Vancouver Talmud Torah Alumni

Lifelong friendships start at VTT. 💙
This beautiful snapshot from The Roots We Share major fundraiser captures our guest of honour, David Bogoch ('68), surrounded by VTT alumni from the Classes of 1967, 1968, and 1973.
The most remarkable part? These individuals have been childhood friends since their early days at VTT and remain close to this day. This image stands as a true testament to the deep, unbreakable bonds formed within our school community—connections that genuinely last a lifetime.

The Roots We Share was a celebration of volunteer archivist and Class of '68 alumnus David Bogoch. We must also recognize his son, Adam Bogoch ('05), who was responsible for creating so many of the evening's extraordinary elements, including the tribute video and retrospective slideshows, which involved months of work. This father-son duo has a deep love and respect for VTT, and we are the lucky beneficiaries of their devotion!

What an unforgettable evening at The Roots We Share!
Last week, our community came together for our major fundraiser to celebrate our history and pay tribute to a truly exceptional individual—our dedicated volunteer archivist and Class of ’68 alumnus, David Bogoch. It was an absolute honour to celebrate his decades of commitment to preserving VTT's story.
We were also thrilled to have a record-breaking turnout of more than 30 of our incredible faculty and staff members join in the fun! Our amazing team makes VTT such a warm, vibrant place for our students every single day.
Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and made the evening a massive success.

We were thrilled that retired Head of School Cathy Lowenstein joined us at our major fundraiser, The Roots We Share. Thanks to our stellar past and present leadership, along with the tireless dedication of our faculty and staff, VTT continues to go from strength to strength. The retrospective slideshows displayed at the event, expertly arranged by Adam Bogoch, were a wonderful testament to how far our school has come over the years.
