HISTORY HITS

Many of our students have shared their history projects, and we are anxiously awaiting the rest of the presentations.  Our students have done an outstanding job tracing the routes of our ancestors from countries around the world, and we are discovering that antisemitism played a huge role in the displacement of Jews throughout history.

We will begin graphing the points around the world where Jews faced antisemitism, and we will then ask each student to bring in a family treasure with a history to share in our "Living Museum."  This treasure can be a picture, an oral history, or anything else that has a special place in the life of your family. 

Our goal is to reinforce the idea that each of us is connected to generations of the past, and it is our responsibility to take pride in our past in order to preserve our future.
