Anonymous Donors Free Boston-Area Jewish School From Debt

An anonymous group of donors has given $12.25-million to a small Jewish high school in Waltham, Mass., to pay off the lingering debt from a 2003 construction loan, says The Boston Globe.

The contribution to the 315-student Gann Academy is the first significant gift to a Jewish group in the Boston area since the twin blows of the recession and the Bernard Madoff fraud hit last year, the newspaper notes.
