We have finally had our opportunity to have our workshop, with all of our educators involved in it. Sincere thanks to the awesome MLP members for their collaborative work to create the questions and answers. This quiz wanted to show the history of Jews in Hungary through a funny quiz show hosted by one of us, involving the tenth graders and with the participation of my outstanding colleagues who showed some significant moments of the story of the Jews in an extremely funny way. Without the enthusiasm of my colleagues or the excellent sense of humor of them all, we could not reach the kids out the way we could. Hopefully, kids from BT could take advantage of the things they heard and we sincerely hope that they became interested in Morim Limmud Program as well and this way they also might apply for this excellent program in the very near future.
The assembly was the other wonderful part of our day. Some kids of SSG made the Dvar Torah and we are proud of them as some of them had their first time in front of such a big audience, not telling about the fact that English is their second language. The Fireside Chat was really cool for our kids, as well as some of them, have a very good sense of humor. We love how organized it always is and we are happy to know that in Budapest we can welcome Eli Creeger, the head of this amazing event.
After the assembly, I personally could have a meeting with Karen Kaufman, responsible for the Department of Spanish as a foreign language. We could have a very useful talk about the work of departments and talked about the possible changes we could do to improve the efficiency of language teaching. We agreed on keeping in touch in the future to improve our professional development.
After the last period, we are ready to leave for Shabbaton, which every one of us has been looking forward since the moment we arrived here in Baltimore.
Violetta Varga, SSG
