Remembering Rabin: A Song of Peace

Friday, November 4 was the 16th anniversary of the passing of Isareli Prime Minister, Yitzchak Rabin z'l'.  As we do each year, we mark this anniversary with a special middle school assembly, created and run by our 8th grade class.  The focus of the assembly is the the value of "peace", what it means, why it is important, and why Yitzchak Rabin had a very special role in Israel's history.  It is not a political debate, we save those for the classroom.  Our 8th graders read original poetry, quoted Rabin in meaningful ways, sang the song "Shir L'shalom -- A song of Peace", with Rabbi Bluman, lead the community in "Eil Maleh Rachamim" and together, we  concluded with a beautiful "HaTikvah".   Please find some nice pictures below:
