This is the 38th year that HAKOL has celebrated high school graduates from around the Lehigh Valley. Beginning in 1980, the center spread of each June issue has been dedicated to showing off our graduating seniors. Each spread features a photo collage of all the seniors as well as biographical information, both Jewish and secular, relating to their four years in high school. As we congratulate the high school class of 2017, let’s look back at HAKOL’s first senior spread from 1980.
A somber ceremony was held on April 30 at the JCC to mark Yom Hazikaron, Israel's Memorial Day. This year's program featured the project "Soon We Will Become a Song," which turns the poems and letters of fallen soldiers and victims of terror into lyrics. Yaron Wax, a diplomat for the mission of Israel to the UN, spoke to those in attendance and the Jewish Day School of the Lehigh Valley choir performed.
