The Charlotte Jewish News - Septemt>er, 1996 • Page 10 CHS Focuses on Respect for 1996-97 by Sue Brodsky, Director September is in tlie air, bringing new students, new classes, new beginnings and a new year. Imagine that you can see the magic box I am holding in my hands. It is very beautiful and very special, and it can con tain anything we want. I would like for each student, teacher and parent at the Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies to imagine that he or she can put one thing into my magic box— one thing that would enable us to have the best year we’ve ever had. Into the magic box, I would put the formula for respect. In order for us to have the best year possible, we have many things in place—a wonderful faculty, interesting courses, and students and teachers who enjoy the com- raderie of being together for learning and sharing. If we add respect what an incredible school we would have! Teachers need to respect students, students need to respect their fellow students and their teachers, all of us need to respect each other’s religious dif ferences, and we need to learn to be inclusive rather than exclu sive. Parents need to respect their children and their changing needs, and students need to respect their parents and recog nize the real concern that parents have for their children. We can achieve the atmos phere we seek in our school. We can do it if we are all working in the same direction to achieve our goals. We can do it without a magic box—because what we need to put into the box can be found within ourselves. 1996-1997 Annual CAJE Membership Application Individual/Family Memberahip TChaim’ Basic Membership “Lamed Vav”-nik “Mensh"-en “Honorable Mensh'-en $ 16 $ 36 $ 50 $100 Additional Contributions (CAJE Conference Scholarstiip Fund) $ Total Enclosed S Please check one: _ Renewal Membership _ New Member NAME: ADDRESS: CONGREGATION/SCHOOL: —. , PHONE) FAX( E-MAILADDRESS: . 1996 -1997 CAJE Annual Fee Effective July 1,1996 - June 30,1997 Mail reply to: CAJE, P.O.

The Charlotte Jewish Preschool is jointly sponsored by Temple Beth El and Temple Israel. “We are both proud and fortunate to have the rabbinical and cantorial staff at both tem ples actively involved in the everyday lives of the preschool ers, as well as in our special events throughout the year.” said Debby Block. “It teaches the children that the Rabbis and Cantors are special teachers who are accessible on their level. The parents and teachers greatly value the time these very busy professionals spend at our school.” CJP will have 146 students enrolled for the 1996-97 school year, a school record. Board President Linda Hindel com mented, “We are thrilled that CJP is growing so rapidly. The Preschool is often the first oppor tunity young Jewish children have to learn about their religion and culture in a social setting. We also welcome the new members of the professional staff at both temples and look forward to their joining the preschool family.” PIANO TEACHER Master’s Degree in music will teach ages 5 and up in my home or yours.
