This morning was yet another reminder of why #ilovemjds! It melted my heart to see the upper school students excited about sharing their second home, MJDS, with their grandparents, aunts, uncles, parents and family friends. The morning activities highlighted our efforts to move from me to we, as we joined together as an entire upper school and shared a delicious breakfast. The theme continued with the addition of empathy and Tikkun Olam as we prepared sandwiches and snacks for those less fortunate. Our strong Jewish identities shined bright as we said blessings and shared warm challah and sweet grape juice with our loved ones during Kabblat Shabbat. The best part of the morning was not the smiles of the kvelling special friends but rather watching our upper school students beam with pride as they shared their learning environment with those they love the most. I am thankful each and everyday to work in such a menschy place, and especially today, I was reminded of why #ilovemjds.
