Color War Excites & Unites
|
|
This week was Color War at TABC and the school was jumping with ruach.
This year the team themes were: Freshman - Tannaim and the MLB; Sophomores - Amoraim and the NHL; Juniors: Rishonim and the NFL; and Seniors - Achronim and the NBA.
The two days of activities included skills competitions, sports, board games, cake decorating and 4-way competitions. In addition to the many "classic" activities, this year's Color War featured many new competitions, including: human foosball, a talent show, poetry slam, history bee, kan jam, spike ball, family feud, spelling bee and debate. With such a variety of activities, the generals and captains of each grade were able to ensure that there was something for everyone.
Additionally, groups from each team decorated rooms reflecting the theme of their team, displaying tremendous creativity, originality and teamwork. The day concluded with banner , Stomp and song presentations. It was an incredible show of both grade spirit and school unity. Mazal tov to the senior class for its victory in this year's Color War.

Mrs. Shavelson's English 11A:
Everyone Loves Norman Rockwell
|
We all love those old Norman Rockwell sketches of the 1940s and 50s, both sweet and hokey, that jettison us into a nostalgic (even then) America of family, community, and all kinds of fun and plenty: images of children sledding, building clubhouses in the backyard, sitting around the Thanksgiving table overflowing with turkey and all its trimmings, or maybe just being mildly naughty and getting caught (perhaps with a conical dunce cap in the corner). You know the pictures. You might even find characters innocently sipping strawberry phosphates at the corner drugstore if you're lucky. The most beautiful and endearing parts of The American Dream played out on canvas.
Then there's Edward Hopper, dark, dour Edward Hopper, an artist of the same time period, whose oil paintings -- most famously
Nighthawks
-- familiarized students of English 11A with the devastation and destruction of that American ideal. Hopper's characters stand apart, isolated, alone even when they're together.
On the backdrop of this iconic American art, we read Arthur Miller's
Death of a Salesman
, in which we see these Hopper-esque characters brought to life, and of course, to their respective ruins, foils to Rockwell's cast of characters, and fodder for students' own imaginings of The American Dream.

| Rabbi Jachter Visits Law Class |
This past Tuesday Mr. Ehrlich invited Rabbi Jachter to address his Contemporary Issues in Law class about the halachic approach to civil disobedience. Rabbi Jachter discussed classic sources and applied it to the intense debate regarding disobeying Israeli government orders to evacuate a Jewish community. The presentation was well-received and students look forward to further opportunities to experience the intersection of Torah learning and secular studies.
