With great excitement and a lot of Lion Pride, the community gathered January 8, for the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of Scheck Hillel Community School’s new state-of-the-art Athletic Complex. To commence the celebration, Scheck Hillel’s Head of School, Dr. Ezra Levy officially welcomed families, founders, past chairs, alumni, dignitaries and other friends to the complex and future of the campus.

Scheck Hillel was fortunate to have North Miami Beach Mayor George Vallejo, Golden Beach Mayor Glenn Singer, Aventura Mayor Enid Weisman,Indian Creek Councilman Bob Diener, Miami-Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman, North Miami Beach Councilmembers Phyllis Smith, Anthony DeFillipo and Marlen Martell, Israel’s Consul General to Florida and Puerto Rico Chaim Shacham and Deputy Consul General Revital Malca join them for the celebration.

The City of North Miami Beach even presented Scheck Hillel with a certificate of recognition for this momentous occasion.

For 45 years, Scheck Hillel students were without the home-field advantge and have held practices and games at neighboring fields. And yet, the school’s athletics program has soared with regional and district rankings, universities recruiting athletes, international media coverage and one of the nation’s only Jewish varsity football teams. The first phase of their capital campaign, the new 110,000-square-foot Athletic Complex, which houses the Diener Athletic Center, Rok Field and Leo’s Court will enrich the academic experience and give students the lifetime benefit of sports.
