Enduring Values • Extraordinary Education Dear Heilicher School Families & Friends,
ne of my favorite Heilicher moments is the Opening Ceremony, when our eighth graders take our Kindergarteners by the hand and usher them into a new school year under the huppah (canopy). It is a high-spirited Ocommunity event filled with the hope and promise of good things to come in the new year. And we have plenty of good things in store. There are exciting developments in Jewish Life, which is one pillar of our Heilicher ‘20 strategic plan.

Joyfully Jewish
BY ETAN WEISS Director of Jewish Life and Hebrew Have you ever seen the face of a child as they have an epiphany and dawn of understanding? The joy is palpable. This kind of pure joy is powerful because it is attached to meaning- making, purposefulness, and a sense of worthwhile accomplishment. Joy in this context is found at the end of hard work, and it is exhilarating.
BUILDING A VIBRANT JEWISH FUTURE At Heilicher, we are setting the stage for joyful discoveries every day. This is the essence of why we do what we do. We are building a vibrant Jewish future by inspiring confident, competent, and compassionate students who purposefully engage the world through their Jewish lens.

Our boys’ confidence, sense of self, and positive Jewish identity has been the greatest gift of Heilicher.” —Alumni parents Suzanne Fenton and Dan Lieberman

Heilicher Core Values The Heilicher experience is built on the foundation of 10 Jewish core values which come to life in the hallways, classrooms, and all-school activities.
“All Jews are responsible for one another.” (Shavu’ot 39A) Our community is one. We respect each other’s differences.
“And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Leviticus 19:18) We should treat others the way we want to be treated, with caring, kindness and respect.
“Guard your tongue from evil.” (Psalms 34:14) We must be careful how we speak and what we say to each other. Words can be kind and caring or hurtful and painful to others.
“And if not now, when?” (Avot 1:14) The time to learn is now, the time to help another person is now; the time to care for our environment is now; because if we put it off, it may never happen.
“And you shall not wrong, nor oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 22:20) We must be welcoming of strangers for once we too were strangers. It is a mitzvah to welcome guests.
4 real, lasting change that works to solve and resolve their issue. These are just a few of the initiatives to deepen the impact of our Jewish Studies and Hebrew program that will adeptly prepare our graduates to be the Jewish leaders of the future, poised to pass on Jewish values to the next generation. One of our core values is Lo Aleha, “It is not up to you to finish the job. Neither are you free to withdraw from it.” (Avot 2:16.) While we know our work will never be done, we can all rest assured that our ultimate, attainable goal will be realized: joyfully Jewish students who are confident, competent, and compassionate engaged citizens. Our true joy is guiding their process.
Emma B-F with her handmade afikomen (Passover matzah) cover. “A highlight of our Pesah evening was the sharing of our daughter’s ritual object [created at Heilicher]... It now sits displayed among our other heirloom ritual objects and is looked at admiringly. She felt such pride in sharing her accomplishment among our guests. The benefits of her involvement in this program will be felt for years to come.”
—Heilicher parent Liba Zweigbaum Herman
Heilicher Core Values The Heilicher experience is built on the foundation of 10 Jewish core values which come to life in the hallways, classrooms, and all-school activities.
“And you should judge the entirety of a person favorably (kindly).” (Avot 1:6) Give people the benefit of the doubt and don’t jump to conclusions.
“A mitzvah leads to another mitzvah and a wrongdoing leads to another wrongdoing.” (Avot 4:2) When we do something to help another or perform a mitzvah, it leads to other good deeds. When we do something wrong, it leads to other wrong things as well.
“It is not up to you to finish the job. Neither are you free to withdraw from it.” (Avot 2:16) People cannot do things completely on their own. We need to work together. Just because we think we cannot finish something, doesn’t mean we should not start and try to complete the task. Words can be kind and caring or hurtful and painful to others.
“The world stands on three things: the study of Torah, service to God and deeds of loving kindness.” (Avot 1:2) We value the study of Torah, prayer and acts of loving-kindness; helping and caring for each other so we become better individuals and a more respectful community.
“Make for yourself a mentor and get yourself a friend.” (Avot 1:6) It is important to respect and learn from our teachers and our friends. We also need a good friend to help us in our learning.
hmjds.org | 5 Our Heilicher Kehilah (Community)
BY GIGI S., MOLLY S., AND LAUREN V. (HEILICHER ‘18) Heilicher is a great school for many reasons. We can’t fit them all in this limited number of words, but we will try. At Heilicher, we have a special קהילה /bond that makes us a kehilah (which means community). We build our kehilah in many ways, including weekly Friday all-school lunch. Last year everyone was assigned a table with at least one person from each grade and a teacher. Most students will stay at the same table together for all nine years at Heilicher. All-school lunch is one way our community is developed. There are lots of advantages to being in a small school that help us learn and make us a stronger kehilah. Teachers care about us and know us individually. They ask about our families and are genuinely interested in our lives. We get lots of one-on-one time with teachers so (L to R): Recent Heilicher graduates Gigi S., Molly S., and Lauren V. we can learn better, and it is a lot more like the teachers are talking to us instead as we get older.

6 Heilicher Highlights
CLOCKWISE, STARTING TOP LEFT Mike Miller, Joel Carter, Sue Ostfield, Aimee Orkin, and Charles Lieberman enjoyed an evening celebrating Heilicher at the Annual Benefit reception at Beth El Synagogue in March. Heilicher eighth grader Gigi S. explains the process of creating a life-size, interactive tzedakah box. The Tzedakah Box project was a school-wide, collaborative STEAM activity that challenged students to design and build based on certain parameters. The seventh- and eighth-grade tzedakah tree was revealed at the Annual Benefit. Four friends showed their team spirit at the school-wide Maccabi Games in June. Four color teams participated in friendly competition in sports and outdoor games. A happy band of Heilicher families and employees marched in several parades this summer, including Grand Old Day in St. Paul. Colorful sea creatures sang and danced in the seventh- and eighth- grade musical, Little Mermaid, Jr. Students not only took to the stage, but designed the costumes, built sets, ran the lights, and produced a documentary film about the experience. Heilicher honored retiring faculty Elly Becker, Hani Galili, and Yefet Zadaka with gifts at the 2018 Annual Meeting. We wish them all a very happy retirement!
