In Dr Beliak’s class on Sukkot this week, we learned about the shaking of the Hadassim at the end of the chag (holiday). We also learned that Hadas (הדס - myrtle) symbolizes water, because it grows by rivers.
This week we had the visit of Jonathan Lyon during Open Beit Midrash. Jonathan Lyon, parent of alum Hannah Lyon and paper cut artist, not only presented the art of paper cut to us, but also offered a three day workshop to a group of middle school students. Each table took turns presenting what they saw in the pictures that were on our tables and after everyone presented, he told us an interesting story about of one of his paper cuts was based off story of a twin who survived Auschwitz.
