This week, the students created Purim cards to send to their friends in Mayanot. Here are some of the images.

January 2010

Oh my, it’s a whole New Year (yes, I’m still writing ‘09 on all my mail); time for some new pictures. Friday, January 22, we went to the Rose Blumkin Theater in downtown Omaha. Drama teacher Fran Sillau gave us a tour, and then did a great workshop with the kids. Enjoy…

October 9, 2009

Drama teacher Fran Sillau visited with us at the JCC theater; all Friedel students participated in a theater workshop. below are photos of grades 3 and up; grades K through 2 will follow later…

The Tree (and other news)

Although the tree mural itself has long since bitten the renovating dust, we can continue to enjoy the beautiful pictures Ophir Palmon took in March 2009. I recommend a visit to his newly updated website; while you’re there, Ophir has many other gorgeous photographs to take a look at.

In the meantime, we have moved on from walls and paint, to a new and exciting project: this Friday, September 4, we will be making Priestly breastplates. As always, feel free to stop by, whether you come to help out, or just to visit; we always welcome guests to our art program.

With my apologies to all parents of K-through-2 students; I had to take Isabella home sick, and couldn’t take pictures of all the others. I will remedy this next week!

We Have a Mural

March 13, 2009

Every single Friedel student marched to the Blumkin Home last Friday to meet up with the residents, all the while followed by photographer Ophir Palmon. Later this week, I will add a gallery of pictures, but for now, I recommend everyone check out Ophir’s site, because these are the images that will be used in the actual mural. Ophir’s pictures were made possible by a more than generous contribution by the RBJH activity department. You can check out his fabulous work Here
