Dear Friends, 

This week at OFEK was filled with exciting activities and events.

Students learned about the holiday of Purim with songs, games, recipes, and the story of the Megillah. Our elementary school students had a special and festive Sha’at Chevrah (social hour) filled with holiday spirit. From superheroes to fairy tale characters, the children's creative costumes showcased their unique personalities and interests. Seeing the joy and excitement on their faces was heartwarming. 
Happy Purim!  🎭
From the IAC OFEK team

חברים יקרים,

השבוע באופק היה גדוש ומלא באירועים ופעילויות לחג. התלמידים למדו על פורים דרך שירים, משחקים, מתכונים וסיפור המגילה. לתלמידי בית הספר היסודי שלנו נערכה שעת חברה מיוחדת וחגיגית מלאה ברוח החג. הילדים עלו למפגש מחופשים- מגיבורי על ועד דמויות מהאגדות, אין גבול ליצירתיות של הילדים ותחומי העניין שלהם. השמחה וההתרגשות על פניהם חיממה לכולנו את הלב. 
פורים שמח! 🎭

A new B'nai/B'not Mitzvah course started this week in partnership with KEHILAH school at the JCC Harison, NY. We learned about the meaning and place of the B'nai/B'not Mitzvah in the circles of Jewish life.   

We were excited to meet the Jewish Nevada delegation mission to Israel and teach conversational Hebrew before their journey to Israel.

Courses about Anne Frank started this week. During the course the students will explore the life of Anne Frank before the war, while in hiding, and the legacy she left the world. 
We are grateful to teach this course at schools for 4th-6th grade students.

Educators from all over the States took part in a professional development course to learn how to bring Israel’s culture and colors into their classrooms through art.
