Hillel Students Learn
Disability Lessons

LESLEY PEARL STAFF WRITER

F

ourth-grade students

at Hillel Day School
are receiving lessons
in life.
Since November, the S-
and 10-year-olds have
been instructed in g'milut
hasadim, acts of loving
kindness. In the following
weeks they will study
bikur cholim, visiting the
sick.
Brenda Hirsch brought
the two issues together
and home for the students
last week.
The head of develop-
ment for Alyn Hospital in
Israel, Ms. Hirsch works
to rehabilitate handi-
capped children. While in
the United States, she
speaks to groups of adults
and students, attempting
to gather support for the
hospital which receives no
automatic government
funding.
Instead, children are
referred to the hospital.
The Israeli government
pays 75 to 80 percent of
costs. Some $1,250 per
child each month remains
unaccounted for.
Upon hearing of Alyn,
students often choose to
direct their tzedakah
toward the children's hos-
pital, Ms. Hirsch said.
Already the students at
Hillel have the opportuni-
ty to become pen pals with
four of Alyn's patients.
Each class will have one
child to converse with in
Hebrew.
"It's important for these
kids to know people care,"
Ms. Hirsch said.
Ms. Hirsch showed the
students photographs of
the children celebrating
Shabbat, swimming and
using cameras. She told
stories of courage as chil-
dren paralyzed from the
waist down learned to
walk with crutches.
And she read them let-
ters to God — a class
assignment at the Alyn
school. Reading line by
line in Hebrew, the Hillel
students translated the
letters.
"Learning to walk, I

have a fear of falling.
Sometimes I dream I can
walk by myself. I hope it
will happen very soon,"
one letter read.
Ms. Hirsch asked the
students what they hoped
for.
"To be healthy," one
said.
"To win the lottery,"
another said.
"To be Miss America,"
said another.
"These kids are the
same as you," Ms. Hirsch
said. "They have the same
dreams. They're just in
wheelchairs."
All heads nodded seri-
ously.
As part of the unit, the
Hillel students already
had learned about a day
school for developmentally

Students attended
stations which
simulated vision,
learning, motor
and hearing
disabilities.

disabled children, investi-
gated various buildings
around town for accessibil-
ity and met with physical-
ly handicapped adults.
They also experienced <
modified handicaps.
Wearing glasses smeared
with Vaseline, students
felt their way around.
They attended four sta-
tions which simulated
vision, learning, motor L\
skills and hearing disabili-
ties.
The students told Ms.
Hirsch the difficulties they
had in performing the
activities. She nodded,
and changed direction —
focusing on all that can be
done with handicaps.
"A group of American
GIs visited Alyn while in
Israel. The kids exchanged
letters and gifts with the <
soldiers, then interested
them in a game of wheel-
chair hockey," Ms. Hirsch
said. "Guess who won?"
It wasn't the soldiers. ❑
