Happy 40th to Our Beloved Israel! School Holds ItS Owil ScclcV
By Berta Straz
In celebrating Yom Ha-
atzmaut our students were
kept busy creating and being
creative in their writings and
wishes. Not only did they put
their birthday wishes on paper
for their brothers and sisters
in ERETZ ISRAEL, but cele
brated this marvelous day in
many different ways at our
school.
With the assistance of Nan
Blum, the art teacher from the
Community School of the
Arts, they created their own
t-shirts with the 40th emblem.
Each child had his/her own
masterpiece to wear and enjoy
in Israel’s celebration marking
its indepenence! They also had
a special week called “My
dream week in Israel” in which
every day a different topic,
city or person was discussed
and their hopes and wishes for
our M’dinat-Israel were ex
pressed. Israeli food was on
the menu for a day, as well as
dancing, singing, and lots of
creativity to accompany those
special days.
In conjunction with the en
tire community, our school
participated at services for
Yom Ha-atzmaut which were
held April 22 at Temple Beth
El V’Shalom. We sang, prayed
and entertained the con^ega-
tion with our own version of
Israel’s Independence Day. It
followed with an Oneg Shab-
bat sponsored by the entire
Jewish community.
Thanks to Ziva London for
preparing the older children
with the presentation about
Israel’s 40th birthday! Yom
Huledet Sameach to Israel!
With much delight we tra
veled to Clemmons, N.C. and
visited with our “Bubbes and
Zaydes.” We took a special
pr^uction for them and really
shared our innermost ruach
(spirit) with each and everyone
of them. We made them feel
special about Independence
Day and were delighted to per
form and share some of our
time with them. It’s a mitzvah
to spend time with our seniors
and our children are aware of
how important this day was
for all of us. A “simchah”
should be enjoyed by both
young and old and that is
precisely what happened when
we visited the Blumenthal
Home.

“servicing clients in the
most professional way
pos^ble”
By Berta Straz
Why is this night different
from all other nights? Our stu
dents got to experience an au
thentic Seder. It was held at
Shalom Park on March 31.
Haggadot were passed out
and everyone participated.
The students led the various
parts of the Seder from the
Kadesh...U’rhatz...to the
Dayenu, and discussed situa
tions in other parts of the
world. Every nigun possible
was incorporated into our
Seder which was officiated and
assisted by Ziva London, our
main Hebrew-Judaic teacher.
As we approached the
Shulchan-Orech, eyes lit up
and everyone ran for the
Pesachdike luncheon: Gefilte
fish, matzah, fruits, cakes,
home baked goodies and many
other treats. No Seder is com
plete without the Hallel and
the official tunes emd songs to
conclude the celebrating of
Pesach. It was an exciting ex
perience and a good hands-on
opportunity for our yeladim to
get the feel of the holiday and
thus carry these same sym
bolic rituals home for their
own celebration.
We hope that your holiday
was as pleasant and as educa
tional as ours. That is what
makes this night different
from all other nights!
