“Art with a Heart”
Despite all the differences
This was our third day in Baltimore and the second day at BT. We visited many classes, taught the 9th and 10th graders, we had a conversation about charity works here in BT and at home in SSG and last ...
Such an eventful day
Our first day at school started with the warmest welcome we could imagine. We got donuts and presents when we stepped into the building.
In the first period, we had davening. Most of us chose the alternative ...
What a welcome
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 ...
Before the BIG JOURNEY
I’m thrilled, I can’t express these feelings into words. We are finally meeting our little American family. Everybody has been packing their suitcases, soon enough most of us will be ...
Gratitude
One of my favorite moments from the past week was the Gratitude Circle we did on Shabbat as a parting activity for both students and teachers. We all sat in a big circle, and each student and staff ...
‘Why didn’t they teach me this in school?’
I have come to realize this week that some concepts are truly international.
I feel fortunate to have the support of Adelson’s administration and math department to teach ‘Financial Math’. The ...
Opening ourselves to the world, what I bring with me, and my hopes
Honestly, the opportunity to get to know others, to impact others, and be impacted by them is what excites me the most about participating in the Morim Limmud program. I am always looking for opportunities ...
Returning to learn more
I have been fortunate enough to be asked to return to the Morim Limmud program and represent my school in the second year of this exchange. But this year is going to be different; this year we are taking ...
An opportunity
I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to add teachers from around the world to my professional network. I look forward to discovering new resources, teaching strategies, and methods for reaching ...
A whole new experience
When we were given our first blog assignment, we were encouraged to explain our reasoning for wanting to go on this trip. Here’s my reasoning for when I first heard about Morim Limmud and why I want ...
Eastern European Connections
I’ve always felt a connection with Eastern Europe. Most of Ashkenaz Jewish history is based there; it’s a main area for modern Jews and where a majority of the Holocaust took place. Eastern Europe ...
Butterflies
When told I had to write a blog documenting the trips build-up, I experienced slightly conflicting feelings. Not because I don’t enjoy writing, but simply because I didn’t know how I feel. ...
Reflection on Budapest
It is now approximately two weeks past our departure from Budapest. I have had a lot of time to reflect and think about all the wonderful memories and friends I made. I am happy to report that I keep ...
If We Don’t Do Anything, Who Will?
The trip to Budapest, Hungary was life-changing. Even though I come from a Jewish background, the experiences I was given could not have been matched in America. As a result of the trip, I have a newfound ...
Freedom of Religion
Since coming home from our long journey back to Baltimore, I have had a lot of time to reflect on the past week. While I learned a lot about the history and culture of Hungry, I have returned from this ...
The strength we possess when united
It has been a week since I returned home from Budapest and I can’t believe it. Every day I have an experience that triggers my memory and I recall another small detail from ...
Value my Judaism
I cannot believe the trip is over, that I am no longer in Budapest but rather back in America. As I am writing this, I am wondering how I will include all the things I learned in Budapest into my everyday ...
