With deepest gratitude, admiration, and love!
This letter comes after much thought and consideration; this will be my last year at the Hebrew Academy as I plan to pursue my dreams of crisscrossing the continents to eventually return to a school-orphanage outside of Chiang Rai, Thailand.  Read more...

 Torah Tidbits
  
ChadMasinThis Week's Torah Tidbits...
by Chad Masin, 10th Grade
In Parshat Bamidbar it states, "And the Children of Israel did all that the Almighty commanded Moshe -- that is the way they encamped according to their flags ... and that is the way they traveled, each person according to his family together with the house of his father" (2:34). Why does the Torah praise the Jewish nation for obeying a command?  Read more...

mezuzot

 

 

  MezuzotA message from Dr. Raab re: Mezuzot
      
You may have noticed as you enter our gates or walk through
the building that several Mezuzot are missing. We undertook
a project this year to check all of the Mezuzot on the doors
and gates of the Academy and found that the great majority
of them were kosher and in excellent shape.  Approximately 30 
required repair or replacement. We are in the process of
replacing the ones that were not acceptable and hope to
have this project complete by the middle of June.
