Pesach Fun Day at Gorelick Hall
As a special feature of our expanded Judaica curricu
lum, the third, fourth, and fifth graders at Charlotte
Jewish Day School have been working diligently on
unique projects related to Pesach, Students from these
three grades brought the story of Pesach to life as they
demonstrated and explained their projects to one another
and to the other CJDS .students.
Each of the third grade Judaica students created a pres
entation depicting one aspect of the Passover Seder.
Dioramas, day models, and posters were used to demon
strate the fifteen steps of the Seder. The fourth graders
were assigned to five different groups to explain the his
tory of Pesach to the rest of the school. Using tape record
ings, posters, and games, the.se talented students shared
the story of Pesach with the rest of the CJDS .students
with their projects, including Seder Plate, Seder Waiters,
Calendar, Storytellers, and Chametz-Busters. Fifth-grade
Judaica students became world-famous inventors as they
created such Pesach “machines" as chametz vacuum
cleaners, maror choppers, “Passover in a Can” meals, and
special eyeglas.ses that allowed them to see the coming of
Elijah the Prophet at the Seder feast.
Also included in the program were
opportunities to distinguish between
chametz and non-chametz food products,
as the students learned how to read labels
to search for ingredients that make the item chametz.
As the students moved from station to station, they
designed beautiful and unique sand art pictures of matzah
and the ancient city of Jerusalem, then manufactured their
own charosot as they chopped apples and walnuts to mix
with cinnamon aitd grape juice, as a special treat to share
with their parents.
Each year, our Judaica programming becomes more
exciting. This year’s event presented the Pesach story in
a unique and most informative way that was easily under
stood and enjoyed by students of all ages. O

Mask
I apply the makeup to my face;
To society I must abide.
But what is it that I cover up?
Is it my true beauty that I want to
hide?
I wear this mask day by day,
Coating and glossing until I
shine.
I conceal what I naturally have.
Why must I disguise this beauty
of mine?
1 buy more and more as I
run out—
Blush, mascara, and eye
shadow galore.
I have so much, but it’s
never enough.
Do I have any reason to
go to the store?
I see my actual face in
the mirror
As I take my mask off
every night;
But in the morning, I reapply.
Why do I hide my face from pub
lic sight?
I watch television and see a
movie star
With her fancy clothes and a
beautiful mask.
What is she really hiding under
neath?
Would she show me if I were to
ask?
I apply the makeup to my face;
To society I must abide,
But what is it that I cover up?
I wear a mask, but do 1 still have
my pride? ^
