This year two students will
graduate from the N.C.
Hebrew Academy. We asked
them to share with us their
thoughts on leaving the
school.
What the Hebrew Academy
Means to Me
By Carrie Lambert
The Academy is a very
special school. From it I learn
ed so much from the multipli
cation tables to the meaning of
helping, from long division to
the history of Israel. Indeed,
without it I would not be the
same, and going to the
Hebrew Academy was an ex
perience I will never forget.
The teachers at the
Academy have always been
friendly, warm and caring.
They are the people who have
contributed so much to my
personality, to me. The
Hebrew Academy has a very
special atmosphere. It isn’t
just that the school is smaU
that makes it feel like one big
family at the Academy, it’s
everyone being Jewish. No one
feels like an outsider because
they’re Jewish, because we’re
all the same. The Judaica
classes are very special. We
learn Jewish history, and we
also learn about Tzedaka -
charity, giving and caring. In
my time at the Hebrew
Academy I’veparticiapted in
many Judaica plays, but to me
the most special were the per
formances for the residents of
the Blumenthal Home for the
Aged. Every year the school
goes there at Purim and we
perform a Purim-related play.
There is a very special feeling
that comes from helping and
that’s something I’ve learned
at the Hebrew Academy.
The Academy made me a
person, and going to the
school was an enriching ex
perience. It is with great
regret that I end this happy
stage in my life.
My Experiences at the
Hebrew Academy
By David Brenner
I have been in the Hebrew
Academy for seven years and
now I am graduating. It was
a great experience. I Teamed a
lot at the Academy. 1 par
ticularly liked Judaica. I en
joyed learning about Jewish
history. When I read the
stories, 1 feel like I am in them
I edso enjoyed Language Arts.
I liked to write stories so that
I could put my creativity to
work.
Next year I will be going to
Charlotte Latin School. I hope
it wil be as good for me as the
Academy, even though it
doesn’t teach Jewish subjects.
If you are a parent, I would
advise you to send your
children to the Hebrew
Academy from Kindergarten
to Sixth Grade.
