November 20, 2015 Parsha Vayetze 8 Kislev 5776 Light Candles 4:26 pm Have a Thankful Thanksgiving Our Successful Me character and leadership program shapes the learning environment of every child who attends Hebrew Day School. It is rooted in Appreciation: Seeing Hashem’s Blessings. With Thanksgiving next week, we want to encourage every family to enjoy one another. The noted Israeli psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar writes the following:

"There are treasures of happiness all around us and within us. The problem is that we only appreciate them when something terrible happens. When we become sick, we appreciate our health. When we lose someone dear to us, we appreciate life. We don't need to wait. If we cultivate the habit of gratitude we can significantly increase our levels of happiness. Research shows that people who keep a gratitude journal, who each night before going to sleep write at least five things for which they are grateful, big things or little things, are happier, more optimistic, more successful, more likely to achieve their goals, physically healthier; it actually strengthens our immune system. We become more generous and benevolent toward others. This is an intervention that takes three minutes a day with significant positive ramifications."

Happy Thanksgiving Rabbi Simcha Weiser, Headmaster In This Issue: Enthusiasm for Community Building Calendar 2 As our Penny War came to an exciting finish this week, the biggest takeaway is the enjoyment felt by our students knowing they were working to help someone in need, and experiencing the strength of community connection. Unfortunately, it Parshat Vayetze 3 is often only when tragedy strikes that people today feel connected to one another. Through ongoing programs such as Penny War and the daily activities of our Klamer “Game of Life” Student Leadership Council, every student at The Soille Scene 4-8 Hebrew Day knows what it means to belong, to feel for others, to put into practice Jewish values and learning, and the taste of happiness from knowing that Preschool News 9 you have the ability to light up a dark place in the world.

Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School Kolenu November 20, 2015 - 8 Kislev 5776 Parshat Vayetze OVERVIEW: Parshat VaYetze (Gen. 28:10 – 32:3) Fleeing from Esav, leaves Be'er Sheva and sets out for Charan, the home of his mother's family. After a 14 year stint in the Torah Academy of Shem and Ever, he resumes his journey and comes to Mount Moriah, the place where his father Yitzchak was brought as an offering, and the future site of the Beit Hamikdash. He sleeps there and dreams of angels going up and down a ladder between Heaven and earth. G-d promises him the Land of Israel, that he will found a great nation and that he will enjoy Divine protection. Jacob wakes and vows to build an altar there and tithe all that he will receive. Then he travels to Charan and meets his cousin Rachel at the well. He arranges with her father, Lavan, to work seven years for her hand in marriage, but Lavan fools Jacob, substituting Rachel's older sister, . Jacob commits himself to work another seven years in order to also marry Rachel. Leah bears four sons: Reuven, Shimon, and Yehuda, the first Tribes of Israel. Rachel is barren, and in an attempt to give Jacob children, she gives her handmaiden to Jacob as a wife. Bilhah bears and Naftali. Leah also gives Jacob her handmaiden , who bears and . Leah then bears Yissachar, Zevulun, and a daughter, Dina. Hashem finally blesses Rachel with a son, Yosef. Jacob decides to leave Lavan, but Lavan, aware of the wealth Jacob has made for him, is reluctant to let him go, and concludes a contract of employment with him. Lavan tries to swindle Jacob, but Jacob becomes extremely wealthy. Six years later, Jacob, aware that Lavan has become dangerously resentful of his wealth, flees with his family. Lavan pursues them but is warned by Hashem not to harm them. Jacob and Lavan agree to a covenant and Lavan returns home. Jacob continues on is way to face his brother Esav. (C) 2015 Ohr Somayach International

DRASHA: Rashi comments regarding the opening word of this Lavan’s home over the next decades will cause him to become week’s Torah reading that when a righteous person departs from rich and powerful. In a rare moment of candor, Lavan admits to a community, the loss is noticeable and is damaging to that Yaakov “that the L-rd has blessed me because of you.” community. In most instances, the community or even the righteous person’s own family and friends, pay little attention to All of history indicates the blessings that have occurred to his or her presence while the person is amongst them. It is only countries, empires and civilizations simply because the Jewish when that person is no longer with them, does their true value people resided in their midst. Nevertheless, this realization does and mettle become apparent. And then it is usually a case of too not prevent anti-Semitism and violence against Jews from being little, too late. justified and encouraged. Lavan is the perfect paradigm for this warped behavior. He knows that his success is a result of Yaakov’s Yaakov is a low profile person in his community. It is Eisav who presence in his home and yet he pursues Yaakov and hopes to makes the headlines, gives the interviews and media somehow destroy him. appearances. He is the outside man while Yaakov is quiet, studious, private and not obtrusive. But communities, especially This paradoxical type of mindset is abundantly and clearly visible in the Jewish world, are built upon the righteousness…..the quiet in our current world. We are cursed by others not for our actions Yaakovs and not on the bombast of noisy Eisavs. but simply because we have the temerity to exist. Good people were not allowed to live in Sodom. Jews are not to be allowed in I have often commented that the evil cities of Sodom and the Land of Israel.

It is therefore sad that the value of such good people is noticed most significantly Shabat shalom. Rabbi Berel Wein © 2015 only by their departure and absence.

Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School Kolenu November 20, 2015 - 8 Kislev 5776 The Soille Scene Penny War Has Ended… But its effect will be enduring! (Reuben Klamer “Game of Life” Student Leadership Council) Penny War is over. But our good work has just begun! For over three and a half weeks the students of Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School, Preschool through 8th grade have been working hard, in a very creative way, to raise money for a worthy cause. Penny War, which has become an annual school tradition blends the efforts to raise Tzedaka (charity) with some healthy competition to add extra motivation! Second through Eighth grades competed to get the most pennies and the most points! There were faces of joy as students day by day brought in pennies and placed them in their own boxes. The anxiety on the faces of students, as other grade level students added nickels, dimes, and quarters to their boxes was palpable. Who will win? Will we raise enough money to help out Israelis who have been scarred by war and terror? Will these funds brighten their Chanukah this year? After a nail biting competition and an amazing staff of students, the war has been won! Yes, the 8th Grade has won the Penny War! Yes, the 3rd grade won for most pennies contributed! Yes the 1st grade won their Tzedaka War with Kindergarten! BUT, all grades are winners! Together we raised over $1300 in Tzedaka and that money will go toward the ONE FAMILY FUND in Israel. So, students and parents of Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School, in essence we all won the war! By working together to raise an enormous amount of money for our brothers and sisters in Israel who have been hurt by war and terror, our school has made a big difference for them during this meaningful time of year! The best way to give Tzedaka is anonymously and we as a school can feel proud that we have achieved another year of anonymity and excellence! Yashar Koach to everyone! Special thank you goes to the Reuben Klamer “Game of Life” Leadership Council for all their hard work and effort on behalf of this war. A very special thanks to Mr. Ray Mills and Mr. Jermaine Dawson, who helped on a daily basis with the progressively heavier cart loaded with your change that will soon change the lives of those in Israel! Thank you to Beth Licha and Estelle Workman for all of their hard work and effort to publicize this worthy cause to the entire school community and beyond! And lastly, to Jackie Dino for all of her efforts, exchanging bills for rolls and helping tie up all loose ends! Your efforts are so appreciated and Student Leadership Council extends their thanks to all of you!

Second Graders TAKE A HIKE! With lots of zest the second graders endured a one mile hike through four ecosystems at Mission Trails Regional Park on Thursday. They were most excited to locate poison oak on the trail but thankfully did not get too close! As part of their geology unit the students learned a cute song about the three types of rocks at the beginning of the morning. Then they followed Rangers Dean and Chris through a trail in which they could examine a metamorphic rock, laurel sumac and lemonadeberry shrubs with their magnifying glasses. They collected soil samples along the way and then used magnets to retrieve the minerals from them. They learned about living, biotic, and non-living, abiotic things found in all ecosystems like water, air, soil and sunlight. The students were real troopers as they endured warm temperatures and slippery rocks under their feet! They definitely enjoyed their lunches outdoors after their challenging hike!

Hebrew Immersion Program in Preschool The Preschool's revolutionary Hebrew Immersion Program has proved to be an enormous success! Morah Odeya works with a small group of children to build up their conversational Hebrew using tools such as repetition and song. The kids are quick to pick up on their Morah's teaching and have become more autonomous by the day. They sing their welcome and goodbye songs (Shirei Shalom) with no help and jump at the chance to introduce themselves in Hebrew without assistance! This past week, the class' focus has been colors and parts of the body. Through art, music, and games, the children have formed a bond with one another and have become more familiar with Hebrew.

“Bach to the Future: Orchestra Blast-Off” Hebrew Day 5th graders attended a San Diego Symphony concert in conjunction with the Air and Space Museum. This special student performance featured a scientist talking about the moon, stars and Space Station while the orchestra interjected space songs. The students also learned about how the Underground Railroad followed the Big Dipper and North Star to find their way, and they loved learning and singing the song, “Follow the Drinking Gourd.” A highlight of the performance was when the orchestra played the theme to “Star Wars” and a storm trooper came out on stage.

Fifth Grade Star Weavers Return to Fourth Grade The fourth graders learned to weave this week for a social studies project to help them learn about Native Americans. The weaving project is difficult to begin as all the fourth graders need careful instruction all at once. Mrs. Adams requests parent help for this project every year for that reason and this year all the fourth grade parents were busy. Star weavers from last year, Lia Ellis and Ella Raz, came to help teach the project. Not only did Ella and Lia weave beautiful baskets last year, they also proved to be wonderful teachers. Mrs. Adams was very impressed and grateful.

Fourth Grade Navajo Speaker The fourth grade entertained a special guest this week to help them understand how some Native Ameri- cans live modern lives today. “King” visited their classroom. Originally from Four Corners Arizona, where he grew up on a Navajo reservation, King left the reservation to attend Arizona State University. He began by introducing himself in Navajo and then kept the fourth graders’ attention for a half an hour while he talked about growing up on the reservation. He gave details of their prayers, traditional Navajo homes, cer- emonies, foods, and interesting legends including monsters and demons! He saved ten minutes at the end of his speech for questions and the fourth graders discovered that we share many values with the Navajo in- cluding respecting elders, respecting nature and one of the most important values: when speaking, be very careful of others’ feelings.

Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School Kolenu November 20, 2015 - 8 Kislev 5776 Preschool News This week’s rich parsha of Vayeitzei provided ample material for our preschool children to learn in many ways. The Hummingbird class read about Yaakov’s marriage to Rachel and children from Leah using puppets and a family tree. Then, they were offered the chance to reenact the parsha in costume! Our Dragonfly class introduced Thanksgiving and the importance of expressing gratitude. They also prepared for Chanukah with music and song. The Frog class, still busy exploring the creation story, focused on the rainbow’s colors with Dress-Up Days and interactive projects like making rainbow bottles.
