The Grade 8 class is embarking on an incredible journey this year. Students will be working with four clients from Jewish Family Services in an effort to build relationships, create connections, and bear witness to their testimonies. Students will be engaging with four wonderful women who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust. Their stories are unique and their experiences are significant. Our class has been working closely with Ranit Braun and leaders at JFS to plan a variety of activities that will take place throughout the year, culminating in a meaningful presentation on Yom HaShoah. Last week, we discussed the importance of active listening. We also talked about the importance of understanding that the clients’ experiences during the Holocaust are only one part of their lives. Although we want to bear witness to these testimonies, we also want to learn about the different moments of their lives that bring them immense joy. We look forward to meeting monthly with the participants and working together to create a strong bond.
