A Message from Rabbi Krauss |
Dear Parents,
I would like to take this opportunity to wish Mazal Tov to our graduates, and to thank all of those who made this year's graduation so meaningful.
Special thanks to our parent volunteers Marcella Marcus, Susan Tessel, Lauryn Weiser, and Gail Schorr for organizing and tending to every detail with love.
I would like to thank Barbara Sopher and Tami Bezborodko who led the PTC this year. From the Parenting Seminar, to our Yom Haatzmaut celebrations, and the many new initiatives that they have organized, we are indebted to them for their selfless dedication and devotion to the parents, faculty, and children of SAR.
Acharon acharon chaviv, thank you to all of our faculty for enriching, caring for, and teaching each and every child in their care throughout the year.
Best wishes to you and your children for a healthy, productive, and rejuvenating summer. Please encourage your children to daven and learn Torah every day. We look forward to greeting everyone back at SAR in the fall.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Binyamin Krauss

*Graduation: Messages Mi'Dor L'Dor*
 On Wednesday, June 16th, the graduating class of SAR Academy gathered at the high school where galleries of photos: "Then and Now" and "Mi'Dor L'Dor" graced the walls. "Then and Now" captured students, some beginning in our ELC's 3-Year Nursery classes through to the present. Mi'Dor L'Dor presented photos of grandparents and their involvement in the programming at the Academy. The excitement of the evening was reflected in the festive decorations adorning SAR High School, including banners and an arch of balloons shaped into the words: "SAR Class 2010".
 Our exceptional eighth grade class donned beautiful blue and white gowns. Following their processional, they stood tall on the stage of the High School singing Star Spangled Banner and Hatikva. After Spencer Waxman, member of the Board of Trustees and Barbara Sopher, PTC Co-President, greeted the students and their proud family members and special guests, "Messages Mi'Dor L'Dor" was presented. Included in the evening's performance was a daglanut (flag choreography)presentation, a boys' dance, and the eighth grade band accompanying the beautiful cantata our students wrote on the Mi'Dor L'Dor theme.
 "Honored rabbis, families, teachers and friends," Aerin Rosenfeld said as an introduction to the cantata, "on behalf of of my classmates I welcome you to the graduation ceremony of the class of 2010. We invite you tonight, to look back with us over our formative years here at SAR, and share with us a review of some of the pivotal messages we have received from generation to generation, mi'dor l'dor. Some of these messages have come in the form of advice from beloved parents and grandparents. Some of these messages have jumped off the pages of our chumashim and neveim. Yet other messages we have absorbed from the words of our teachers, and finally many we have whispered to one another, especially these last few weeks, as we realized we were soon to leave. Our messages range from what we recognize as old fashioned "words of wisdom" to the hopes and dreams we hold for the next generation of graduates."
Later in the cantata Max Slepian said, "We would like to pass a message on to the next generation of 8th graders: try to be role models for the rest of the school. Try to be people that the younger kids can look up to. Future 8th graders should always be ready to step up and help out whenever they are needed. We all need to try to be kind to one another, and as Rabbi D always says, to use every opportunity possible to make a Kiddush Hashem." The presentation also included the students' version of Shim Craimer's song, "Nashir B'Yachad". They sang: "How could we have known? How much we have grown? How quickly that time has passed us by. So many happy years and now we shed our tears. Who knew how hard it would be to say goodbye?"
Class representatives, Anna Ballan and Yishai Chamudot addressed the SAR Class 2010. Rabbi Krauss inspired the newly graduated eighth grade class saying, "With freedom comes responsibility. Jews were told this at Har Sinai after they were freed. A free person makes choices, a free person has to confront their questions, and sometimes realize that the answers may be far from us. But we need to try to answer them nonetheless. Our graduates realize the power of freedom. Use your freedom," he told the students, "to choose life, to ask questions, to provide answers."
 Just prior to the Recessional, each student received a diploma and a gift from the school, which was given in memory of Mr. Edward Lang, z"l.
Thank you to everyone who made this evening spectacular: Deganit Ronen-Creative and Musical Director, Ali Bloom-Logistical and Artistic Director, David Glazer-Band Director, Gilad Mor-Technology Director, Rabbi Shalom Schlagman-Boys' Dance, Avia Dahan and Shira Shterental-Flag Choreography.
A huge MAZAL TOV to the eighth grade class! You have left your messages for future graduating classes to come!
*From Our Fellows*
Dear Parents,
During the year, we taught Ivrit, we led activities on Eretz Yisrael and Judaism, and we had the privilege of meeting great children. From the first day of school, the students accepted us with warmth and excitement. In every class or activity, they fully participated and wanted to learn more. We had the pleasure of meeting amazing students and staff. We had a truly special experience being at SAR this year!
At SAR, everyone loves and supports Eretz Yisrael. We learned from the SAR teachers how to educate children while communicating love and belief in their students' abilities. We hope we succeeded in teaching the students Ahavat Ha'aretz, Ahavat Ha'am, and a bit about Israeli culture.
We wanted to say thank you for all the help, caring, hospitality, and open hearts you have shown us throughout this year. Thank you for a great havaya (experience).
We hope you will keep in touch with us. We will all check email at fellows5770@gmail.com. With gratitude, The Israeli Fellows 5770 Yael Citroen, Avia Dahan, Tamar Elitzur, Avi Farkash, Hadar Granitza, Shira Shterental, and Avital Wachtel
*Musical Theater*
 This spring, the Musical Theater After School Class offered to students in grades two, three, and four, took on the challenge of writing their own showcase to perform for their family and friends. Through group games, scene work, and writing at home, the girls developed a funny and heartwarming collection of scenes and stories about their lives: how they've made friends, risks they've taken, family vacations, and how they got their names, accented with the telling of their favorite jokes. Unprompted, some of the girls even wrote a song complete with lyrics, music, and choreography, which they then taught to the rest of the group to perform together. Under the direction of Stacy Horowitz and the musical direction of Emily Quintana, the show speaks to the energy, humor, and uniqueness of this fabulous group of actors, playwrights, lyricists, composers, and choreographers. Enjoy the lyrics to their original song below: Musical Theater, the song.
I WAKE UP THURSDAY MORNING (THURSDAY MORNING)
AND I KNOW IT'S MUSICAL THEATER (MUSICAL THEATER)
THE BELL JUST RANG, THE SCHOOL DAY'S OVER (SCHOOL DAY'S OVER)
I WALK UP THE STEPS TO MUSICAL THEATER (MUSICAL THEATER)
THE FUN'S JUST BEGUN IN MUSICAL THEATER (MUSICAL THEATER)
STACY DIRECTS WHILE EMILY ROCKS OUT THE MUSIC (ROCKS OUT THE MUSIC)
WE DO PLAYS, SONGS, AND GAMES IN MUSICAL THEATER (MUSICAL THEATER)
WE GET SCRIPTS AND DECORATE THEM (DECORATE THEM)
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO IN MUSICAL THEATER. YA! |

