The most joyous festival of the
Jewish year is Simchat Torah. This
is when the annual reading of the
Torah is concluded and the new
cycle of reading begins once again.
The Jewish people celebrate
their eternal bond with the Torah.
Each and every Jew, men and
women, old and young, are firmly
connected to the Torah, thus they
all celebrate this very happy festi
val.
Lubavitch will host its annual
Simchat Torah celebration with an
elaborate program which will in
volve the children. The event will
be held on Monday October 16,
7:30 p.m. at the Chabad House -
Shalom Park. A festive holiday
meal will be served followed by
singing and Chassidic dancing.
Children wilt participate by
leading the crowd in the reciting of
Tocah verses wich are as^tated
with SinKhat Torah.
The Jewish Day School
Kindergarteners Start The
New Year
To help the kindergarteners at
the Jewish Day School of Charlotte
acclimate themselves to their new
environment, we began the school
year by going on a hunt for the Gin
gerbread Man. The children heard
the Big Book Story and baked and
decorated their own gingerbread
men. To their surprise, when they
went to the oven, the gingerbread
men were gone. After searching the
school grounds and questioning all
the staff, they happily found them
in a neighboring classroom. They
wrote an experience story about
their search using photographs.
Part of the challenge of this activ
ity was to put the experience in
proper sequence.
The students enjoyed a trip to
Carrigan Farms. While there, they
visited a greenhouse, saw bees
making honey in a beehive, went
on a hay ride, picked apples, and
petted various farm animals.
When they returned from their
trip, they heard the story of
Arnold's Apple Tree and made
apple books, sequencing the devel
opment of the apple. They made
apple pizzas, graphed their favor
ite apple and made apple wreaths
for their moms. Literature about
farm life and farm animals was in
troduced. We wrote a class version
of Rosie’s Walk with emphasis on
positional words. We also made
accordion books about farm ani
mals and listened to silly chicken
stories.
The story of “Rooster's Off To
See The World” included many
math concepts. We also wrote
word problems about farm animals,
covering the concepts of counting
skills, numeration, measurement,
geometry, attributes and patterns.
In addition, we were also able
to integrate our Rosh Hashana stud
ies during this trip. As Jews all over
the world dip their apples into
honey and ask G-d for a sweet new
year, it was very meaningful for the
children to see the amazing way
that honey comes to us, as well as
studying how a single seed pro
duces an apple tree. Field trips and
projects like these are used exten
sively throughout the year to bring
the concepts of Judaism to life.
As the children are being in
troduced to the Hebrew Alphabet,
they are also learning Hebrew vo
cabulary to go along with each let
ter. They are designing their own
“Aleph Bet Rakevet” (train), with
each car depicting a letter along
with a matching picture of the vo
cabulary word. By the end of the
year, they will not only have a beau
tiful room decoration but will also
have the command of fifty plus
Hebrew vocabulary words.
We are looking forward to a
great year. Y’all come see us!
Absolut Toasts Readers with New Ad
Foster Sales to Benefit
Lubavitch Community Center
The work of acclaimed Ju
daic artist Michel Schwartz will
be showcased in a new adver
tisement from Absolut Vodka
premiering in the August/Sep
tember issue of Lifestyles Maga-
zihe and later appearing in New
York Magazine and the Jerusa
lem Report. Titled “Absolut
L’Chaim,” the vibrant, colofful
ad combines Mr. Schwartz’s sig
nature style of creating images
out of Hebrew letters with the
shape of the widely recognized
Absolut bottle.
Proceeds from the sale of
posters and limited edition litho
graphs of “Absolut L’Chaim”
will benefit the local Lubavitch
Educational Center. The posters
will be sold for $38 each and the _ _ _
380 lithographs, which will be
signed and numbered by the art
ist, will sell for $380 each. Mr. Schwartz explained that the number 380
is significant to him and to the Lubavitch community because it is the
numerical equivalent of the Rebbe’s initials, Mem-Mem Shin, Menachem
Mendel Schneerson.
The Rebbe was an important influence in my life,” says Mr.
Schwartz, and in 1991 directly provide the inspiration for one of my
most ambitious works, ‘What the World Will Look Like When Moshiach
Comes.”
Rabbi Groner of Lubavitch of North Carolina said, "When approached
by the marketing department for Absolute Vodka. Michal was asked wher«
he wanted the proceeds of the posters and lithographs to go. After some
extensive research, which included Jewish day schools in small commu
nities. Michal Schwartz decided that the proceeds should go Lubavitch
of North Carolina to help with their educational efforts in Charlotte."
