Joshua Rubin Week 2 - RHS Productions Shut Down

 

    Over the past few weeks, my friend Eitan and I decided to take our filmmaking talents to YouTube by creating some of the best videos Donna Klein has ever produced. We gained nearly 100 subscribers in just days and were projected to gain hundreds more. The short videos are fun walk-around videos that feature student life on campus.

    By the end of the first week of uploading videos, we were known all over the school. In addition to all the kids and teachers, the campus federation also watched them but had different feelings about them. As soon as the federation became aware of the videos, Eitan and I were contacted to remove them promptly. They were seen as a security risk to the school. This was such disappointing news for us. That night we pulled the videos from the internet and began to brainstorm how we were going to make more videos. 

    We are still unsure how we can share videos with Donna Klein families that can be easily seen and    shareable. Every day, kids from different grades ask when and where the RHS videos are. All we are able to answer is that we are unsure and hope to bring them back soon. In the coming weeks, Eitan and I have meetings set up with the head of the school and federation to resolve this issue. We have so many fun ideas and can't wait to share them with the Donna Klein community! 

Do you have any ideas for how we can continue to make/share videos without being a security risk to the school?

    Since I am not 100% sure as to the exact reason for why this is a breach in security, I think you should ask the federation what you would need to do in order to be able to continue to film. Great blog Joshua!

    I personally do not see a problem with RHS productions. It is a fun way to interact with students at RHS and the Donna Klein lower and middle school. I don't see why the federation took a=you down and I think you guys should definitely fight for RHS Productions. #FREERHSPRODUCTIONS

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
