SCHOOL NEWS Yom Hazikaron Program By Tali Kobrin, 7th Grade This year, I, along with thirty­nine other seventh and eighth grade students, participated in the annual Yom Hazikaron tekes. The program included telling the stories of fallen soldiers and singing songs that connect to their stories in a meaningful way. The students who chose to be part of this program have the opportunity to select their general role (singing or narrating) and then they are assigned a portion of the speaking or solo/harmony in a song. Each student also participates as a member of the tekes choir. I loved watching the tekes in the audience when I was younger, and this year, it was more special to be an active part of it. Preparing for and performing in the tekes required a big time commitment, and it took a lot of practice and hard work, but it turned out beautifully. During the final performance, Cheryl Mandel, the mother of one of the fallen soldiers who we spoke about, was present. She told us afterward that it was the most meaningful memorial service she had ever been to. I was honored to be one of the people that made that happen for her and for everyone else watching. We performed an abbreviated version of the tekes for Grades 1­3, and the full program for Grades 4­8. Afterwards, chayalim spoke to the students in Grades 1­3 while Cheryl Mandel spoke to the 7th and 8th grade students. It was a meaningful day for everyone throughout the school. Click here to watch the Yom Hazikaron tekes. SAR Yom Ha'atzmaut Celebration On Tuesday, we had an incredible day at SAR, celebrating 69 years of Medinat Yisrael's independence. The day began as our 3rd graders led the entire school in Hallel under the guidance of David Glazer, the simcha throughout the building was palpable and our strong connections to Israel were deeply felt. After davening, all students and faculty in the ELC through 8th grade joined together on the field for a chagiga and a daglanut performance by some our 6th graders. Student representatives from Grades 1­8 told the story, "Are You My Capital?", based on the popular children's book "Are You My Mother?". It was quite amazing to see so many SAR students gather around an Israeli flag as we honored them for their upcoming aliyah. Middle School students performed and competed in Beit Sefer L'Musika for students in Kindergarten, Grades 1­2 and 6­8. Kol hakavod to all of the students who participated in Beit Sefer L'Musika and mazal tov to our winners, 7th graders Eitan Feinberg, Benj Rosen, and Ben Wechselblatt. Click here to watch Beit Sefer L'Musika. While 3rd and 4th grade engaged in internal programming that included activities about Israeli art and music, an interactive timeline, and gadna (army "training"), 5th grade enjoyed their own Maccabiah, 1st and 2nd grade participated in flag making, an obstacle course, and Israeli dancing, and Middle School students spent the afternoon at Tibbetts Brook Park. After the morning chagiga on the field, the ELC had their own Yom Ha'atzmaut festivities throughout the day as well. K3 invited all of the other Kindergarten classes to have an Israeli restaurant experience, where students could order various invited all of the other Kindergarten classes to have an Israeli restaurant experience, where students could order various Israeli foods at a reserved time in the "restaurant". The entire ELC also enjoyed a musical Yom Ha'atzmaut tekes later in the day. We concluded the day with beautiful singing by the choir, and then we all joined together to sing Hatikvah­­a perfect way to end such a special and meaningful afternoon. Thank you to the teachers for leading our students throughout this day, which was full of simcha and substance. Special thanks for Ailie Schmulowitz, Adina Steinberg, Sarah Heller, David Glazer, Shany Ohayan, and Orna Goldszmidt for planning and coordinating every detail of the day. We continued our Yom Ha'atzmaut celebration with the entire SAR community at our annual BBQ in honor of Rabbi William Z. & Eda Bess Novick z"l. Everyone enjoyed delicious food, music, dancing, face painting, and a photo booth! Many also participated in the Gift of Life bone marrow drive! Lastly, we dedicated the SAR Academy Teachers' Room to Lillian Levine, z"l. Mrs. Levine was a beloved former SAR staff member, mother of Academy faculty member Marilyn (and Sandy) Gordon, Philip Levine and Harold Levine and grandmother of Dov Gordon (AC '96) and Yehudah (AC '99) Gordon. At her desk in the Teachers' Room, Lillian tended to the needs of generations of students and faculty by nurturing their hearts and souls.

