Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School November 20, 2015 Parsha Vayetze 8 Kislev 5776 Light Candles 4:26 Pm Enthusiasm for Commun Soille San Diego Hebrew Day School Paula Tannen Preschool 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 Reuben 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.

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, Leah. Jacob commits himself to work another seven years in order to also marry Rachel. Leah bears four sons: Reuven, Shimon, Levi and Yehuda, the first Tribes of Israel. Rachel is barren, and in an attempt to give Jacob children, she gives her handmaiden Bilhah to Jacob as a wife. Bilhah bears Dan and Naftali. Leah also gives Jacob her handmaiden Zilpah, who bears Gad and Asher. 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.

  • Joseph: Authentic Leadership Forged in the Crucible
    JOSEPH: AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP FORGED IN THE CRUCIBLE Melody Smith Authentic leadership, a relatively new leadership theory, helps fill the need for principled and trustworthy leaders. Issues of integrity, values, and care for others are emphasized, aligning well with biblical foundations for Christian leaders. Of special note is the role of major life events or crucibles, referring to some transformative experience or hardship which tests a person’s limits, but also provides the means of personal growth, empathy, self-knowledge, and deeper reliance upon God. Joseph exemplified authentic leadership in practice and through years of life-changing hardship. Through his own values, self-control, compassion, and sense of purpose, he earned the trust of high officials, and even more importantly, he was found trustworthy by God, who was consistently blessed his leadership. I. INTRODUCTION On December 5, 2018, Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of George H. W. Bush, provided a eulogy at President G. H. W. Bush’s funeral (Foussianes, 2018, para. 1). He eloquently spoke of President Bush’s character: “His life code, as he said, was: ‘Tell the truth. Don’t blame people. Be strong. Do your best. Try hard. Forgive. Stay the course.’ And that was, and is, the most American of creeds” (Foussianes, 2018, para. 12). Such life codes speak of integrity. They speak of those vital internal character qualities of trustworthy leaders. According to Meacham (2015), President Bush might justify political compromise during campaigns, but always aimed to be “principled and selfless once in command” (Meacham, 2015, p. xxv). Meacham continued, “And as Journal of Biblical Perspectives in Leadership 9, no.

To me, the most amazing thing about this story is that it's about human beings — like all of us — who mess up but aren't left alone. As we see forgiveness and redemption unfold for a fractured family, we can celebrate grace. As Andy Stanley wrote, "Grace is not reserved for good people, grace reveals the goodness of God" (The Grace of God). The fresh musical score, which blends styles such as country western, disco, French ballad, and rock and roll, offers a perspective that the story of Joseph is as timeless and real for us now as it has been since it first appeared in Genesis. Enjoy the show, and most of all, celebrate with us the "story of a boy whose dreams came true!" — Rebecca Baker Please silence all electronic devices.

  • Joseph Programme.Pdf
    SYNOPSIS Our story starts about three thousand years ago in Canaan in the household of Jacob and his twelve sons. Joseph is Jacob's favourite son, and to show his love for Joseph, Jacob presents him with a fabulous multicoloured coat which is the envy of all his brothers. Joseph tells his brothers about the strange dreams he has been having, which he interprets to mean that he will become much more important than all the rest of his family. Understandably, his eleven brothers are angry and jealous and they plot to get rid of their brother. One day in the desert they seize him and sell him to some passing Ishmaelite slave traders, taking his torn coat to Jacob to persuade him that his favourite son has been killed. Joseph, meanwhile, is sold to a rich Egyptian called Potiphar. He works hard and is quickly promoted, but is seduced by Mrs Potiphar and consequently thrown into jail by his master. There Joseph meets two other prisoners, a royal baker and butler. He successfully interprets their dreams, and word of his unusual gift reaches the ears of Pharaoh, who has himself been plagued by nightmares. Joseph is summoned to a royal audience and tells Pharaoh that his dreams foretell a great famine. He advises Pharaoh how to avert this crisis and in return Pharaoh makes Joseph his royal adviser, second only to the king. Meanwhile, in Canaan, Jacob's family are hit hard by the famine and Jacob sends his remaining sons to Egypt to beg for food from Pharaoh's mysterious new adviser.
