Then, the children with their parents parcipated in three different workshops which took place in the first and fi h grade areas. The areas were decorated to reflect the excitement for numbers. The beauful number bond buerflies, fact family houses and huge numerals hanging from the ceiling were all created by the first graders. The workshops included various games and math topics that were taught within the classroom. The children (and parents) were challenged to employ math thinking skills to parcipate in the mostly child- generated games at the various staons. Parents had an opportunity to purchase some fun math games to connue the learning at home. The first grade team would like to thank Morah Marci Kirshner for her dedicaon and incredible organizaon of the Math Fair.

Morah Gaby began by reminding the class that when they were in Kitah Alef, they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Egypt when we were slaves?" and she explained to them that no, she was not. Then they asked, "Morah Gaby, were you in Israel in 1948?" and she explained that no, she was not. But, when they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Israel when we got the Kotel back?", she proudly explained that yes, she was in Israel for that incredible miracle. Morah Gaby told the class that since so many Israeli men were serving in the army during that me that teenagers had to help with important jobs. Morah Gaby helped deliver the mail! She explained that at first it seemed impossible that Israel would ever be aacked. In school, they even sang songs about how our enemies would stay far away from Israel. But, then Israel was aacked by three very large countries all at once. Morah Gaby remembers going to school on the first day of the war and everyone was talking about the bale. In Israel, everyone knows someone who is serving in the army. By the me the first day of the war was over, Morah Gaby said that she realized she was living through a miracle. The Israelis had destroyed the enre Egypan Air Force. Morah Gaby explained that it did not maer if you were very religious and davened every day or if you were not religious and never davened, she said that throughout the war every single Israeli was discussing the great miracles that Hashem was doing for Am Yisrael. With tears in her eyes, Morah Gaby told the the third graders that she sll gets goosebumps when she hears a recording of the announcement that came over the radio when the Israeli Paratroopers reached the Kotel: "Har HaBayit BeYadeinu!"

  • Fantastyiccprogram-Calendar-2018
    a message from the factory ceO This year we have chosen as the theme for our Program Calendar, The FantastYICC Chocolate Factory . One might think that this is a colorful and charming theme; but in truth it is much more. It reflects the Jewish approach to teaching Torah. Every morning we begin the Shacharit service with blessings called Birkhot HaTorah. Among the blessings we declare l,ru , hrcs ,t ubhvkt ‘v tb crgvu – “ Please, Lord our God, make the words of Your Torah sweet in our mouths. ” The 18th century rabbinic thinker and prolific author, Yaakov Emden, noted that this is a pragmatic request. We pray that Torah will be sweet for everyone to enjoy, making it universally desirable among all Jews. A number of years ago, on a visit to our Shul, the President of the Los Angeles Jewish Federation, Jay Sanderson, remarked how impressed he was that children come over to me on Shabbat to receive lollipops. He exclaimed that encouraging children to come to their rabbi for something sweet will guarantee the future of our people. He further ruminated, “We also need lollipops for the adults so that they too will be excited by their Judaism.” It is our hope that in this Program Calendar, filled with exciting and stimulating programs, many of which are appearing for the first time, you will find the sweetness of Torah that will stimulate your thought and expand your Jewish education. It is our intent that our outstanding array of speakers, as well as all our diverse programs, will challenge your mind and engage your heart.

  • Friday Church News Notes
    VOLUME 18, ISSUE 51 WAY OF LIFE DECEMBER 22, 2-17 FRIDAY CHURCH NEWS NOTES LOOKINGSPECIAL FOR ANNOUNCEMENT! A MAN OF PEACE Did you pray for your national and local leaders this week? For Americans, this means ANDpraying A for SUPREMEPresident Donald Trump and thePROBLEM U.S. Congress and state and SOLVERlocal leaders. In Jewish tradition, the building of the Tird Temple is associated with the coming of the Messiah. According to Maimonides (Rambam), the highest rabbinical authority, any Jew that starts rebuilding the temple is a potential Messiah. Shimon ben Kosiba was considered a Messiah in the second century when he led a revolt to recapture Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. He was named Bar Kokhba (“Son of the Star”) based on the Messianic prophecy of Numbers 24:17, and a coin was struck depicting the temple with the ark of the covenant inside and the Messianic star on the roof. By this tradition, it is simple to see how the Antichrist will be looked upon as the Messiah. In an interview in Jerusalem a few years ago, a Reformed Jewish rabbi told us that the Messiah will come when things look really dark and will establish peace and build the temple. A representative of the Temple Institute said the same thing: “We are waiting for a Messiah. In Jewish tradition, we believe that in every generation Simon bar Kokhba on the there is someone who can be the Knesset Menorah Messiah. Te question is who will he be. Te answer is only someone who does specifc things can be called the Messiah.

  • Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue
    c Yigal Morag and Artvision Company Shalom Al Yisrael Synagogue On the mosaic floor of the ancient synagogue "Shalom Al Yisrael" one can see a seven-branched Menorah. To the right of the Menorah there is a Shofar and to the left, a Lulav. Underneath the Menorah is written "Shalom Al Yisrael" (Peace upon Israel). This synagogue's mosaic is special, in light of the fact that no human being or animal appears in it. This ancient synagogue is located in Jericho and was established in the late 6th/early 7th century. There are other opinions that it was established in the 3rd century, during the time of the Jerusalem Talmud. The synagogue was discovered during an archaeological dig in 1936. The synagogue received its name on account of the large mosaic floor that features the picture of the Menorah, and from the writing "Shalom al Yisrael". From which time period is this Menorah from? Where does the Menorah feature in the synagogue? c REUTERS The Menorah from the Digging at Migdal – Synagogue from the Second Temple Period An ancient synagogue dating back to the Second Temple period was discovered during archaeological diggings on the Migdal shore. A large stone engraved with a seven-branched Menorah is located in the middle of the synagogue. The ancient synagogue is large and contains stone benches and a mosaic floor. It is thought that the artist who engraved the Menorah on the stone saw the Menorah with his own eyes in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to the research in the field, this Menorah is the most ancient one known of.

  • The Menorah to Rome
    Gallery: Menorahs at the Temple, at the Knesset, and at Home King Antiochus plunders the Second Temple Menorah, 169 BCE (Courtesy of the Library of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America) The Arch of Titus — 70 CE The Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem after a four-year battle ending in 70 CE and carried off the Temple utensils including the menorah to Rome. The stolen menorah was probably the one fashioned by Judah the Maccabee in 164 BCE for the first Hanukkah, since the earlier menorah had been plundered by Antiochus IV. The Arch of Titus was built in honor of Titus in 81 CE after he had already become the Roman Emperor. (An engraving by Francois Perrier 1695, after the bas-relief on the Arch of Titus) The Menorah — Into Exile and Back Home The Symbol of the New State of Israel, 1949 CE. 228 Ben-Gurion and the Cabinet Return the Menorah to Jerusalem Cartoonist A. Navon, portrayed the transfer of the Knesset from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, 1949, as a reversal of the famous procession of Titus removing the menorah from Jerusalem two thousand years ago. David Ben- Gurion, identifiable by his balding head and bushy white hair, and Golda Meir, the only woman in the picture, are carrying the new symbol of the State of Israel, a menorah designed to resemble the captured menorah on the Arch of Titus in Rome. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion’s pose recalls King David who brought the ark up to Jerusalem (circa 1000 BCE) accompanied by musical instruments like the shofar and the flute.
