Dear Parents,
We continue our unit on Jewish Detroit. Studying the
challenges in Eastern Europe and finding Religious Freedom and Economic
opportunity in the United States, specifically Detroit Michigan. The children
took on the rolls of different immigrants and learned that they left Europe not
knowing a word of English, but were
willing to work hard and be a full citizen and joined the U.S. Army.
Our learners also studied and analyzing the poem
"The Butterfly" by Pavel Friedmann. He was born January 7, 1921, in
Prague and deported to Terezin , a Nazi concentration camp. The students
analyses and compared the poem to the story of Passover. They came up with some
amazing analogies. We will culminate this project with a display that will be
presented to CSZ and can be viewed before Passover in the Synagogue Lobby.
Our class has lots of exciting experiences coming up this
month.
I hope to see you all this weekend as we celebrate the
holiday of Purim here at CSZ both on
Saturday night and Sunday during religious school.
Shabbat Shalom,
Cillia Kleiman
