The 7th grade girls have been hard at work bringing the beginning of Parshat Shelach to life in a beautiful, classroom-sized mural. Creating gigantic fruits of Eretz Yisrael, road signs, GIANTS and the nesi'im, details of the text guided the process of this project. The artists even dressed each of the nesi'im in the colors of their mateh (tribe).
This mural symbolizes our celebration of members of Bnei Yisrael finally returning to the land Hashem had promised Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov and their descendants after over two-hundred years of being in galut.
Upon completing this meaningful work, Atara Troodler (Class of '12) shared her modern experience in Eretz Yisrael. Like Calev ben Yefuneh, Atara emphasized that any challenge can be overcome with the right mindset and attitude. We are so grateful to Atara for sharing her inspiring story.
