Hebrew Academy Israel Fair: A Celebration of Creativity and Connection

A kindergartener sneaks a lick of marshmallow fluff before carefully gluing a pile of cracked graham crackers into a model of the Western Wall. Nearby, the lively sounds of a shuk erupt, complete with vibrant stands and scenes from Machane Yehuda playing on the screen, with fruit stands selling all different types of fruit. Laughter and smiles fill the field as a young student crawls through hula hoops, proudly earning his IDF acceptance badge.

Creativity and Engagement at the Israel Fair

Our Israel Fair, created and inspired by our middle school girls, was a hub of creativity and engagement. They skillfully transformed their imaginative ideas into interactive experiences, captivating our K-5 students and encouraging them to connect with Israel while making learning a joyous and meaningful journey.

Inspiration from IDF Soldiers

The highlight of the day was a visit from two IDF soldiers. They were deeply moved by the joy, connection, prayers, and love your students expressed for Israel. When Rabbi Popack asked how our school community could support the soldiers, they replied, "You are already doing it. The powerful emotions we witnessed today, the connection your students feel for Israel, it empowers and inspires us!"

Leadership and Pride in Our Middle Schoolers

Our middle schoolers, with their incredible leadership, have not only created an immersive learning environment but also fostered a deep sense of pride and connection to Israel. Their passion and responsibility have left teachers and parents incredibly impressed and proud, showcasing their remarkable growth and achievement.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our exceptional middle schoolers, acknowledging their outstanding work and unwavering dedication. Your efforts have been instrumental in fostering a community of empowered and inspired learners. We are truly grateful for your continued support, and we couldn't be prouder of you.