*SAR Kids Play Soccer For Fun And For Charity*
This is part of the June 10, 2010 online edition of The Riverdale Press.
By Jason Eisenberg
Riverdale held its first-ever "Kick for Neve Michael" charity soccer tournament, on the outdoor turf field located behind the school building. The purpose of this friendly competition - which featured 115 fifth- and sixth-graders from SAR - was to raise money for Neve Michael, an emergency crisis center and village that houses hundreds of orphans and at-risk children in Israel.
"There are certainly many organizations that are deserving of support in the New York area, but we are also pro-Israel at this school, so I really wanted the students here to connect with the kids over there and see that they are not so different," said SAR teacher and school psychologist Rafi Muller, who created and organized the event. "I knew the World Cup was coming and that the kids would have fun with this concept. Plus soccer is a huge sport in Israel."
A total of 16 teams took part in the event, with eight sixth-grade teams competing in separate boys and girls tournaments on one afternoon and then eight fifth-grade teams following suit the next day. Each squad played three 12-minute round-robin games, one against each of the other teams at their grade-level, before the teams with the two best records in each group met in a championship match. The World Cup theme was incorporated into the event by having each team represent a different country, ranging from England, Argentina and Brazil, to Chile, Mexico and France.
In order to participate in the tournament, each kid was asked to raise at least $25, but most of them brought in much more. Some helped sell special "Kick for Neve Michael" bracelets, others found family members or neighbors willing to sponsor them and a few even hosted a lemonade stand. In total, Mr. Muller estimates that the event brought in more than $8,000, which nearly doubled his original goal.
"I first discovered Neve Michael during my trip to Israel last summer. They have a school on campus and help so many kids by providing counseling, transportation, clothes, food and most importantly, a family atmosphere," said Mr. Muller. "Never at any point did they ever ask me for money, so I think they will be blown away when they find out how much we raised."
For their hard work, all of the participants got to enjoy a fun day of soccer as well as free pizza - donated by Judean Hills on Riverdale Avenue - after the games. "It did not matter whether you are good or bad at soccer today, because win or lose, we were still helping other people," student Meredith Greenstein said.
While enjoying their pizza, a group of students that included Riverdalians Gavi Smith, Jonah Amron and Ariel Smith, as well as Jeremy Berger and Eitan Hain, all agreed that the best thing about the event was that it combined soccer with charity work. "We saw a video from the kids at Neve Michael and saw their faces, so I knew this was a very big mitzvah," said sixth-grader Adina Noble. "Everybody always thinks that doing good deeds is not much fun, but today we showed that it can be fun."

