present a classroom challenge. While
it’s important to cover your nose and
mouth to prevent the spread of disease,
masks also obscure facial expressions.
This can impede the progress of early
learners, who rely on modeling for
linguistic and social cues.

To combat this, experts have devel-
oped masks with transparent panels
over the mouth. While they may look
silly, they are an invaluable tool to
students who are just learning to speak.

“With these masks, kids can see
their teacher’s facial expression and
their smile,” said Rachel Berger,
director of Jewish life and learning.
“It sounds like a small thing, but
it’s really important for child
development.”

To support Jewish day schools and
preschools as they begin the new school
year, the Jewish Federation of Greater
Philadelphia has purchased and will
distribute 15,000 of these transparent
masks.

The initiative arose out of the
COVID-19 Emergency Response
Committee, which realized that — since these masks cannot be purchased in
stores and must be bought in bulk — a community convener was needed to get
them in teachers’ hands.

Any Jewish preschool, day school or supplementary education program is
eligible to receive masks, provided they are meeting in person. Each teacher will

WHETHER A VIRUS OR TERRORISTS,
ISRAELIS DEPEND ON ONE ORGANIZATION

WHEN LIVES NEED SAVING.

Israel’s emergency medical service has been on the front lines in the fight against coronavirus
while also contending with terrorist attacks, car accidents, and other threats to Israeli lives.

But Magen David Adom is not government-funded. Its 25,000 EMTs and paramedics,
most of them volunteers, rely on support from people like you for the supplies and
equipment they need to perform their lifesaving work.

No gift will help Israel more in these difficult times. Keep the people of Israel
strong this coming year. Donate to Magen David Adom. Shanah Tovah.
