For forty-five years, KADIMA DAY SCHOOL has shaped the lives and futures of thousands of children in our rich Jewish community. Dedicated to a strong sense of Jewish identity, Kadima alumni have become successful and committed individuals with careers in law, music, medicine, science, finance, education, Jewish communal service, technology and more. At this year’s gala, we honor our 45 year history and celebrate leadership in our community. 

Kadima Day School is proud to honor RABBI JAY A. STREAR, a dedicated Kadima Board member and parent who is deeply committed to the success of our school. Rabbi Strear has been a longtime promoter of Jewish education in Los Angeles. Rabbi Strear joined the Board of Directors in 2008, and has served in various capacities, including a two-year term as President. Rabbi Strear, his wife Beth, and their 3 children continue to demonstrate their dedication to the Kadima community.
