From Teen MESH Leader Fern Heinig:
We had our final Teen MESH for this school year. The crew led by Jordan with her executive PLATE committee consisting of Leila, Olyvia, and Sena, were extremely efficient. (more…)
A happy foursome, including Linda Wieseneck, Leslie Billet, Julie Weinstein and Captain Lynne Kurzweil headed to the Shomrei kitchen on Tuesday afternoon to get the job done. The meal, which has become a standard, included Dry Rub Roasted Chicken, seasoned roasted potatoes, roasted mixed vegetables, a fresh roll, a juicy orange, Oreo cookies and a water bottle. We made sure to include a condiment cup of ketchup for dipping.
As we near the end of Jewish American Heritage Month, I’d like to share with you a variety of books about the Jewish American experience. The books cover many genres and subjects.
The Lampert Library’s collection has many fine books about Jews and the Jewish experience in the United States, going back to New Amsterdam, where Jews insisted that they be included in the civic responsibilities of the community.
In addition, Jews fought in every war that the US was involved in, serving at a much higher rate than their percentage of the population.
AP tests preempted Teen MESH this week but Fern, along with dedicated helpers, Carol Blau and Leslie Billet, stepped up at the last minute. (more…)
We’re not in Camelot but it is the “lusty Month of May.” May plays host to Jewish American Heritage Month, Short Story Month, Children’s Book Week and a plethora of other special celebrations.
To mark the confluence of Jewish American Heritage Month and Short Story Month, I am featuring some of the short story collections, of which there are many. (more…)
