Youth Visions
Hebrew High - Creating Jewish Leaders
It’s time to check out all of the
new and exciting programs at
Hebrew High for 5772. Our theme
for the first session is “Becoming
Jewish Leaders.” All of our elec
tives this session will focus on
leadership development and
Jewish growth. There will be great
new electives, amazing special
programs and outstanding retreats.
Here are just a few of the elective
highlights:
Jewish Souls/Jewish Soles
Students will explore their
Jewish identities and hopes for
their lives as Jewish adults in this
art class with soul. They will then
decorate a pair of canvas shoes to
reflect their hopes, dreams and
ambitions for their Jewish future.
The results are sure to be dazzling,
dynamic and fun.
Last session s art class yielded these two color
ful quilts of the 12 Tribes.
Manhegut-Leadership Israeli
Style
Ever wonder why Israelis seem
so capable in the economic, scien
tific and political arenas? Join Mor
Green, our Shlicha from Israel and
explore leadership from an Israeli
point of view. Discuss positive
and negative leadership qualities.
Learn about actual leaders in
Israel and Judaism. Have frank
conversations about Israeli poli
tics and how a system with 32
political parties functions.
Rising From the Ashes-
Resistance in the Holocaust
During the Holocaust, there
were individuals and groups that
tried to help the Jewish population
of Europe. In this class, we will
hear about the brave individuals
who were part of the resistance
and partisan movements. The
class will start with a brief
history of the Holocaust
and then talk about some
of the famous events and
individuals who were part
of the resistance. Students
will be journaling to reflect
their feelings about the
subjects discussed.
Jewtopia
What if Jews colonized
outer space? What kind of
world would we create?
Who would we accept or
want in Jewtopia? What laws
would we follow? What language
would we speak? How would we
dress? What kind of buildings
would we need? The students in
this class will answer these and
many more thought provoking
questions as they create the perfect
Jewish society.
Warriors and Rebels
Jews have a long history of suf
fering anti-Semitism, but there is a
misconception that as a group, we
have submitted to the discrimina
tion and violence meted out to us.
That is not altogether true. Meet
the warriors and rebels who have
railed against the status quo.
Sometimes they won, sometimes
they lost. But you’ll see with the
likes of Bar Kochba, the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising, Mickey Marcus,
and more that Jews have fought
valiantly against those who would
wish to destroy us.
Enroll your 8 th through 12 th
grade students today. Classes
begin on September 14. Don’t let
them miss out on the Hebrew High
experience. For more information

Schools
Healthy and Kosher Eating with CJDS Catering and Kosher Charlotte
Most school cafeterias are just
that - kitchens that provide lunch
to their students. But the cafeteria
at the Charlotte Jewish Day
School is so much more. In addi
tion to following the latest
“healthy plate” standard set by the
USDA, the CJDS kitchen is the
home of CJDS Catering and
Kosher Charlotte.
Back in 2004, when CJDS
moved into its new building at
Shalom Park, students and facul
ty were excited about having a
real cafeteria. For the first time
they were offered hot lunches,
sandwiches, soups and a salad
bar. Rabbi Menachem Vorst,
more commonly referred to by
students as “The Kosher Police,”
is the cafeteria manager. He real
ized that the Kosher cafeteria
Serving a healthy and kosher lunch in the CJDS
cafeteria.
could be used to do more than just
serve CJDS student lunches - it
could be used to provide Kosher
food to the community. In addi
tion, it would be an ongoing
fundraiser for CJDS.
CJDS Catering provides full-
service Kosher catering for fami
lies, businesses, and simeha
events, in and around Charlotte. If
you are looking to cater a small
party at your home or business and
would like trays of food delivered,
or you are hosting 200 people at a
bar/bat mitzvah or wedding, CJDS
catering can handle all of your
Kosher catering needs. Ed and
Leslie Rusgo recently hosted a
large business luncheon for sever
al New York City clients. “The
luncheon was nothing less than
spectacular. These clients were
sophisticated men who were used
to the best, and they received noth
ing less. The food was excellent,
the presentation beautiful, and the
whole affair was very profes
sionally handled. Platters of
smoked salmon, trout, kugels,
a variety of cream cheeses
and all the necessary side
dishes were all delicious and
of the highest quality.” Mr.
Rusgo went on to say that “
... excellent quality matters to
us. We always receive that
when we deal with CJDS
catering.”
A project of CJDS
Catering is Kosher Charlotte.
Kosher Charlotte also oper
ates out of the CJDS cafeteria, and
as with CJDS Catering, all income
goes to the Day School. Bakery
items, such as cupcakes and poppy
seed cakes, a large variety of
kosher soups, and fresh fish can all
be purchased through Kosher
Charlotte. Log onto www.kosher-
charlotte.com for more informa
tion.
And on a daily basis the CJDS
cafeteria continues to provide
lunches to its students. Exciting
changes are happening there, as
well. Charlotte Jewish Day School
students are going to benefit from
a new initiative focusing on creat
ing a Healthy Community, guide
lines for which were developed by
the USDA. Day School parents
have organized a Healthy School
Committee, chaired by Nancy
Felder. “After brainstorming with
the committee, we realized that we
should focus our energies on three
areas. Health Education, Physical
Education, and Food and
Nutrition. For 2011-2012, we will
prioritize Food and Nutrition,”
Nancy explained.
Changes will include establish
ing the highest nutritional stan
dards for lunches served in the
CJDS cafeteria. These standards
have been laid out by the USDA in
www.choosemyplate.gov. Instead
of using the traditional food pyra
mid to determine the balance of
each meal, CJDS will be using the
idea of “the healthy plate.” Nancy
went on to explain that “...we will
use healthy portion sizes, and each
plate will include a protein, a
healthy starch, a fruit and/or veg
etable and a dairy item (on non
meat plates). Students will
receive all of the food items,
because studies show that in order
for kids to be healthy eaters, we
need to consistently expose them
to healthy food options.” Other
programs will attempt to limit or
do away with water bottles,
encourage the students to bring
healthy snacks from home, and
offer nutrition education or “lunch
and learn” activities, all in an
effort to promote a Healthy
Community. ^
