THE BOILING POINT

The handwriting on the walls By the BP Editorial Board

We’ve all been patiently awaiting the new school building and the amenities it will bring, but demolishing our current building is not without its costs. In a super-clean new building, the Shalhevet community will most likely lose one of its favorite forms of expression: writing on the school walls.

As anybody who has explored Shalhevet knows, there is art everywhere. Teachers paint inspirational quotes onto the walls of classrooms, students paint murals in their classes, and every member of the Boiling The wall art at Shalhevet doesn’t just beautify the building.

Danovitch’s door is a massive collage of magazine cutouts.

Every brightly painted quote conveys the philosophy and personality of a teacher, every colorful mural represents the bond and experience of students who tried to brighten a classroom, and every word written to be remembered.

Students walk by murals from years past and remember carefully outlining them together. When seniors graduate, incoming freshmen stare at the wall art in puzzlement, wondering if they’ll ever understand the inside jokes of the previous classes or why there is a mural of a beach covering an entire wall of a Gemara join the Shalhevet family.

There is much that we will be gaining in the new building, as this newspaper has spent much space describing. But it remains to be seen whether we will be able to personalize it too -- to make it look something like the people who occupy it.

Only time will tell. But one sign just might be whether there’s any handwriting on the walls.

New club tries to understand prayer

A year late, old builing comes down

By Maayan Waldman, Staff Writer Freshman Nicole Soussana yearned for a way to enhance her daily davening experience at Shalhevet.

But she didn’t just wish or think about it.

inspiration,” said Nicole.

The idea for the workshop, nicknamed TTW, came about one afternoon in Rabbi Stein’s Honors Talmud class, when he invited students to ask any questions they had about Judaism. Nicole asked about prayer and wondered why it was important to be so committed to a ritual without having a complete understanding of the text and the ideas behind it. prove understanding, and asked the students to e-mail him if they were interested. Several replied and Nicole took the initiative in starting TTW. ting on blue classroom chairs arranged in a circle, the students took turns asking Rabbi Stein questions about

Then, since several asked about the relationship between the individual and community in davening, Rabbi Stein analyzed the prayer of Tachanun in that context.

“My role in TTW is basically to hear the students’ quesdresses those questions,” Rabbi Stein said in an interview. feedback.

“Tachanun used to seem like a distant prayer, but it is now something I can connect to,” said freshman Micha Thau.

Freshman Jordan Levine said it was something he’d wished he’d learned sooner.

“TTW helps to break down the davening and learn it part by part,” said Jordan. “It’s really important to me to know what I’m saying in davening every day.”

Two weeks later, Rabbi Stein talked about the meaning behind the prayer before .

He said this prayer shows that everyone has the power to control his or her reaction to a bad occurrence.

While some respond by being mean to others or lashing out -- hinted in the Hebrew phrase or “some trust in chariots, others in horses” -- peohe said.

“As it says ,” he said -- “but we call upon the name of the Lord our God.” Nicole told the Boiling Point she hopes TTW will become a weekly meeting next year, and other students also said they look forward to learning more prayers in depth.

“Hopefully it will push me to daven more excitedly, rather than because I’m forced to,” said freshman Gaby Benelyahu.

Annex building this year, it was the second pack-up in a row. Last year they moved from the north side of the main building -- the part that was destroyed last week -- into the Annex. Next year, the plan is for them to be moving again, this time into a new, three-story, permanent building on Fairfax with a spiral staircase, rooftop arts and prayer spaces and an indoor gym.

“I feel like I am getting used to moving all the time,” said Ivrit teacher Shlmoit Abrams, who taught in the Annex this year. “It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world, but I guess it is all for the best.”

Even though some teachers are worried that they will not have enough time to unpack their classroom supplies once they get to the JCC the school is actually giving them as much time as in previous years.

“It doesn’t take them more than a day or two to unpack,” said the source. “It won’t take us long to move because it’s really just desks and chairs.”

Judaic Studies teacher Reb Tuli Skaist is leaving Shalhevet to work full time at Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy. During his three years at Shalhevet, Reb Tuli has taught Talmud, Tanach and Jewish Philosophy, and was in charge of davening as well.

