Our ninth Book Day at Torah Academy of Bergen County this past Wednesday revolved around the star of our book
Spare Parts, four undocumented teenagers, one ugly robot, and the battle for the American dream. Oscar Vazquez, who charmed both students and faculty with his humble demeanor and philosophy of always wanting to "be better." His emphasis on the gift of opportunity in this country and the importance of education that a person brings with him wherever he goes was inspirational. You can watch a video of his speech
here.
Robotics and immigration were the main topics of the day, beginning with a keynote address by Mayor Michael Wildes, who emphasized compassion when dealing with immigrants, based on the historical experience of Jews everywhere. You can watch a video of his speech
here. This was followed by workshops given by outside presenters on the legal journey from immigrant to citizen, technology and prosthetics, Mexican culture and food, innovation in Israel and the Iron Dome, and even a session on making your own comic book. Of course, our own faculty presented the topic in novel ways, with jeopardy immigration games, underwater robotics contests, discussions on Alexa, halachic perspectives on immigration and the stranger, as well as sessions on group work, bullying and empathy. A lively student-led session discussed the current immigration problem from different perspectives.
We have now celebrated nine Book Days at TABC, but both our former librarian Mrs. Leah Moskovits and English Chairperson Dr. Carol Master, organizers of the event, as well as the students they spoke to agree that this Book Day was not only exciting but exceptional.

TABC Storms Capitol Hill at AIPAC
|
This past week TABC had the honor of being represented at the annual AIPAC Policy Conference by one of the largest high school contingents participating in the event. Twenty of our boys, accompanied by Dr. Prager and Rabbi First, were immersed for two and half days in a broad range of lectures, panel discussions and general sessions. Highlights included addresses by Secretary of State Pompeo, Vice President Pence, Shlomo Gantz, live telecast with Prime Minister Netanyahu, members of Congress, lobbying with Senator Cory Booker and Congressman Josh Gottheimer. This year's Conference took on extra special meaning and urgency as we learned Monday morning of the Hamas rocket attacks on Tel Aviv and in the south of Israel. Lightening things up a bit was a special presentation on Monday night by the co-creator of "Fauda" with a behind-the-scenes look at the genesis and making of this blockbuster TV series.

The Roaring 20's in Room 1
|
This week, only those juniors who knew the "password" for entry, were able to step back in time and meet some very famous people, while partaking in stimulating refreshments and conversation. Mrs. Cary Reichardt, chair of our history department and her colleague, Ms. Marita Poline, collaborated on a creative and enjoyable project in order to familiarize their students with important people of the 1920's.
Each student took on the role of a famous American of the Jazz Age and researched their life and views on certain issues Initially, the students reported on their research with an essay. Then, the fun could begin!
On Monday, March 25th, room #1 became a speakeasy for the day. Students came in "dressed to the nines" as their chosen character (as did their teachers, proprietors of the speakeasy). Guests were seated in small groups and urged to discuss their characters' views on various issues, such as: The Red Scare, Prohibition and the Scopes Trial. Mrs. Reichardt and Ms. Poline stopped at various tables throughout the room to "eavesdrop" on some conversations, in order to assess the level of preparation and effort put forth in the project by each and every student. Many dignitaries including Rabbi Yablok, Rabbi Adler, Rabbi Bitton, Mr. Poleyeff, and their associates, "crashed" the party in order to meet some of these celebrities, and hear about what put the "roar" into the 1920's.

TABC Featured at
Teaneck Library's STEM Day
|
This past Sunday, TABC students Yehuda Mazin '21, Shai Rosenberg '20, Natan Mendelson '19, Moshe Golubtchik '19, and Yoni Zirman '19, along with STEM Coordinator Mr. Aryeh Tiefenbrunn, presented at the annual NJ Makers' Day at the Teaneck Library. Although this event is annual, this year was the first time a NJ Makers' Day program was held on a Sunday in order to accommodate the Shomer Shabbos crowd. Our students presented projects including an Arduino arcade game, a puzzle that was engraved and cut in our Makerspace with a laser cutter, and 3D printed Mezuzah cases designed by our 9th graders. Additionally, some of the Color War STEM challenge projects were shown, such as the seniors' remote control boats (representing summer) and the juniors' blossoming flower with 3D printed petals (representing spring). The students got very positive feedback on their work, and spent a lot of time discussing their projects with attendees at the event. They also enjoyed exploring other schools' booths and seeing what types of projects are being done elsewhere. Overall, it was a fun and enlightening day that was brimming with creativity and excitement!

Michael Dworkis '98 Helps Needy Jews
 Michael Dworkis '98 a licensed social worker therapist working for Jewish Family Services (JFS) of Bergen County, has made a large effort to make the JFS food pantry accessible and available to the observant Jewish community. Michael has totally overhauled the food pantry to insure high quality Kashrut is observed year round and now especially for Pesach where many families are in need of added support. As the Orthodox professional on staff, Michael has taken upon himself the role of Mashgiach and taking all the necessary steps to insure a high level of Kashrut.
Mr. Dworkis has enlisted his old rebbe from TABC Rabbi Jachter to certify at no-cost the pantry and to sell the Chametz to insure its acceptability for after Pesach use. This past Friday Rabbi Jachter made his first visit to the pantry (see the picture below) and was most impressed. He commented "Michael was always a high quality person during his years at TABC and earned a well deserved reputation for integrity and kindness. We are so proud that Michael continues in this path and is making a great Kiddush Hashem at his job and making a significant positive impact on his community". For more information on the pantry please contact Michael at [email protected].

Triple G Threat Leads to STORM Victory
 The JV Soccer team continued its undefeated start to the season with a 5-1 win over the Kushner Cobras. The Storm's home opener was deadlocked at 1-1 after the first quarter until Eliyah Gershon '22 scored the game winning goal and Benji Grin '21 and Eitan Gulich '22 added insurance goals to put the icing on the cake. The Storm's stellar defensive showing included a second half clean sheet from Liev Markovich '21 and a goal line clearance from Jacob Dahan '21. The Storm will be back in action next week in possibly their biggest test of the season against the Frisch Cougars at the Weather Center.
