speech

“We have learned how to survive a long school day that has a double program of general and Jewish studies. Who would have thought that when we entered this school, we’d be able to solve challenging algebraic equations, interpret the Torah with the help of our good friend Rashi, and even learn how To Kill a Mockingbird?

The dedicated teachers here at Associated have not only taught us how to conjugate french verbs, how to do a proper sit up and how to behave like Jonah the Prophet, when you’re stuck in a whale, but they have also taught us how to think critically and how to be responsible citizens in the Jewish community.’’
