Hopes and ambitions

Here we go again, arrived safe and sound. Thanks to SOS International: Enriching Jewish Identities we have just started the third year of the program together with our partner school, Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School. Due to Morim Limmud Program we can have our annual experience together, educators from BT and SSG and among our kids. All of of us have been waiting for the day to meet again and it has come. Thrilled with hopes and ambitions we are ready to kick this week off. The kids from both schools have been really excited and waiting for this moment for long and why it is really special now is that they have known each other for long and can meet this time as good old friends. Some of our educators have been changed, but our enthusiasm for the program has not at all.

After a long flight we were welcomed by our lovely hosts, Glynis Smith and Alan Reinitz  – we are grateful for the heart-warming attitude that they always show towards us and we cannot express our gratitude. Our two lovely colleagues, Neil and Vince we were soon after touching down taken to the school where the host kids welcomed SSG students with warm hugs. It was so nice to see them feel so happy about each other. Due to the long and exhausting flight our host took us home soon so that everyone can relax before the week starts.

We can hardly wait the week to begin. We are full of joy and are looking forward to all the challenges and experiences we are going to have together. Great thanks to our partner colleagues from BT who have planned all the week for us.

We cannot express our gratitude in words to SOS International: Enriching Jewish Identities for creating the idea of bridging these two communities and for supporting the program with all their heart. We also thank all participating members of  Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School for their kind welcoming us and caring for our kids while we are here.

And last but not least we would like to thank Dr. Schorr for the opportunity to be here again.  ~ Violetta Varga , Educator, SSG
