Planners should approve Heschel West Dayschool




We are writing to show our support for the Heschel West Day School project that is before the regional planning commission. Heschel West Dayschool has been the single most important influence in our family’s life. Heschel West teaches families to value community, tradition, and ethical and humanistic behavior.


Yes, it takes a village to raise a child, but not just any village. It isn’t enough to plop down homes and shopping centers and call a village complete. Heschel West completes Agoura by providing community and educational services that teach young people to love life-long learning, to donate food to the needy, time to the elderly and to care for the environment.


If Agoura is to have a bright and positive future, it will be because young people have been taught to contribute to their community, which Heschel West does so well.


The project is on an ideal site for a school, with convenient freeway access located away from homes. Great care and consideration for neighbors has gone into the entire planning process so that buildings are set back and designs are unobtrusive.


Sensitivity to the environment is a hallmark of Heschel West, and the school will be a stalwart steward of this beautiful land.


With a booming school-age population and Jewish population in this region, there is a great need for more educational alternatives and broad support for this Jewish dayschool that has already achieved national renown.


For all these reasons that best serve the public interest, we urge support for the approval of the building of Heschel West Day School.
