At Passover time, it is praiseworthy to retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The Nachshonim Elementary School re-enacted the Exodus from Egypt by grouping students into the "12 Tribes of Israel" as they crossed the "Red Sea." Upon reaching dry land, parents joined them for a festive meal with singing and dancing. It was a wonderful way to launch Passover break and celebrate the value of freedom.
