Even though we were a small but mighty group today, our teachers and students were able to wrap up their courses and start looking forward to next semester. If your child was not able to join us today, please have her/him go to: www.louisvillehsjs.org, click on the drop down Courses tab on the top, and […]
We’ve got so much great Jewish engagement and learning happening each week here at HSJS, so we’ll look forward to seeing everyone next Sunday, December 17, for the last Sunday of the semester! We’ll be ranking our elective choices for next semester, so you won’t want to miss out! Happy Chanukah!!
Wow—what an impressive turnout for our school-wide tikkun olam Hanukkah Helpers project! Way to repair the world, HSJS! As we head into more winter-like weather, let me just remind everyone that if we decide to cancel classes, I will notify you several ways: I’ll send a Remind text notification (text @hsjs502 to 81010 if you’re […]
I hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving celebrated with family and friends. Just a reminder that we will be meeting next Sunday to engage in tikkun olam as a school community in support of JFCS’s Chanukah Helpers project. They need to know how many of our students will be there so they can adequately prepare/purchase […]
We had another great day of engaging Jewish learning today: some of our 10th graders began planning for their Confirmation next spring and our budding animators are getting closer to a final product that they will (hopefully) be able to share with the community as part of the annual Louisville Jewish Film Festival. As many […]
We seem to be plagued with travel delays and cancellations at HSJS this week: last week our 10th graders had a fantastic time on their trip to DC, right up until the time they got to the airport and learned that their return flight had been cancelled. In all honesty, it didn’t seem to faze […]
As I type, a group of our 10th graders is experiencing DC under the expert guide of Rabbi Rapport; our Torah Toons animation students shared their “Storyboard Animatic” with me (and even though their amazing teacher, Jai, told me it was a little rough, I was blown away by what they’ve created so far); and […]
It was great to have everyone back today for more inspired Jewish learning. Reminder for next week—it will be time to “fall back,” so turn your clocks back 1 hour Saturday night so you’re not an hour early for HSJS! If you’re not already signed up for our Remind text alert system, this would be […]
We were a small but mighty group once again this Sunday (overlapping fall breaks), but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a lot of engaging and enlightening Jewish learning going on! An important reminder: we are NOT in session next Sunday, October 22, due to both BBYO and NFTY holding fall weekend events. If you’re not […]
We were a small but mighty group today and there was a lot of great Jewish learning going on—there were heated discussions in Jews in Science, exploration of how the translation of a single word from Exodus could launch years of anti-Semetic characatures, and the students in Torah Toons worked on storyboards, which means their […]
