Chagigah began in the evening with "Soup & Salad" and a panel discussion on the subject of "The Power of One", this year's production theme. Panelists were Mrs. Chanie Hendler of the High School, Mrs. Gitti Horowitz of the Middle School, and Mrs. Jacquelyn Sova of Bnos Yisroel. The program continued the next morning with a video and lively dancing. Our Sign Language Classes proudly offered presentations at the program, signing "Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah" and other songs.
The faculty enjoyed a beautiful and delicious Chanukah luncheon, sponsored by Bais Yaakov. Rabbi Shapiro offered an uplifting and motivating message about our work at Bais Yaakov and a wonderful time was had by all.
ASARA B'TEVES ASSEMBLY
The Holocaust, "Churban Europa" was remembered at our annual
Asara B'Teves assembly.
The students watched the a powerful documentary produced by the Rabbi Leib Geliebter Memorial Foundation in conjunction with the Zechor Yemos Olam Division of Torah Umesorah to help transmit the legacy of the last survivors to future generations. The video shown, Monsieur, presents the dramatic story of Rav Yonah Tiefenbrunner, z"l, and the orphanage he established in Belgium during the Holocaust. Child survivors saved by R' Tiefenbrunner recount stories of courage, mesiras nefesh and Kiddush HaShem.
Rabbi Zweig spoke about Mrs. Esther Tendler A"H. This was followed by an unforgettable "first-person" report by Mrs. Hauptman about growing up in her parents' home and the abiding and unique lessons Mrs. Tendler taught by word and example. Yehi Zichra Baruch.
TWELFTH GRADE ELECTIVES
Mrs. Zelinger's ASL Class enjoyed a game of
dreidel using only sign language.
Mrs. Schlein'sSociology class had a wonderful opportunity to learn about government from
Mr. Yitzy Schleifer, Baltimore City Council Member.
DISCOVERY
Discovery presented close up pictures of everyday objects and asked the students to guess what the full picture was. The students found that this is not always easy to do, even when its an object that we see multiple times a day! Discovery showed the students we need to see the full picture in order to speak with 100% honesty and not just share a small part of the truth.
PRESENTATION ON GOVERNMENT AID OPTIONS FOR SEMINARY
Mr. Shmuel Schachter, of
Yeshiva Ner Yisroel, once again presented vital FAFSA information to parents of Twelfth Graders. He clarified the process that would enable their daughters to receive government aid for college credits while studying in seminary in
