“By understanding the character and hearts of the entire school community, [David] has helped us design what will clearly become one of the most beautiful campuses in the southwest. He… has inspired all of us, from the architects to the lay building committee, to reach within ourselves to build something that is truly meaningful. He has helped us better understand donor recognition and creating memories. He has helped the faculty articulate their educational goals; he has helped our students see their roles as the future of the Jewish people.
“I would partner with him on any project, anytime.â€
– Jaynie Schultz, President,
Board of Directors, Akiba Yavneh Academy, Dallas; President, Schultz Family Foundation
“Who else could have joined incomparable creative artistic talent with a deep spirituality in a proposal that transformed our magnificent building design from a fine piece of architecture to a profound sacred space?
“Thanks to you the distinctive nature of Hillel's inclusivity and diversity will be a permanent structural feature of our building. Thanks to you the centrality of Jewish learning and its transformative potential is a prominent message communicated at the entrance. And thanks to you the Jewish journey through exile onto Eretz Yisrael is incorporated into the Hillel pathway. You gave the stones and mortar life and spirit. You brought Jerusalem and the teachings of Judaism into the daily lives of any and every visitor to UCLA Hillel. In doing so, you will be influencing Jewish students for generations to come.â€
– Rabbi Chaim Seiderler-Feller, Director, UCLA Hillel, Los Angeles
