Hudson Gray Week 8- A Day of Thanks



A Day of Thanks

I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving break. This break is always really good because it is a reminder that the first semester is almost over and winter break is just around the corner. Although I am not going away and don't have any exciting plans for thanksgiving, I am very much looking forward to hanging out with my brothers who I don't get to see much. Both of my brothers will be here for at least a week which is very exciting. I didn’t expect for Cooper, my oldest brother, to come home for that long anymore since he is in full on work mode in New York City. I wish we had a full week off like most other schools but during the days off I plan to spend time with family and friends, play lots of golf, and go to the beach. This is my second Thanksgiving in Florida, and it is automatically better here because my grandparents live close. The only sad part of this break will be that last year it was the day after thanksgiving when we had to put one of my dogs down. I am going to have to do my best to not think about this as it was a very heartbreaking time. 

    Now let's talk about Thanksgiving dinner. My favorite food to eat on this night is the sweet potatoes with marshmallows. I eat any kind of meat, so yes I do like turkey. I’m not sure whether I prefer light or dark meat but that is something I have been trying to figure out for the past couple of years on thanksgiving. Now let me ask you: What is your favorite food to eat on thanksgiving?

    Sweet potatoes is one thing- but with marshmallows?! I guess I cant hate it until I try it. My favorite Thanksgiving food is the turkey because its so iconic and gets me into the holiday spirit.

    I love thanksgiving mostly for the food to be honest. A good succulent turkey is all I need. Also the marshmallow sweet potatoes is heavenly. I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving!

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...
