NOVEMBER 1 Rabbi Avrohom Kalmanowitz, zt"l, the Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva, played a pivotal role in the
rescue and rebuilding process of both Holocaust survivors and war-torn Torah centers in
Professional Day that most difficult era. An unparalleled activist, he traveled the world and prevailed upon
Dismissal at 10:30 a.m. politicians, civic leaders and laymen alike to respond to his call for action.

(all divisions) Once, at an emergency meeting of the Vaad Hatzalah, the historic organization dedicated
to international relief and rescue, Rabbi Kalmanowitz made the following observation:

In Parshas Noach, we learn that after one hundred-fifty days the flood had completely

(and those with him in the teivah, ark) survived (7,23). Rashi quotes one opinion that
Jr. High Boys Parent Teacher maintains that Noach was injured when he delayed in feeding the lion and was struck by
Conferences the hungry beast. Why was Noach punished so harshly for a seemingly insignificant
oversight? After all, he displayed herculean effort and incredible self-sacrifice for the

Nov. 23 for 8th grade
Rabbi Kalmanowitz responded that the animals were also survivors, lone and broken
6:30-9:30 p.m. remnants of devastation and destruction from a world that no longer existed and thus
deserved to be beneficiaries of extraordinary sacrifice and care. Moreover, as a survivor
•••••• himself, Noach was expected to display a higher level of sensitivity and responsibility
toward those who merited survival along with him. Therefore, Noach was judged with a
NOVEMBER 24 particularly strict measure of Divine justice.

Thanksgiving Rabbi Kalmanowitz continued his remarks by charging his audience, his fellow survivors,
Boys Division Only as follows: “Specifically because we merited to survive the years of wrath and death, it is

Girls Elementary

We were so excited to welcome the girls back after Succos. The positive feed-
back and completed Succos charts that the Moros received were a reflection of
the growth our girls are experiencing here at HAC Elementary. Here's a sam-
pling of some nachas reports for you to enjoy: “Chaya Devora davened every
day and even helped her sister daven!”... “Batsheva was an unbelievable help
over yom tov. She davened beautifully every day,saying every word so careful-
ly.”… “Malky was very well behaved and super helpful over yom tov.”

To reinforce our midah of the
year, ayin tovah, the girls did
a collaborative activity. At a
school wide assembly, every
girl had a chance to write one
attribute about a friend. They
are sure to cherish these
pages.
Mazel tov to all our fourth
graders on the completion of
Parashas Mikeitz! Thank you
to their amazing Moros who helped them reach this milestone.
Morah Libersohn's third grade enjoyed learning dikduk with a hands on, edible
activity.

General Studies
Mrs. Post’s 2nd grade girls
launched the new Stem
curriculum with a lesson in
buoyancy. The girls had to
design and redesign a wa-
tercraft to hold weight without sinking. We definitely have some
young engineers in the making!
Mrs. Schwarzmer’s 5th graders are studying patterns in Math. To
practice pattern making, Mrs. Schwarzmer gave an origami lesson
which the girls created patterned, movable stars.

endeavor depends on the contribution of every single
student!!!!!!

We are mispallel for the tremendous siyata dishmaya

Morah Katz and Morah Orit’s class began their brachos unit. The children created
beau ful Hamotzee characters. On Thursday, everyone got to make their own
Hamotzee sandwich and enjoyed it for lunch.
Morah Blech and Morah Shani’s class had a great me playing with stuffed animals
they brought to school for Parshas Noach.

Early Childhood

It was a pleasure welcoming back the kinderlach a er the Succos break. They jumped
right back into their classes and rou nes with excitement!
A er hearing the story of Noach and the taivah, taivos of all sorts were built by our
enthusias c kinderlach. They used blocks, Lego, animals, mentchies, tools etc. During
art me they worked hard pain ng, coloring and gluing together taivos, which they

were so excited to bring home to use as they tell
the story. Some classes prac ced pain ng
rainbows on an easel. In other classes, the
children learned about pairs and played
matching games. They learned to count ll “7”
and played coun ng and sor ng games. Some
kinderlach learned about “pa erns.” The children
strengthened their fine motor skills by stringing fruit loops following the pa ern of
the rainbow colors. For Science, a few of our classes filled basins with water and
let the children experience with what items will float and which ones will sink.
This week, on Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan, the children got treats from Morah Rivky
and Morah Rochel as they sang and danced “A GuƩen Chodesh”.
The Preschool is thrilled to announce that Mrs. Becky Udman, HAC grandmother and cer fied Love and Logic Facilitator
and Conscious Discipline Inspired Speaker, will be joining them for the school’s Professional Day, this coming Tuesday,
November 1st as part of its professional development. We are thrilled, while she is in town, to share the opportunity
