Nachum welcomed Eli Hagler, Executive Director of Brauser Maimonides Academy (BMA) in Fort Lauderdale, FL, to this morning’s JM in the AM to discuss the school, the community and yesterday’s Epic Yom HaAtzmaut Car Parade.

From the BMA website:

The Leon and Leona Brauser Maimonides Academy (BMA) is a Modern Orthodox Jewish Day School committed to academic excellence in both Judaic and General Studies, while maintaining a warm, nurturing, learning environment in which our students thrive intellectually, socially and spiritually. BMA strives to empower our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed to their full potential. The school seeks to instill within each child a lifelong love of Torah with adherence to Halacha; love and respect for Klal Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael; commitment to mitzvot; development of positive middot, and proficiency in modern Hebrew. The uniqueness of a BMA education is its child-centered approach, which focuses on each student’s individual character and personality. The cultivation of responsibility, discipline, self-esteem, confidence and genuine love and respect for all people is the hallmark of our education. Through growth in character, spirituality and Torah knowledge, BMA strives to produce graduates that are uplifted by their education and motivated to become contributing members of the Jewish community and the world at large.
