Oak, the event attracted a
diverse group of 60 people.
"The task force has
drawn some conclusions,"
Mr. Braun said. "But

As education director,
Mrs. Ben-Ozer plans to
make such activities
available to the school as a
whole, not just certain
classes. In addition, she
hopes to build the
congregation-school rela-
tionship by having the
rabbi and cantor join a
Shabbat meal with a dif-

"Our kids need to learn
and gain enough confi-
dence to never apologize
for their identity. Our
heritage and culture is
among the oldest in the
world," Mrs. Ben-Ozer
said.
