The World is Built with Chesed    Psalms 89:3  

"Everyday I can proudly say I see acts of loving kindness at King David. For the past few weeks our school community has been energized by a renewed awareness of the many forms of chesed performed within these walls and out in the community by our students."                                                           Russ Klein, Head of School

   

Last week, our school buzzed with a different look (no uniforms), level of activity and sound. This week's newsletter shares some of the remarkable activities that took place, many led by Grade 12 students with guidance from Shoshana Burton, Michael Gunion and Cheryl Buckman.

Shabbat Dinner and Learning with Old Friends!
Reconnecting!
When asked to participate on the career panel I couldn't refuse, because I  thought that the issues being discussed were things I could really connect with and hear about so often.

Before a beautiful Kabbalat Shabbat, our Grade 11 and 12 students got together with our visiting alumni for a meaningful conversation about life after high school.

Adam B., Rochelle P., Amanda W., Alan S., Marcos M., David K. and Zack R.
A panel of nine alumni, all on different paths to success, eagerly accepted the invitation to share their experiences with our senior students. The feedback has been so positive!

Ran S. and Shane G.

Thank you to Shane, Adam, David, Rochelle, Marcos, Zack, Ran, Alan and Amanda for their honest sharing and ongoing commitment to King David! 


Acts of Chesed in the Community.   
 
David R., Aviv M., Rabbi Siegel, Justin F. and Galia H. at Louis Brier

 
"We helped deliver library books to some some of the residents. We had a chance to interact with them and hear about their  personal lives. We also shared a wonderful Oneg Shabbat with the seniors as they welcomed the peacefulness and tranquility of Shabbat with song and prayer,"  says David R., Grade 12     

 

At the Jewish Food Bank, Bayle J., Kira S., Rabbi Siegel, Noy M. and Adina L. 
Adina L., Grade 10 says, "On Thursday, my classmates and I went to the the Jewish Food Bank with Rabbi Siegel to help them organize and distribute food."

King David Alumni Pay it Forward!  
   

  

Brainwave was founded in January 2011 by Michael Grubner and Jonathan Simkin, two graduates of King David, along with fellow UBC student Davis Sam. At Brainwave, we believe all kids, no matter their social or economic background, should be inspired by learning. This is best accomplished through interactive experiences that engage kids' practical and imaginative abilities. We offer these experiences via field trips to UBC's chemistry and biology laboratories, Science World, and other local educational venues, complimenting their schooling with the opportunity to apply their knowledge outside the classroom.
