We are tremendously proud of our 8th Grade students who led their 5th-7th Grade peers through a powerful and engaging study of the Holocaust and the indomitable legacy of survivors. Later that evening, parents were invited to the Schultz Rosenberg Campus to also join in this unique educational experience and powerful reminder of our shared responsibilities as a community. Our gratitude to Rabbi Kenigsberg for sharing this video:

AYA High School students dedicated their Yom HaShoah program to Holocaust survivor Max Glauben zt"l and his enduring challenge to "Be an Upstander." Students also had the opportunity to converse with Holocaust survivor Josh Gortler via Zoom. (Mr. Gortler is AYA school nurse Doba Rudberg's uncle.) |

The Honey Girl of Auschwitz |

In January, AYA High School students were privileged to be visited by 94-year-old Esther Basch who arrived at Auschwitz with her parents on her 16th birthday, was separated, and never saw her father and mother again. Esther shared her family's devastating testimony with purpose, clarity, and an inspiring joy for life — including dancing with our girls! |

Our High School juniors took advantage of the very rare and special opportunity to view the Codex Sassoon — the earliest, most complete version of the Tanach. The 1,100-year-old Hebrew Bible is on exhibit at Southern Methodist University for the first time in the United States as part of a five-city international tour. In May, this 792-page manuscript is expected to auction for in excess of $30 million at Sotheby's New York.
