Our 7th grade students took a break from studying to enjoy a party featuring delicious Israeli food with their teacher, Dina Levine, and Abrams Assistant Principal Ben Pinker.  Next year, these students will embark on Abrams’ annual 8th grade trip to Israel!  Below, please find a summary of their “Israel Party” by 7th grader Benjy.

“Over the past few months, our class has studied all about Israel, from early history all the way up to modern times.  We first learned about the destruction of the second temple by the Romans in 70 CE.  We moved on to the Zionist Congress and to the Israeli Parliament in the Knesset, and the Prime Ministers.

We have talked about foundations in Israellike the Jewish National Fund.  A very important part of our studies was the Israeli Defense Forces and the gadna.  We also had many discussions about Israel’s chrnoc water problem.

We learned about the many religions and people in Israel and we recently ended a chapter on transportation and ports in Israel.  We are currently studying food in Israel and to celebrate our progress, we had a party to enjoy the food eaten in Israel!”
