Bnos Chomesh Graduation Celebrates Students’ Success

Students, teachers, family, and friends gathered to honor the accomplishments of the 5786 graduating class of Bnos Chomesh in Crown Heights.

Every graduation is exciting. Every graduation is a milestone. But a Bnos Chomesh graduation is a joy-filled celebration! Students, teachers, family, and friends gathered to honor the accomplishments of the 5786 graduating class and reflect on the growth of each student individually and on the class as a whole.

The evening was a testament not only to academic achievement, but to the Chassidishe growth, and personal confidence that define a graduate of Bnos Chomesh.

The program began with graduate Sarah Sasha Cohen leading the crowd in the Rebbe’s and the Rebbetzin’s kapitlach, followed by the reading of the Rebbe’s letter by Rabbi Chaim Perl, whose daughter Shaina was among the graduates. Throughout the evening, students shared personal reflections on their high school journey and the lessons they will carry with them into the future.

“Last year there were two classes I really struggled with. My principals worked with me and made it possible for me to sit in classes where, at first, I had a hard time,” shared Dori Weiss, who graduated with honors. Her words captured one of the hallmarks of Bnos Chomesh: a commitment to meeting students where they are at and helping them find their path to success.

Graduate Maya Peterman reflected on the future, encouraging her classmates to “stay curious” as they begin the next chapter of their lives.

Luba Braun drew inspiration from the weekly parsha, Parshas Korach, reminding her fellow graduates and the audience of the importance of using their talents to further peace in the world. Graduate Chana Movsikov spoke about the value of perseverance and steady growth. “High school taught me that not every step forward is obvious. Sometimes you only realize how far you’ve come when you look back.”

Shaina Perl thanked the dedicated parents as each graduate presented her mother with a long-stemmed rose.

Mrs. Gorkin, Bnos Chomesh’s Principal, echoed this message in her remarks to the graduates. “Whether it is Halacha class, Chumash, math, or history, consistent effort coupled with lots of support has been the key to our students’ success. This is a lesson for school achievement, as well as for our students’ Avodas Hashem.”

Following the students’ addresses, Bnos Chomesh Administrator Mrs. Alyson Feldman presented a special award to Mrs. Gorkin in recognition of her 19 years of devoted leadership, unwavering dedication to her students and staff, and the profound impact she has made on the school and the broader community. Mrs. Gorkin looks forward to the next 19 years of working with the incredible team that makes Bnos Chomesh an educational oasis for students looking for a warm, small school experience.

As the graduates embark on the next stage of their journey, they leave with more than a diploma. They leave with confidence, resilience, strong values, and the knowledge that they are capable of achieving great things. They also carry with them the unwavering support of the Bnos Chomesh family, which will continue to cheer them on every step of the way.
Mazal tov to the Bnos Chomesh Class of 5786/2026. May they continue to grow, thrive, and bring Chassidishe light and nachas to their families, to the Rebbe and to the entire world.

Registration is now open for the 5787 School year.
