EIGHTH GRADE RECOGNITION DINNER
One of the highlights of the end of the year for our graduates is the eighth grade recognition dinner. This year's event took place on June 5. The students entered the beautiful ballroom at the Sephardic Temple. The tables looked magnificent with beautiful balloon centerpieces. First there were hors d'ouvers. The students and faculty loved the little hot dogs and potato knishes etc. After the appetizer, Rabbi
Hecht and Mrs. Schneider introduced the program. The first component was to celebrate all of the chessed that this class has done. Mordechai Strauss spoke about the importance of chessed and different things that the students have done. After each student received his/her certificate of completion of their chessed hours, dinner was served. Next there was some fantastic ruach. The music and dancing were out of this world. The second part of the night included a paragraph about each student. When their name and picture flashed on the screen they came up and listened as a faculty member extolled their virtues. All of the students were there to support each other. The evening concluded with dessert, a video depicting some memories of the class of 2017 and maariv. Thank you to Mordechai for speaking and to Jacob DiGiacomo, Mordy Goldberg, Shoshana Levine, Emily Keehn, Atara Klein, and Mordechai Kupferstein for putting the videos together.
