The fast day of Asarah B’Teves, on Tuesday, December 14, gave members of the Israel Awareness Committee of SKA a special opportunity to deepen their understanding of emunah and Jewish unity. Accompanied by Mrs. Elisheva Kaminetsky, SKA Principal, Judaic Studies, and faculty member Ms. Sara Meira Weissman, the IAC students were invited to hear from Mrs. Bat Galim Shaer, the mother of kidnapped and murdered Gilad Shaer a”h, who spoke about the secret of Jewish survival. Gilad was one of the three boys in Israel who was killed in June of 2014 after being kidnapped by terrorists. The Asarah B’Teves event, held at the Young Israel of Woodmere and coming after a weekend of neighborhood tragedy, gave depth to what emunah and Jewish unity really entail.

Seniors in the Names, Not Numbers program interviewed Holocaust survivors this week. It was both an emotional and educational experience for our students to engage with Holocaust survivors, document their stories, and learn life-long lessons from them - we should never forget. Now that the filming is complete, our students will begin editing these films, with the guidance of Rabbi Josh Strulowitz, and welcome the survivors back into the Central building for a feature film presentation at the end of the year.
