Hello 7th Grade Families,
I hope all of you enjoyed your Passover holiday. After our
break, we got back into our Tuesday night unit on social action and
responsibility. We watched a video (using our brand new interactive projectors)
that explored the issue of world poverty. We explored questions such as: if
there are so many wealthy countries and wealthy people around the world, why is
there poverty? And what does our Jewish tradition teach us about our
responsibility to “break the silence”? We explored Jewish texts and had stimulating
discussion.
Next Sunday we will be delving into issues related to the
Holocaust, setting the stage for our trip next Tuesday to the Holocaust
Memorial Center. We encourage all of you to join us as this will be an
invaluable opportunity to have a guided tour around the museum with Fred
Findling (Charlie’s grandfather) sharing with us his survival story. It should
be a powerful experience, and we hope to see you all there.
Have a wonderful weekend and Shabbat Shalom… and Go Wings!
David and Erin
