4th GRADE WRITING Reflections of the Year

Dovid Zweig

We realize how much we grew this year. We accomplished a lot scholastically. We grew in Math. We started addition and
now we are learning division and subtraction of fractions and decimals. Do you know what else we learned? For examples
we learned spelling and had many Spelling bees. We also learned how to read better. We learned about America and its
people and how America grew from coast to coast. What I will remember is what we learned about neatness, responsibility

and Derech Eretz. We learned about appreciating family. Everything we learned in Mrs. Lerner’s class is like another
diamond in a crown. There are lessons for life!

Raphi Gershkovich

Looking back at fourth grade, we realize how much we grew this year. We learned a lot scholastically. In Math, we learned
place value and value of numbers, fractions, division and decimals. In Spelling we had Spelling bees which we had to spell

words under pressure. Above all we learned Derech Eretz, Middos Tovos and appreciation of family. I kinow my family
loved the family tree we made. We also sent letters to the President of the United States about Mr. Rubashkin’s jail

sentence for 27 years. I would like to thank Yeshiva Torah Temimah for all their hard work in making this the best year I
ever had. My Hashem bless Torah Temimah to be able to teach kids Torah and Mitzvos and General Studies too!

Menachem Steinfeld

Looking back at 4th grade, we realize how much we grew this year, either scholastically or in Middos. Scholastically we
accomplished in Math “hard” multiplication and division to fractions, decimals, area and perimeter, etc. in Spelling, we

learned 30 lessons and had many bees. This is only a little bit. There is a lot more. In History we learned from when
Columbus discovered America in 1492 to regions and geography about dams to volcanoes. In Vocabulary we covered 112
words. We learned about famous people such as Albert Einstein, Martin L. K. J. and Yosef Mendelovitch. We also learned the

current events such as Trump freeing Mr.Rubashkin to him recognizing Yerushalayim as Erets Yisrael’s capital. We also
learned how to write an essay and that practice makes perfect. To top it all of, we learned about Derech Eretz, neatness and

responsibility. Three major things in life. We learned how to appreciate family and not to take anything for granted. We
learned how to take a “no” calmly since it’s for our own good. Finally, we learned how to pass the real test of life!

2nd GRADE Mrs. Kryksman’s Personalized Poems

Moshe Farkas was our Math whiz, Daniel Blatt

You excelled at every test and quiz, I must tell you that,
Wise in math well beyond your grade, You are a fine boy indeed,
At the top of the class all year you stayed! You rare happy to help those in need!
In every subject you did beautifully, Your bean plant that started with a seed so small,
You did your work happily and exceptionally, Grew to be the tallest of all!
You learned a lot this year,
If truth be told,
You love of learning was a pleasure to behold! That is very clear.
You are responsible and correct,
Good Midos from you we can expect!

Binyamin Greenberg is another fine boy, Refoel Donat is another master,

Who is kind, polite, Few can read better or faster!
And quite alright! You shared your games and toys,
In class you like to participate, During recess with all the boys.
In every subject you did just great! You did nice work in Math as well,
It is also worth telling, In many subjects you did excel!
That you got many 100’s in Spelling!
You are such a well mannered boy, On Purim you had lots of fun,
Having you in class was a joy! When a piggy bank of jelly beans you won!

Dear Parents ‫עמו"ש‬

As highly sensitized and deeply involved parents, you
will undoubtedly share our excitement. We are delighted to
announce for the coming school year 2017-2018, our
partnering in the highly acclaimed Chofetz Chaim Heritage
Foundation curriculum in ‫ בין אדם לחבירו‬and Midos Tovos
development.

Since you are never too young to begin Midos Tovos,
the first grade will focus on "‫"שיפור בדיבור‬, proper “think before
you speak” speech, never hurt the next one.

Our third grade will be implementing ‫קונה עולם‬, which
highlights on a weekly basis sensitivity towards others in a
myriad of situations.

