'Big Bang Event' a major success

The Zachs Family (from left Eric, Judi, Mayim Bialik, Henry and Jessica) were honored at Hebrew High School's "Big Bang Event" recently for their support of the school and philanthropy throughout the Connecticut Jewish community. 

The annual scholarship fundraiser, the most successful  in the school's history, was held at Beth El Temple in West Hartford. Bialik, the star of the CBS hit comedy "The Big Bang Theory" who had starred in the 1990s TV hit series "Blossom" and earned a P.h.D. from UCLA in neuro science, delivered galactic magnitude with a down to earth speech speech that mixed tidbits from her Hollywood career, her journey to being an observant Jew and her passion of "attachment parenting." 

 This year, 21 students graduated from HHNE at ceremonies at the school on June 17. The evening was also a celebration of the dedication to the school of Barbara Zalesch.
