Aaron Dym
Silver Academy class of '75
I attended The Rabbi David L. Silver Yeshiva Academy thru 9th grade and graduated in 1975. From there, I went on to graduate from Susquehanna Township High School. My college years took me to University of Miami, Penn State and Temple University. During my years at Temple University, I was fortunate enough to be mentored by Morrie Schwab, z’l while working for Credential Leasing. I starting work turning sales records into punch cards for the early computer days and spent 18 years with Morrie and Credential Leasing. My next career path took me to W&L Sales Company as the CTO where I am today.

I married Shari Lyon Dym in 1997 where my classmates David Green and Larry Singer were my two best men. Shari and I have two amazing sons. Brian is currently in 7th grade at The Silver Academy, and on the Israel Trip right NOW! His bar mitzvah was this past November, and he did a stellar Silver Academy job. Ari graduated from The SIlver Academy in 2013 and is now a junior at Susquehanna Township High School. STHS took on Ragtime for their musical this past spring, where Ari played Tateh. Shari is the Director of Development for The Silver Academy. I am currently treasurer of The Silver Academy, The Federation of Greater Harrisburg, and Harrisburg-Snyder Lodge No 629 F&AM and serve on the board of The Jewish Community Foundation of Central PA.
When I think back on my days at The Silver Academy, I fondly remember recess! We used to play football, the three Larrys and Aaron vs the rest of the class. Too funny that Brian’s favorite thing is playing football at recess. I also appreciate the strong values that Rabbi Silver, z’l instilled into all of us. This school has made me into the man that I am today.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the school and have both of my sons attend the school. Thank you to my parents, Sue and Arthur Dym for making the choice to send me to The Silver Academy so that I received a solid Jewish and secular education. Now I have been able to give that same gift to my boys. L’Dor v Dor.