| Chanting From The Heart . . . | *Learning Trup*
Third graders were privileged to study the taameh hamikrah from Rabbi Krauss and Morah Dina Najman Licht during the course of this past year. This was a unique opportunity for the third graders to learn a new skill that is an important part of our tradition. Rabbi Krauss and Morah Dina each met with two of the third grade classes once a week over a period of six months. In that time, every child learned the names and sounds of each of the cantillation marks. Rabbi Krauss and Morah Dina practiced applying those sounds properly to the words of the Chumash text with their students and the melodious tunes of Torah chanting were soon heard emanating from the third grade area. The third grade teachers, Morah Shoshana and Morah Golda, noticed that the third graders became more accurate readers of pesukim during Chumash lessons as now the students were more focused on the proper places to pause, stop, and emphasize words. A number of parents expressed delight at how their children became enthusiastic and attentive listeners to Torah layning in shul on Shabbat. The third graders took great pride in learning this skill that will enhance their future Torah learning. One third grader added how special it was for her that Rabbi Krauss and Morah Dina took time from their busy schedules to, "teach us something that we will remember for the rest of our lives."

*Third Graders Read Across America*
  Third grade culminated their year-long independent reading program. The students began reading in New York and marked that on a map. As each child finished a reading log, they moved one state west until the entire grade arrived in Washington state. Upon their arrival cross-country, the children brought in books and comfy pillows to enjoy a reading celebration. *4th Grade's Wall of Honor*   In conjunction with the school wide theme of M'dor L'dor, the 4th grade created a 'Wall of Honor' as a tribute to their personal heroes. Throughout the year, they studied a number of Jewish American heroes, including Hank Greenberg, Emma Lazarus, Abraham Heschel and Henrieta Szold. They discussed the attributes of a hero. Some of the traits the children came up with were courage, determination, strength in the face of adversity, and generosity. After completing a biography report on a Jewish American hero, each child chose his or her own personal hero to honor.
The Wall of Honor is a beautiful tribute to the people who have inspired and touched our children's lives. Throughout our study, we have developed a greater appreciation for those who have made our world a better place and the 'heroic traits' necessary to bring about positive change.
We are so proud of our future Jewish American heroes!
*What is a Word Wall?*
 
4X had a party to celebrate filling up their 'Word Wall' last week. All the children contributed new and exciting words taken from their reading books, thesauruses, and also from their parents. They were astounded to have collected 160 words, among them: flabbergasted, incognito, and colossal! At their celebration, they competed in teams to see who could alphabetize the words quickest as well as find their definitions in the dictionary. The children felt such excitement and pride and further appreciated the diverse English language.
*Around The World Goes To India*
On Thursday, June 10, Class 1W had the privilege of hosting Margot Mann, Henry Mann's savta. Margot visited India a few times, and had some beautiful photographs to share in conjunction with first grade's Around the World unit, and specifically, 1W's exploration of India. Margot's Power Point presentation organized photos into different categories: Indian clothing, transportation, and visits to Jaipur and Agra. It included gorgeous and interesting images of the Taj Mahal, a camel pulling a heavy load, a man on a motorcycle with a monkey in the back seat, a van loaded with many, many people, and hospital uniforms out to dry on a laundry line. Margot wore a beautiful, red sari and brought in examples of Indian handicrafts, including a black, embroidered pocketbook, and a few boxes with inlay and intricate carvings. The children had the opportunity to pass around these items and observe and feel the different textures.
Thank you Margot for adding to our students' knowledge about this fascinating culture, and for helping them experience the beauty of India.
*5th Grade Visits Ellis Island*
As a culmination of fifth grade's NYC unit, the students visited Ellis Island to deepen their understanding of the immigrant experience. Prior to the trip the students took an on-line interactive tour of Ellis Island and heard stories of immigrants who successfully passed through Ellis Island as well as the stories of those who were turned away. They studied what life for new immigrants living on the Lower East Side was like. While on the trip, the children saw: the dormitory rooms stayed in by those who were detained, the Great Hall where people lined up, and an exhibit illustrating the kinds of medical and mental examinations potential immigrants had to take. On this picture perfect weather day, fifth graders then enjoyed a picnic lunch overlooking the Statue of Liberty.
*4W's Birkat Yaakov Cookies*
This past Friday, 4W enjoyed baking cookies in the shape of the shevatim's (tribes) flags in order to mark their learning of the blessings that Yaakov gave each of the shevatim before he died. They studied the bracha of each of the shevatim in detail, learned the words of the brachot using songs, and investigated the colors and symbols of each of the shevatim's flags. For example, the children learned about the partnership that will exist between Zevulun and Yissachar. Zevulun will be successful in business and will use his wealth to support the Torah learning of his brother Yissachar. Zevelun's successful parnasah, livelihood, is symbolized by a picture of a ship on his flag, since he will be a trader in the seas. Baking cookies was also connected to 4W's curriculum in Ivrit, since they have been learning about extra-curricular activities, one of which was baking.
The children displayed great creativity in forming their cookies, using the dough and the sprinkles to bring the symbols of the shevatim to life. What a fun and memorable way to conclude learning Sefer Bereishit!
Thank you to Eran Ginzburg for taking the time to help with this beautiful project.

