The Charlotte Jewish News - March 2016 - Page 18 Youth Visions Hebrew Highlights Where does the time go? It is hard to believe that we are about to begin the final Hebrew High session for 5776. This session will be dedieated to Jewish ereativity and inspiration. All of our elee- tives will highlight the ingenuity that makes our people (ineluding our students) so speeial. Follow ing are highlights of some of our eourses: Chopped (liver) - This eooking elass will use the format of the popular TV show to eneourage students to get ereative in the kitehen. Eaeh week, the elass will be given a basket of mystery in gredients (one of whieh will be traditionally Jewish), and be ehal- lenged to produee a delieious dessert or appetizer in less than an hour. Art With Heart - This elass will ereate one of a kind art pieees that will be donated to a variety of loeal eharities in the Charlotte area. They will ereate art to brighten someone’s day at Alexander Children’s Network, Ronald MeDonald House, Jewish Family Serviees, and other speeial organizations. We will work on several projeets throughout this session that teaeh our students that ereating art for others is good for the heart. Superheroes and the Jewish Conneetion - Superheroes have al ways eaptured the imagination of people of all ages and are eur- rently having an impaet as never before. Hollywood has produeed bloekbuster movies ineluding: The Avengers, The Amazing Spi- derman, and The Dark Knight Rises. The elass will explore in spirational, ethieal, and spiritual material from a variety of story lines, and the Jewish influenee on these heroes. Themes may in- elude: Revenge vs. Justiee, Soei- ety and Vigilantism, Repairing the World, Order vs. Chaos, Power and Responsibility, and Guilt, Confession, and Forgiveness. LOL-The Culture of Jewish Humor - What do the Marx Broth ers, the Three Stooges, Mel Brook, Joan Rivers, Adam San dler, Henny Youngman, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Sebumer, and Sasha Baron Cohen have in eommon? They are all Jewish and they make us laugh. Jewish humor is eonsidered by Jews and non-Jews as a reeogniz- able and distinet form of humor. This eourse will explore what, if anything, ties together Jewish humor from the Book of Esther to the latest in stand-up. Students will learn about the rela tionship between humor and the Jewish experienee throughout the ages. We will read, tell, and wateh Jewish humor exploring how humor developed to help a people survive and how that beeame part of popular humor in the United States and elsewhere. In addition to the elasses de- seribed above, we will foeus on “Blaek Jewish Relations,” prepare for Confirmation serviees, ereate performanees for the eommunity wide Yom HaZikaron and Yom Ha’atzmaut programs, and eon- tinue our popular “Hebrew for Credit” elass. Hebrew High will finish the year with lots of energy, and exeiting Jewish learning. ^ Hebrew High students participated in the Forward4Love project and made orange t-shirts to express their support of positive reiationships for teenagers.