In honor of the fiftieth year since the reunification of Yerushalayim, the Afikim foundation is writing a Sefer Torah that will be donated to ZAKA. This Torah is unique in that every letter is being sponsored by acts of lovingkindness. Organizations throughout the world are participating in this project. SAR Academy has reserved a block of 920 letters and the acts of chesed in honor of this Torah have already begun to be performed. Teachers are discussing this initiative in their classes, and the students have responded with enthusiasm. Take a look at the SAR page, and you will see that there are individuals who have committed to helping grandparents for Pesach, visiting residents at the Atria, and helping fold the laundry. This Torah will be dedicated on Yom Yerushalayim. You can sign up to sponsor a letter and commit to an an act of chesed by clicking here.

After a ruach­filled chagiga on the field with the whole school, we headed back to our class, which our morot had transformed into different cities in Israel! We visited Tel Aviv, where we built skyscrapers; Ramat HaGolan, where we pressed grapes and made grape juice; Eilat, where we went fishing; Jerusalem, where we used blocks to build a model of the city; and the Dead Sea, where we painted with water colors and added salt to our paintings. We learned so much about each city we visited on our tour! We continued celebrating in the afternoon, when we enjoyed a tekes filled with lots of singing and dancing. What an amazing day! A Fun and Meaningful Day in K1 This week the children of K1 had the opportunity to celebrate the Jewish homeland, Eretz Yisrael. We learned that Yom Ha'atzmaut is actually Israel's Independence Day, since although it was promised to Avraham Avinu and the Jewish people long ago by Hashem, over the years many other nations ruled over the land. After a vote in the United Nations, the independent state of Israel was created. In celebration of 69 years of this beautiful country, we learned about the land (the desert, green mountains, and even snowy peaks all in one tiny landmass) and the flag (the stripes to remind us of a tallit and the Magen David fashioned after the star in King David's shield).

We explore the notion of commemorating in the wider American context, and expand on this to discuss Israel’s Remembrance Day, and what it means to commemorate from a distance. Goals : • The students will grasp the challenge of commemorating the fallen from a geographical and psychological distance. • The students will be challenged to assess the role of a mourner from afar • The students will explore the meaning of being connected to Jews they have never met • The students will explore various ways of moving beyond the obstacle of distance, allowing North American Jewry to connect to Remembrance Day • The students will be challenged to draw closer and connect to the fallen soldiers in Israel, despite the distance • The students will be given the opportunity to design their own program to mark Israel Remembrance Day Outline : Part 1 : Trigger exercise In the first part, students will participate in drama exercise to introduce the theme of the lesson. Part 2 : Discussion A. September 11 th The students will explore the idea of commemorating from afar by learning about the September 11 th memorial in California, and discussing how they think the tragedy should be marked by those who were not affected personally by it. B. Yom HaZikaron (Israel Remembrance Day) The students will apply their 9/11 discussion to marking Israel’s Remembrance Day and be challenged to think about how they should commemorate the day.

  • Yom Hazikaron and Yom Ha'atzmaut – Israel's
    YOM HAZIKARON AND YOM HA’ATZMAUT – ISRAEL’S MEMORIAL AND INDEPENDENCE DAYS ABOUT THE DAYS Yom HaZikaron , the day preceding Israel’s Independence Day, was declared by the Israeli Knesset to be Memorial Day for those who lost their lives in the struggles that led to the establishment of the State of Israel and for all military personnel who were killed as members of Israel’s armed forces. Joining these two days together conveys a simple message: Jews all around the world owe the independence and the very existence of the Jewish state to those who sacrificed their lives for it. Yom HaZikaron is different in character and mood from our American Memorial Day. In Israel, for 24 hours, all places of public entertainment are closed. The siren wails twice for two minutes throughout the country, first at 8:00 am to usher in the day, and again at 11:00 am before the public recitation of prayers in the military cemeteries. At the sound of the siren, all traffic and daily activities cease; the entire nation is still. Families are gathered in cemeteries and radio stations broadcast programs devoted to the lives of fallen soldiers. The list grows longer every year as Israel continues to labor for its very survival. Flags in Israel are flown at half mast, and the Yizkor (remembrance) prayer for Israel’s fallen soldiers is recited. May God remember His sons and daughters who exposed themselves to mortal danger in those days of struggle prior to the establishment of the State of Israel and (may He remember) the soldiers of the Israeli Defense Forces who fell in the wars of Israel.