*"A Chesed Is Something You Do When You
Don't Expect Anything In Return"*
 Adrianne Goldberg Meller came in to speak with the third graders on Monday to introduce a chesed project. Each student was asked to bring in a gently used book (preschool-5th grade level) to donate to enhance a rolling library at a NY hospital. In class, they decorated bookmarks and dedicated their books to send together to the rolling library. "A chesed is something you do when you don't expect anything in return." Adrianne explained to the students. "You are sending these books and bookmarks and not expecting any reward or gift in return." She explained that the students would decorate the bookmarks, either one side or both sides, with words, a message, or a design, and then they would laminate them and send them with the book. In the inside cover, each student wrote his or her own name as dedicators of his or her book. The children brought their books from home, many they had already read, or a sibling had read and liked, and they hope other children will like them as well. The bookmarks spoke to each student's uniqueness: some wrote the title of their book on it, others drew rainbows, or stars and lines, or houses. Some decorated the bookmark vertically, others horizontally. In addition, students suggested their own act of chesed that anyone can do like: "Hold the door open for someone else, Invite someone to dinner, Visit someone who is sick". Some of their suggestions may get chosen for next year's Kindness-a-Day Calendar. Fifth graders are looking forward to participating in a similar project on Monday.
Chesed projects such as these are something the classes of 2013 and 2015 do every year under the guidance of Adrianne in memory of her son Zack Meller, Yechezkel Pesach Yehuda ben Shlomo haLevi v'Chana.

*How Does A Garden Grow?*
 
On Thursday, June 10th, the four-year nursery classes traveled to the Bronx Botanical Gardens to see the flowers and creatures of spring. The children enjoyed hands-on experiences while there. Some children attended a workshop in which they observed the natural world as it reawakens for spring as well as the cycle of the butterfly and the role of butterflies in the garden. In another workshop children explored the question: How does your garden grow in spring? They then helped to clean up after winter, added fresh compost, planted vegetables, and looked for flowering bulbs.

*8th Grade to Washington*
by Avidan Grossman
 As a grade, we saw many sights, toured many famous landmarks, and cherished the valuable remaining experiences that would make up our final SAR memories. It was hard to enjoy the Washington attractions to their full extent, knowing that these were our last moments as SAR Academy students, but nevertheless we enjoyed the trip immensely, and will truly look back on those happy, concluding moments with content smiles on our faces.
Previously, the SAR Academy eighth grade also visited the capitol of another country, Ottawa, Canada, on a grade-wide Shabbaton. Although the end of our junior high days were not as numbered as they were in Washington, we still felt a melancholy pang of sadness, that all good things must come to an end, and that indeed, we would be going off to Washington, and then to our next adventure as high schoolers. Even though the two trips varied in terms of attractions, and tourist sights, our grade once again found a way to come together and enjoy ourselves. We sang, ate, and laughed together, delighted that SAR presented us with such an amazing opportunity to grow and mature as a grade. Coming home, back into our mundane lives once more, was a let- down from the ruach and spirit that presided over the whole weekend, and as we forced ourselves to begin our regular lives as students once more, our minds constantly wandered back to the  spirituality and unity of that amazing weekend in Ottawa. Although we have not yet had the chance to ponder and reminisce over the memories we created over our Washington trip, I have no doubt that we will find the experiences as moving, and spiritually uplifting, as Ottawa was; and when looking back on our last trip as SAR Academy students, we will not only remember the old times affectionately and warmheartedly, but will look ahead to the future positively as well.
Thanks for the memories SAR Academy Class of 2010; it has been a blast. |

