Hebrew School Board Meeting
The Hebrew School Board met on Sunday January 30. In attendance was our principal, Jack Rubel, David Safon, Chairman of the Board, Ronnie Bekore, Mike Richheimer, Caryn Seifert, Andrea Bittman, and Deborah Y. Cohn.
We discussed some new initiatives:
1. To enrich the library experience in our new library Andrea will be planning a family centered book club for parents and children ages 9-12. Stay tuned to hear more about our new book club. Andrea is extremely qualified to bring this exciting program to our community. She runs the "Gemini" (gifted) program in the Herricks Elementary Schools and is in the process of completing a Ph.D. in psychology from St. John's University. Check out some of her accomplishments on the Web:

She has experience running family centered books clubs. We can all be sure that these events will be a fabulous way for a Ohav Sholom and the larger community of parents to bond with their children.
2. Plans are underway to honor Morah Haimson for her 36 years of dedication to the Hebrew School at Congregation Ohav Sholom in Merrick. Mrs. Haimson started teaching at Ohav Sholom under the direction of Mel Isaacs in the 1970s. (She was my teacher). Anyone who has a favorite Mrs. Haimson story please email me, dycohn@aol.com.
3. Plans are being made to upgrade our Purim Carnival, scheduled for March 20, 2005. We are thinking on incorporating into the event an opportunity to reach families who have not yet decided on a Hebrew School for the 2005 - 2006 year. Please invite friends to the Purim Carnival!
4. We had hoped to march in the Israel Day Parade this year scheduled for June 5. http://www.salutetoisrael.com/about.asp
However, the date conflicts with the Journal Dinner Dance, honoring our own David Safon.
If anyone is interested in being a spectator at this event, please contact me. dycohn@aol.com
5. The possibility of a Yom Haatzmaut (Israel Independance Day) Picnic was discussed. More details to follow.
6. We discussed JEP. Once again. Anyone who has any thoughts about the JEP program please comment on the blog!
7. Our next meeting is February 13, Sunday, 9:30 am. Anyone who has any ideas to contribute please contact any of the board members. Parents - we would love to hear from you!
