Literary Dessert Reception
Shaul Lent (VTHS Class of ’05) recently published a book telling the amazing story of his grandfather’s survival during World War II. Valley Torah is very proud of Shaul’s accomplishment and his book, “Faith From the Depths of Kovno.”
You are invited to a dessert reception this Sunday where you can meet Shaul and hear more about his grandfather’s story. See below for more information.

Tearful Return
One of our alumni was in the Chabad of Poway when the shooting took place. He returned to Valley Torah today to say Birchas HaGomel.
Dr. Allen Ardestani (’97) was visiting his family in Poway for Pesach when the shots rang out. He returned to Los Angeles and joined our minyan today. Tears were flowing as he received an aliyah and said Birchas HaGomel. After davening, Dr. Ardestani shared is harrowing story with the boys. He showed them how Hashem orchestrated many small “coincidences” to keep him and his family safe.
