Rabbi Irwin and Leypsa Groner Memorial Lecture – 7:30 PM – Congregation Shaarey Zedek
IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING UPCOMING RABBI IRWIN AND LEYPSA GRONER MEMORIAL LECTURE:
Unfortunately, our planned speaker, Haviv Rettig Gur, is unable to travel to the United States due to the current situation in Israel.. We are pleased to announce, however, that we have been able to secure Ronen Bergman to be our speaker this year. Many of you may be familiar with Ronen from his columns in the New York Times Magazine and his fascinating book Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations. Ronen, who lives in Tel Aviv, studied law at the University of Haifa and received a PhD from the University of Cambridge for his dissertation on the Mossad. He has had a rich career in journalism and is an established expert on intelligence, security, terrorism, and the MIddle East.
Sponsored in memory of A. Alfred Taubman
Please register by June 20th
Dr. Ronen Bergman is a senior correspondent for military and intelligence affairs at Yedioth Ahronoth, Israel’s largest daily newspaper, and a contributing writer for The New York Times, with bylines also in Haaretz, Foreign Affairs, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and Der Spiegel. Widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost experts on intelligence and national security, Bergman has broken hundreds of major stories on Israel’s covert operations, the Mossad, and the broader Middle East.
His bestselling book Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations was praised globally and published by Random House. According to The New Yorker’s David Remnick, Bergman is “arguably Israel’s best investigative journalist.”
Bergman holds a PhD in history from Cambridge University, a law degree from Haifa University, and is a recipient of the Sokolow Prize, Israel’s highest award for journalism. He has played a critical role in promoting freedom of information in Israel and was part of the international team that analyzed both Wikileaks and Snowden documents.
Our curriculum is written for our school by our Rabbis and Director of Youth and Family Learning. Each grade level has specific goals and learning targets that encompass the following areas:
Learning and practicing Jewish rituals, holidays, and ethical actions, emphasizing how these observances connect individuals to Jewish tradition and community.
Fostering a connection to Israel by exploring its geography, history, and significance as the Jewish homeland.
Centering on learning and understanding Torah stories, characters, and teachings, and applying their lessons to daily life.
Emphasizing the importance of ethical behavior, acts of kindness (Gemilut Chasadim), and fulfilling obligations like Tzedakah (charity).
Exploring the meaning and practice of prayer, teaching students how to communicate with God and understand the significance of different prayers.
Focusing on learning the Hebrew alphabet, vocabulary, and basic reading skills to engage with Jewish texts and prayers.
Each grade level explores these themes through engaging and age-appropriate lessons. Teachers use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including the Chai Curriculum.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated team of professional Jewish educators. Our teachers receive weekly planning time, during which they use our curriculum and learning goals to craft engaging lesson plans. They benefit from regular coaching and feedback from our Director of Youth and Family Learning and participate in ongoing professional development throughout the year. Our educators are passionate about their students and committed to their growth and success.
