Participants experimented with games, role playing, text study, outdoor sensory activities, and meditation with expert facilitators from Facing History and Our selves, the Good People Fund, and Better Together providing the training and materials. “I enjoyed engaging with actual programs we can bring to our students,” said Melissa Schreiber of Buffalo, NY’s High School of Jewish Studies. The participants also toured the Civil Rights Museum and the Blues Hall of Fame, as well as Beale Street. “The Civil Rights Museum was incredibly powerful,” said Sarah Harlan, di rector of the High School of Jew ish Studies of Louisville KY. “Once again, the NAACCHHS conference reinforced the quality of our program, made me aware of cutting edge strategies and cur ricula available for teen learners, and helped to create a chevra of like-minded educators who will be available to our school long after the conference is over,” Roz commented.

Join over 200 Jewish women and bake Challah together just in time for Rosh Hashanah. We will be baking for ourselves plus one extra for Jewish Family Services to distribute. The halachic definition of chal lah is a reference to a positive Mitzvah. It entails separating a section of dough from your knead ing and giving it to a kohen. This piece of dough is called “challah.” Any dough which is made of wheat, barley, spelt, oat, or rye is obligated in this mitzvah. Biblically speaking, the mitz vah of challah is observed only in the Land of Israel. Furthermore, according to most halachic author ities, the mitzvah of challah was a requirement only in the times of the Temple. Today, no Temple, no challah. But the rabbis reinstituted the practice of challah — even outside the Land of Israel — to commemorate this special mitz vah. Jewish women through the centuries knead homemade dough, and then separate a piece of the dough and burn it. All kosher bakeries do the same — they separate a piece of dough from each batch, and throw it on the floor of the oven. Ballantyne JEWISH CENTER ckfliHE When the challah is separated a blessing is recited. This is a spe cial time to ask God for anything that you need, blessings for your family, friends, and community. Imagine what we can accomplish by joining together with over 200 Jewish women to make challah and say the blessing. Thursday, September 22, 7:30 PM at Lemer Hall. $25 per per son.