Reb Tuli started teaching at Hillel part time in February and that will be his post starting next fall. His wife, Mrs. Ruthie Skaist, who is also a Judaic studies teacher, will remain at Shalhevet next year, and Reb Tuli said he hoped to stay close to the community.

“My best memory with Reb Tuli is on the Princeton Model Congress Trip when we stayed up late talking about contempary Jewish issues and playing football,” Max said. “Tuli is just a very fun guy to be around.”

Judaic Studies Principal Reb Noam Weissman said that next year, davening will not be run by one person but by the “We will miss all of the great energy, knowledge and love he brought to the school,” Reb Noam said. “He brought so much passion, a real love of learning and teaching, and most importantly, kindness to Shalhevet classrooms and hallways."

Three steps through his

From Poland to Israel, gathering memories am

WOLBRUM FOREST: The Shabbat they lost

By Liat Bainvoll, 12th Grade WOLBRUM, POLAND, May 30 – Today we went to the Wolbrom forest, where the father of Mr. David Shapell — a major donor to our Poland-Israel trip — is buried. Mr. Shapell’s father and hundreds of other Jewish men, women, and children from the shtetl of Wolbrom are all buried in three mass graves. They were left to die, sold out by their neighbors, and desecrated once the bodies were cold.

At the grave, my group with Benny and Natalie sang a rendition of “Esa Enai,” followed by a poem written by Benny about hundreds.

Then, we gave the people buried there something that they haven’t had in 74 years. We welcomed the Shabbat with them. We started with “Shalom Aleichem.” This hit close to home with me because my family instituted singing it as a tradition every Friday night at the Shabbat table after my grandfather passed away. A Holocaust survivor from Lodz, he was full of life. There is not one moment that I remember him without a smile, unless it was part stripped of.

We gave them one more opportunity to bring in Shabbat and the joy that comes with it. After this experience, I will never again see my family tradition of singing “Shalom Aleichem” as a nuisance. I will not mumble the words annoyed, but it will sing with pride and full of life for those who never got the chance to sing.

Eventually we gathered in the remains of an age-old synagogue that we proceeded to pray in. The prayer was made all the more intense and powerful with the incredible view that we had of the surrounding desert and Dead Sea in the distance. In between sets of prayers, we sang niggunim that brought even more fervor into the prayer.

After that passionate davening we descended the castle via cable car. Inside the car, a small conversation arose between Rabbi Segal and another visitor to friends. But the best part was when we discovered that the visitor’s birthday was on that very day.

“Before I go to college, I want to experience a year of growth and knowledge,” Kaili said in an interview. “In Israel, I expect to accumulate more understanding both in my Jewish and personal life.”

As a middle schooler at Yavneh Hebrew Academy, Kaili enjoyed Judaic studies, but at Shalhevet, she said, she was inspired by faculty to create a stronger connection. Now, her favorite subject is Gemara, perhaps the She said she does not relate so

much to prayer, but experiences a great sensation when she opens a Gemara. On Senior Awards Night, Kaili was awarded the Kotler Award for Outstanding Achievement in Talmud.

“The Gemara is so complex and sometimes really hard to follow,” Kaili said. “When I am able to piece it together and grasp the concepts, it is the most accomplished feeling.”

One of the most inspiring Gemaras Kaili learned in high school was Shabbat 88a. The Gemara notes that Moshe goes up and down Har Sinai each day at the beginning of Sivan, bringing a korban Then, on the sixth day, he receives the Torah and stays on the mountain for 40 days more.

Judaic Studies teacher Rabbi David Stein, she asked how it could relate to her. They discussed a deeper meaning: each up and down of Moshe’s journey represents the ups and downs of Jewish history -- Crusades, pograms, good times and bad -- and then, as Moshe got the Torah after bringing the korban, in more recent times God gave the modern state of Israel -- a paradigm shift showing the stability of the Jewish nation.

T h i s is the kind of thing that made Kaili want to study all day for a year, and even to embrace the change of going from a co-ed school with a half-time Judaic curriculum to an all-girls seminary with hardcore learning.

“I’m still nervous about the intensity of my studies next year,” Kaili said.

“But I’m so excited to learn from so many amazing, inspiring people.”

Next year, Kaili Finn will be roaming around the city of Jerusalem donning the dress code of her seminary— similar to Shalhevet’s—and holding a Gemara in her hand, ready to learn.