Our sixth graders, who have the budding maturity to
recognize the hurt and damage of ‫לשון הרע‬, will be enrolled in
the renowned ‫ מושלי הלשון‬program, which will hone the
‫ מענטשליכקייט‬in our children, which we all work so hard to foster.

Our Rebbeyim will be enrolled in the groundbreaking
CCHF Bullying Awareness Seminars. They will be further
sensitized to this serious educational issue which plagues so
many.

While we have your attention, may we also share with
you that the remarkably successful Yahadus Initiative /
Professional Development programs, offered by the renowned
Rabbi Binyomin Ginsburg, will continue and broadened for
2018-2019 school year.

Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky

BY: Yitzchok Chaimovitz
Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky
is a Rabbi and a Posek that is living in Bnei

Brak, Israel. He is considered a leading
Posek and a Gadol Hador. He was born
January 8, 1928 in Pinsk, USSR to Rabbi
Yakov Yisroel Kanievsky, the Steipler Rav
and Rebbitzen Miriam Karlitz, sister of the

Chazon Ish.
Many years ago, a young man who was an
orphan as a small child came to Rav Chaim

and asked for him to guide him in life.
Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky inted him to come
for Shabbos meals each week. He said, to

him “from now on I will be your father
and you will be my son”. One Friday night,

the young man fell asleep with all of his
clothes on. Rav Chaim took his shoes off

gently. In the morning, Rav Chaim
apologized for disturbing his sleep and
explained that the Gemara says that one

should not sleep with his shoes on.
We can also learn from this story how Rav
Chaim cared about every Jew and treated
him like his own ch9ild. SO we learn from
this story how one should treat and care

for every Jew.

Rabbi Akiva Eiger

BY: Shimmy Eisenstadt
Rabbi Akiva Eiger was a Gadol Hador of Klal Yisroel in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He was born in the city of
Eisenstadt, which is now in the country of Austria. He lived from 1761-1837. The age he died was 76 years old. He learned in the
Mattersdorf Yeshiva, and later at the Breslau Yeshiva where he was taught by his uncle Reb Wolf Eiger.
Rabbi Akiva Eiger was a ‫ מוהל‬and wrote many responses in the Halachic and Talmudic topics. He believed that ‫ למודי קודש‬was
sufficient and opposed the party which favored secular schools. He was strongly against the Haskala movement, which was starting
out in his times.
Rabbi Akiva Eger’s greatness of heart and selfless devotion to his community can be seen from the following event. In the year
1831 a terrible cholera epidemic swept central and eastern Europe. Posen was among the cities stricken with this fatal sickness,
causing entire sections of the city to be quarantined and therefore forbidden to be entered. Rabbi AKiva Eger disregarded the
danger and went into the stricken sections of the city to care for the sick.
Rabbi Akiva Eger was a humble person. He was appointed to be chief Rabbi of Posen. At first he declined the position, due to his
humility, and also not wanting his Torah knowledge to be the source of his income. However, after much persuasion from his
father in-law he agreed to take it on. However, never accepting the official title of “Chief Rabbi of Posen”.
Among the many stories told of his humility, there I s a story told I n connection to his new appointment of Rabbi of Posen. The
whole community turned out to welcome the two great scholars. Rabbi AKiva Eger traveled by coach, accompanied by his son in
law, the CHasam Sofer. The CHasam Sofer thought that all the honors were meant for his illustrious father in law taking up his new
post. So he descended from the coach and walked beside it to join the congregation paying tribute to the new Rabbi. Sometime
later, he looked to the other side of the coach and to his great astonishment saw that his father in law was also walking alongside
the coach on the other side for he was certain that the honor was not meant for him but for his great son in law. All these stories
show that Rabbi Akiva Eger was a great man and someone who influenced generations through his greatness in Torah and good
deeds.
It happens to be that my grandmother is a Schreiber and therefore I, too am an einikel of Rabbi Akiva Eiger.
