TIR HAPPENINGS

6th Grade Work on Display at Yom Hashoah Commemoration

The TIR 6th grade Holocaust studies unit this year included a substantial emphasis on survivorship. In partnership with Naomi Mirensky of JFCS, TIR students provided artwork and creative writing for the 2nd edition of the Holocaust Haggadah: From Bondage to Freedom. TIR students heard Bob Fisher's story first hand and based on what they heard, wrote a moving song with music teacher Jennie Vick, Holocaust: Always Remember! They studied the Passover symbols of Pesah (shankbone), Matzah (unleavened bread) and Maror (bitter herbs) and the song Dayenu through the lens of the Holocaust and wrote reflections. After hearing a meditation on the journey from slavery to freedom, students painted watercolors. Onto ceramic tiles students painted connections of Passover and the Holocaust. View their work at the Yom Hashoah Commemoration at Temple on Sunday, April 27 at 4:00 p.m. 

7th Grade Bake Sale

Sunday, 4/27 11:30-12:30 p.m.

As part of their unit of Kehilah Kedusha - Holy Community - the 7th grade learned about the need to create, develop and contribute to Jewish foundations/organizations in their community. During their studies, the 7th grade went through the steps needed to create a charity including deciding on a cause, developing a mission statement, creating a logo and creating a fundraiser. As a culmination to their unit "Living a Jewish Life: Building Foundations", the 7th grade will be hosting a Bake Sale on Sunday after TIR.  The monies from this fundraiser, in addition to the Tzedakah they collected this year, will be donated to the Friends of Israel Disabled Veterans.
