Rabbi Alexander S. Gross Hebrew Academy’s Fana Holtz High School held its annual open house on Veteran’s Day, October 11. The Hebrew Academy student body wore military green for the day in honor of the soldiers who fought for American freedom.
The event is a means to educate both current and potential students and families about what lies ahead during the high school years at the school.
New head of school Rabbi Zvi Kahn kicked off the program with a warm welcome and the exciting news that Hebrew Academy is set to build a new middle and high school building with an expected move-in date of the 2016-2017 school year. The event included a dvar Torah by student Pesach Bixon, an overview of courses, information about student life and a student panel that answered frequently asked questions from a student perspective.
Participants had the opportunity to attend real classes in a variety of subjects in English and Hebrew studies. The event culminated in Café Ivrit, which required participants to use Hebrew language during a lively conversation while enjoying an Israeli snack.