"Take A Deep Breath"
By: Jessica Major Grade: 3
Parshat Chukat features the famous story of Moshe and the rock. It all started with Bnei Yisrael in the midbar, where there was no water. So, they started to protest against Moshe and Aharon. They were very angry that they were taken out of Egypt to come to this evil place, "hamakom harah hazeh", only to not have any water to drink, "umayim ain lishtot".
Hashem commands Moshe to bring water to Bnei Yisrael. He tells Moshe to take his mateh - his staff - that he used to perform the miracles in Egypt. In Egypt, he used the staff to strike the rock to get water. But now, Hashem told Moshe to actually speak to the rock that had given water in Egypt in order to get water.
But Moshe got very frustrated with Bnei Yisrael's behavior. Bnei Yisrael was very impatient and whiny.
So, Moshe decided to just strike the rock instead of talking to the rock. He didn't listen to Hashem's commandment. But only a trickle of water came out after he struck the rock the first time. So, Moshe struck the rock a second time, and then tons of water came out. And everybody drank from the water. Hashem then said to Moshe and Aharon that they would be punished for not listening to Him. It says, "Because you didn't believe in Me", you will not be able to bring Bnei Yisrael in to Israel.
However, maybe it wasn't because Moshe didn't "believe" in Hashem that he was punished. Moshe always believed in Hashem. Perhaps Moshe was punished with this terrible punishment of not being able to go into Israel because he didn't behave the right way, the way a leader like Moshe was supposed to behave. It seems as if Moshe became frustrated and angry by Bnei Yisrael's complaints and temper tantrum. And that he lost any control over his own anger and patience.
And this was why Moshe got punished. He let his frustration and anger get the best of him, and just lost control of himself. Hashem was very disappointed in Moshe's reaction, and wanted Bnei Yisrael to learn how important is it to stay calm, take a deep breath and not become frustrated. One of Hashem's midot is "erech apayim"- Hashem is slow to get angry. He doesn't get angry fast and gives everybody many second chances. Hashem expected much more from Moshe. Hashem also expects all of us to not get angry quickly because we are all supposed to try to behave nicely and patiently - in the ways of Hashem because we were all created in the image of Hashem. |

| Calling All Art Lovers! |
 Learning to Look is an Art History/ Fine Arts program that teaches the basic elements of art to young children. This is a unique opportunity for parents and grandparents to be involved in the classroom through five teaching sessions during the year. No prior art history or teaching experience is necessary - only a love of art and a desire to instill it in our children. Before each class there is a lecture to aid volunteers in teaching the selected material. Volunteers may request a day of the week and time that they prefer to teach and then work in teams of 2 with the same class throughout the year.
Next year children in Kindergarten through 5th Grade will study Modern Art, learning about Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Miro and Chagall.
If you are interested in learning more about this program and volunteering please contact Tami Weitzman (917-449-2620/tami@weitzman.us) or Sarah Zitter Milstein (917-445-8757/sarahzittermilstein@yahoo.com). |
| Skippy's Team-20 Supporters | | Dear Friends,
Skippy's Team-20 friends, neighbors, and supporters of Stephen "Skippy" Lubofsky-are training to participate in the 2010 Jarden Westchester Triathlon, to be held on Sunday,September 26, 2010, as members of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training program. Stephen was diagnosed last year with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a form of cancer of the blood and bone marrow. He recently completed participation in a clinical trial of a new drug-AC220-overseen by Dr. Mark Levis at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. As a result, Stephen is now scheduled for bone marrow transplant at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Dr. Levis' research at Johns Hopkins is one of several research projects pertaining to AML that receives funding from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. All funds raised by Skippy's Team will be restricted to the Society's Acute Myelogenous Leukemia research portfolio. Since 1949, LLS has raised millions of dollars to fight blood cancers such as lymphoma, leukemia, myeloman, and Hodgkin's disease. The dramatic improvement in managing blood cancers and improving the quality of life and surviving of blood cancer patients is due in great part to consistent public education, fundraising and generous donations from the community. The mission of LLS is to raise the funds needed to improve the quality of life of cancer patients and we are excited to be a part of something so genuinely positive and reassuring at this time! And so we are asking for your help! Every donation will help. Please help support our team! Click on this link right now to make a donation to Skippy's Team
Give whatever you feel comfortable giving and thanks in advance for your support and generosity! We need your support to cross the ultimate finish line-to find a cure for AML! Thank you so much!!!·
