Grade 2 Dazzles at Chumash Presentation

Grade 2 students wowed onlooking family members, as they put on an broadway-like Chumash presentation this morning. While singing, dancing and performing their lines in Hebrew, the students showcased the stories of creation, Parshat Lech Lecha, and Rabbi Akiva. This extraordinary event, was not only an opportunity for parents to see all things their children are learning in school, but also to celebrate a very important milestone in the life of any Jewish person: receiving their first Chumash.  

Last year, in Grade 1, these students received Siddurim from Scheck Hillel. These two consecutive presentations enrich students’ lives and reinforce the foundation of traditional Torah values upon which they will grow and learn throughout their Scheck Hillel careers. Giving every student his or her own Siddur and Chumash to keep for a lifetime is a demonstration of the meaningful religious and cultural experiences that our school's mission outlines, so we as a school community may instill strong Jewish identities in our youngest generation.

Thank you to Grade 2’s morot - Rachel Levana, Jessamyn Olson, Ofra Sharabani, Samantha Bernstein, Janet Kopel, Meytal Miara, Sande Gruskin, Sara Goldman and Michelle Kalusetksy – and to orchestra teacher Ms. Linda Shapanka. And a very special thank you to Mr. Yuval Miara, Director of Judaic Studies & Hebrew Language for our Juda and Maria Diener Lower School.
