Yom Ha'atzmaut in the Middle School

It was a packed day of celebrating Israel's independence as middle school students rotated through 6 different stations including: Krav Maga (Israeli martial arts), falafel making, soccer, writing letters to those who have supported Israel, Kochav Nolad (Israel's Got Talent), and The Ideal State (a discussion based project on the qualities of the ideal Jewish state). For many, though, a highlight of the day was the spontaneous circle of Tefilla that erupted as we sang out in unity the words of Hallel to begin the day.