The flag includes two blue stripes on white background with a blue Shield of David (6 pointed star) in the center. The chosen colors blue & white symbolize trust and honesty. On the afternoon of Jerusalem’s liberation, June 7, 1967, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan made the following statement from the Western Wall: We have united Jerusalem, the divided capital of Israel. We have returned to the holiest of our holy places, never to part from it again. To our Arab neighbors we extend, also at this hour — and with added emphasis at this hour — our hand in peace. And to our Christian and Muslim fellow citizens, we solemnly promise full religious freedom and rights. We did not come to Jerusalem for the sake of other peoples’ holy places, and not to interfere with the adherents of other faiths, but in order to safeguard its entirety, and to live there together with others, in unity. As long as deep within the heart a Jewish soul stirs, and forward to the ends of the East an eye looks out towards Zion, our hope is not yet lost.

Both monumental events reshaped Jewish history and transformed Jewish memory; thus, each in their own way required inclusion in the Jewish calendar. My focus will be on Yom Hashoah v’Hagevurah, Holocaust and Heroism Days as it is formally known in Israel where it was first established by a resolution of the Knesset. We shall return to the title shortly. Commemoration of what we now call the Shoah, the Holocaust, but what was then called by the Jews who experienced it “the Churban,” began even during the war and most certainly took on a communal character immediately after the war ended in the Displaced Persons (DP) camps of Europe as the remnant that survived, the Shearit Hapleitah used even their first months of freedom to begin coming to terms with what had happened. Though it was clear at that point that the Churban would be commemorated, it was unclear when and according to whose calendar. That is to say, should the commemoration be observed in secular time or Jewish sacred time? The massacre of European Jewry was something that happened day by day for three years and ten months.

  • Significant Times and Dates
    Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar (based on the cycles of both the moon and sun), whereas the Gregorian calendar is only a solar calendar. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon. There are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12- month lunar calendar loses about 11 days every year. To prevent the “drifting” of months and holy days, Hillel II, in the fourth century, established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still in use today, realigned the lunar calendar with the solar years. Holidays of biblical and rabbinic (Talmudic) origin include Q The Sabbath Q Rosh Chodesh—The New Month Q Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Q Aseret Yemei Teshuva—Ten

  • Yom Hazikaron Resources
    Resources and suggestions for Yom Ha’Zikaron ceremonies and programs Opening Remarks Today we commemorate Yom Ha’Zikaron Since the day of declaration, 14 of May, 1948 we have been constantly fighting for the right to live with peace and security in our land. Yom Ha’Zikaron, a day in which we honor those who fell in the struggle to establish and protect the idea of a Jewish state in the land of Israel, is marked during these 24 hours preceding Yom Ha’Atzmaut (Israel’s Independence Day). In Israel, on Yom Ha’Zikaron, the entire nation remembers its debt and expresses eternal gratitude to its sons and daughters who gave their lives for the achievement of the country’s independence and its continued existence. As a result of the many acts of terror against Isreali civilians, the Israeli parliament decided to include the memory of those who were victims of terror alongside those who died fighting them. Yom Ha’Zikaron is a day of collective and personal anguish mingled with awe and honor for the fallen. It is a day on which the living rededicate themselves to the State of Israel, so that they may be worthy of the sacrifice of those who died for its survival. In Israel, Yom Ha’Zikaron commences countrywide with the sound of sirens proclaiming a two –minute silence during which all activity cease. Flags are flown at half mast and memorial ceremonies are held all over the country. PLEASE RISE. Candle lighting Here you’ve got the option to light two candles symbolizing remembrance and continuity.

  • Five-Year Calendar of Major Jewish Holidays
    FIVE-YEAR CALENDAR OF MAJOR JEWISH HOLIDAYS This calendar can assist schools as they schedule exams, field trips, sporting events, graduations, etc. Other organizations and the media might find it helpful as well. An explanation of each holiday follows on the second page. Holidays begin the evening before because a Jewish “day” begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight.
