Yom Hashoah was commemorated with a live stream to the
community event where the JLL committee read names of people
that perished in the Holocaust and recited poetry followed by a
personal story from Rafi Ress, as well as the symbolic lighting of the
candles.
For Lag b'Omer we had so much fun hanging around the bonfires
at break, listening to music and roasting potatoes and
marshmallows
The “One Deed Campaign” was launched for the 40 days of Elul. All
the students received a bracelet reminding them to do at least 1
good deed a day from Rosh Chodesh Elul until Yom Kippur. It was
launched with a cool music video.
Every Friday we had a parsha shmooze in the JLL Lounge with a
story of the Parsha and yummy treats run by the informal JLL
department.
We joined the leadership of King David as well as other Jewish
schools around the country and held a virtual challah bake for the
Shabbos Project. During the latest Israel conflict, all the schools
made a video message showing their support for Israel.
This year instead of prayers on a Friday morning, we had Kabbalat
Shabbat at the end of the day. Unfortunately, this had to be online
because of Covid however, we hope that everyone learned the
Shabbat songs and left school feeling inspired on a Friday
afternoon,
All of this was showcased on the JLL Instagram page which was
constantly updated for JLL events.
This year couldn’t have been possible with the rest of the Formal
and Informal Team consisting of Rabbi Cannon, Mrs. Daitz, Rafi,
Kaelly and Josh. A big thank you to them as well as the committee
for all they have done for JLL.
We would also like to thank Herzlia for giving us this opportunity to
increase the JLL spirit and ruach in the school!
Wishing the new JLL team much החלצהב.
