During WBBM this week, Bathea James, our head of school, came in to talk to us about what it was like to grow up in South Africa. Bathea talked to us about how growing up as a child she did not go to Jewish day school and how her family was - and always had been, involved in the Jewish community. Bathea also talked to us about her children, and how she made sure that they would attend a Jewish day school. Bathea eventually worked at the King David school, in Johannesburg. Bathea told us about how when she walked into the school on the first day, she saw so many kids singing together it really changed her perspective on Jewish education.
In Dr. Beliak’s Kedusha class, we learned about why Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aharon HaKohen, died when they went into the Tent of Meeting, and all the different opinions and commentaries Rabbis offer on this passage of the Chumash.
