The Charlotte Jewish News - January, 1998 - Page 12 CHS puts tzedakah into action By Sue Brodsky, Director The Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies par ticipated in two tzeda)«ah pro jects in November and December, The ninth grade “Mitzvot from A to Z” teachers invited a guest speaker from A Child’s Place to talk to the stu dents on the topic of homeless- ness. The students were so touched by the needs of the agency that they took it upon themselves to help out and, consequently, spearheaded a school wide project to collect school supplies for A Child’s Place. You may have' seen a large hannukiah taped to the window outside the CHS office in November and December. Each flame contained a slip of paper describing the needs of a partic ular age child. The CHS Student Council through its project “Hannukah Helpers” was able to provide gifte for sixteen needy Jewish children. The gifts were distributed through Jewish Family Services. The response to the SCHOOL kW) project from the students, par ents, teachers and friends of the Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies was overwhelm ing. We could not keep the flames in the menorah “stocked” fast enough! The items requested were socks, gloves, hats, stuffed animals, age appropriate story books, school supplies, back packs, balls, and other age appropriate toys. The CHS Student Council members were so enthusiastic about the project and the response to it, that they have decided to make it an annual event.

Speaking about Judy Caplan Ginsbui]gh: Cheri Woalfowitz, Early Childhood Director, JCC: “Jewish family conceits like this help to foster children *s Jewish identity.** Debby Block, Director, Charlotte Jewish preschool: **This is music eveiy Jewish child should grow op with!** Lenora Stein, Executive Director, CAJE: ‘TVo thumbs up — Judy*s peifor> mance will have kids, par ents and even grandparents toe-tapping in time to the music.” ZIMRIYA Youth choirs from Temple Beth El, Temple Israel, the Jewish Day School and the Consolidated High School of Jewish Studies treated friends and families to a "feast" of Chanukah songs on December 7. Over 60 students participated in what will hopefully be the first in an annual tradition. Light, laughter and love: learning about Chanukah at Charlotte Jewish Preschool At Chanukah, we light candles to brighten the darkest time of year. Our children glow year ‘round, but they seem especially luminous dur ing the festival of light. Led by Laura Courter and Diane Carter of CreativeKids, our four year olds perform “Applesauce and Latkes” in creative movement class. Then Debby Block, our director, shows them how oil bums brightly, as she retells the ancient story of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Temple. It’s “lots of fiin,” reports Jenna Bernstein, who espe cially enjoys pretending to be a pan cake with her friends Ben Notelovitz and Eli Kronovet. The Maccabee and Me party is popular, too. Parents join their chil- drm to play toss the latke in the pan, and pin the light on the menorah, and before settling down to nosh on frosted dreidel and magen david cookies and juice. When it comes to decorating cookies, our two year olds agree: more sprinkles are bet ter. Holiday crafts keep us busy, too. Three year olds took a mini-field trip to the JCC’s pottery studio to make individual clay menorahs. Their creations were fired, painted, and then brought home and put into service. “Children learn by doing,” says Debby Block. “Making a menor^ lets them celebrate the holiday in their own, unique way,” Light, laughter and love make learning come alive.
