The Anna and John Wyman Scholarship Fund
Anna and John were to begin their studies at Petaluma Hebrew within days. The Wyman family had just recently moved to Petaluma, and the children were excited to embark on this new chapter and explore their Jewish roots. They had just gotten a taste of the fun at the Chanukah Drive-Thru Experience. They had previously attended the Chabad Hebrew School in Berkeley and had loved it.
While Anna and John won't get to participate personally, their presence will be felt and their memory honored at Petaluma Hebrew.
Their mom, Sarah Wyman, in conjunction with the Chabad Jewish Center, has decided to open a scholarship fund to ensure that every Jewish child be able to receive a Jewish education, and explore their culture, traditions, and holidays.
The scholarship fund will encourage new enrollment in the program, and financially assist families who otherwise would not be able to attend. The scholarship fund will also benefit children wishing to attend Camp Aleph for a Jewish summer experience. In addition, it will assist boys and girls as they reach the age of Bar and Bat Mitzvah to be able to celebrate properly.
It is our hope and wish that The Anna and John Wyman Scholarship Fund will be a lasting legacy, and keep Anna and John (Chana Aviva and Gershom Yaakov) near and dear to our hearts.
If you have a Jewish child whom you would like to enroll in one of these programs as a tribute to Anna and John, and/or to request a scholarship, please reach out to [email protected]
