Hudson Gray Week 10- A Great Thriller



 A Great Thriller

It had been a while since I watched a movie, so this past weekend, with  my brothers, I decided to watch one. I had no plans of watching a movie, but while scrolling through tiktok, I saw a clip from a movie that looked amazing. I realized I had heard of the movie before but I couldn’t remember if I had seen it before. Nonetheless, I told my brothers we would watch it later. The name of the movie is Captain Phillips. I’m sure several of you have heard of it before and maybe have watched this movie. The movie was released in 2013 and takes place on a US containership that is sailing towards another country. On this route over sea, the ship must pass through the Somali coast. I'm sure most of you have heard about Somali pirates and can imagine how the movie will play out. One of my favorite things about action movies like these is that they are pretty often based on true stories. After finishing the movies, I love looking up and reading into the real story. For instance, this movie is based on a true story and is very similar to what actually happened. Without spoiling the movie, I will say that it has a very intense and good ending. One of the greatest parts of the movie is the suspense that it brings. Watching it with my brothers made it ten times better because I am one of those people who likes talking about what is going on during the movie. I recommend this movie to those of you who like thriller movies and want to learn more about pirates. Have any of you heard of or watched Captain Phillips?

    Ive heard of the movie but Horror Movies are honestly hit or miss for me, I'll definitely be checking it out this weekend.

    I haven't heard of or watched Captain Phillips and I don't really like scary movies all that much. I don't think I would really consider watching it to be honest but maybe in the future I will change my mind.

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...
