Alumni In Action...
Jonathan H., former Weizmann student, is one of only 22 Diller Fellows in the L.A. area (with only 440 selected world wide) who will have the opportunity to host and become an exchange student with a partner from Tel Aviv, Israel.  Jonny will also participate in bi-monthly workshops and 4 weekend retreats. Mazal Tov!
October Mitzvah Project
The October mitzvah project was hugely successful as students helped to collect new and gently used books that will be donated through the National Council of Jewish Women.  Hundreds of books were collected by students in all grade levels.


Next month we begin collecting blankets, socks, and personal grooming items to be donated to Union Station.  These donations will be combined with the sandwiches and lunch bags we prepare on our school mitzvah day, November 25, as part of our Thanksgiving program.
