Morah Aviva Woodland
 The students of Kitah Bet have been enjoying learning Chumash B'reishit using materials from our Tal Am curriculum. Students read Torah from a text which includes Rashi's commentary on Torah. They learn to recognize the main ideas set forth in the verses and have lively discussions in Hebrew. This year in the virtual classroom of Kitah Bet, we welcomed two new students, Yehudah from Israel and Nurit, a girl who is just learning Hebrew. What a coincidence, as in our own class we have two new students from Israel, Stav and Shaqued, and our newest student Brennen. Bruchim HaBaim, Welcome! 
7th and 8th Grade Spanish "Senora" Lillian Rappaport Silver Academy Middle School students recently completed a unit of study on Spanish language and culture. Among other things, students can now greet you, ask you how you are, tell you what time it is, let you know when their birthday is---all while practicing their Spanish! Part of the program includes Spanish cooking and, in honor of several students' birthdays, students decided to make sopapillas. They brought in ingredients (tortillas, butter, honey, cinnamon and vanilla ice cream---what could be better) and spent part of the morning happily munching away at their pre-lunchtime Spanish snack. A good time was had by all! 
5th - 8th Grades Arthur L. Goldberg Memorial Lecture
In 2001, the family of Mr. Goldberg, through the Silver Academy Foundation, established the Arthur L. Goldberg Memorial Fund to honor the memory of this devoted husband and father, mentor of his law partners and associates, and active member of the Jewish community. His philanthropy and generosity improved the lives of people in both the local community and in central Pennsylvania. The Steering Committee of this Fund presents an annual program to benefit the Silver Academy and focuses on issues close to the heart of Arthur L. Goldberg. This year's program was presented by Solomon Krevsky, Esquire, founding partner of Clark & Krevsky, LLC, and a graduate of The Silver Academy. Our students were enlightened by Mr. Krevsky's genuine talk about his experiences as a Civil Rights and Employment Attorney. A special thanks to Mr. Krevsky for sharing his expertise with our students and to Mr. Morton Spector for facilitating and attending this event.  |
