The days leading up to Chanukah were filled with excitement, as Bruriah students were challenged to decorate their hallways. Each grade’s hallway came out magnificent! Students enjoyed an outdoor, physically distant chagiga, including inflatables, a bonfire and a barbecue.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Schwartz and Mrs. Skaist worked together to offer an inspiring yom iyun with a special appearance from known lecturer, Jackie Bitton. There was a beautiful kumzitz, yummy food and speeches from students, Daphna Hook and Ahuva Becker. The theme was ‘Elev8,’ where all gained insight on how to become better Jews in our everyday activities. Bitton spoke about how it’s never too late to change and build our relationships with Hashem. Senior Rena Feldman shared that, “She was incredibly engaging and inspiring. She shared her message through amazing storytelling. Her passion really was clear throughout, drawing me in. I would love to hear her speak again!”
