Our Alumni
It has been twenty-five years since Torah Academy opened its doors
for the school's first class of three year olds. Since then, twelve
classes have graduated.
Where are they now?
Perhaps now is a good time to look back at that first group of children and see where they are. It just so happens that among that first group are three young people who were born within twenty-four hours of each other, to parents who were founders of the school.
SPOTLIGHT ON THREE TA GRADUATES:
Nisan Siegel,
Benzion Moskovitz, and Sarah Miller Zilberstein demonstrate the
excellent education provided by Torah Academy, and the diverse opportunities open to our graduates.

After graduating from Torah Academy, Nisan Siegel
attended the Maimonides School. He studied at Yeshivat HaKotel in
Jerusalem and then returned to New England where he received his
Bachelor's Degree in chemistry at Brandeis University, and met his wife,
Andrea. After working in his field for one year, Nisan decided to pursue
his doctorate. He and Andrea are now living in Georgia, where Nisan is
studying for his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Georgia Institute of
Technology in Atlanta and Andrea is a graduate student at Emory
University in Oxford, Georgia.

Sara Miller graduated from Torah Academy in 1992 and
attended Tikvah High School in New Haven. Then she traveled to Israel to
study at the Bais Yaakov of Jerusalem Sara Schneirer Teachers Institute.
Returning home, she received her bachelor's degree in political science
from Wellesley College. Sara is now engaged in a fascinating assignment
as an investigator with the New York State Commission on Judicial
Conduct. Last winter she married Tzvi Zilberstein, a senior financial
analyst at IDT Corporation. They make their home in Manhattan.
"TA prepared us for all different kinds of things in life,"
Sarah recalls. "We were really equipped to go on to any kind of further
education we wanted."

As products of a Torah Academy education, Nisan, Benzi, and
Sarah have found a world of opportunities open to them.
