them a chance to talk about their
backgrounds and their families' ori-
gins.
"I think it was a great experience
to be with the seniors because we
know we can all learn from each
other," said fifth-grader Gilad
Eisbruch. "We know that one day
we will be seniors. The seniors
talked to us about their past, mostly
in WW II, and I learned a lot from
that. It felt good to be around peo-
ple who aren't usually a part of our
daily lives."
The seniors showed enthusiasm,
interest and delight at being with the
children," said Phyllis Herzig, JCC's
director of senior programming.
"It's been a most unusual day,"
Kiesler said.
"It was refreshing to talk to young
children," Mordis said.
"It was quite enlightening. I never
knew the kids did all that in school.
They seem to really like their class-
es!" said Sol Saginaw.
"The kids were so polite, enjoy-
able, friendly, nice and smart," said
Sylvia Krohn. Several seniors wanted
to visit again to share more of their
stories with the children.
Students at HDS study a new
theme each Jewish month. The
theme is introduced at the Rosh
Chodesh (new month) celebration
and continues until the next Rosh
Chodesh celebration, when another
theme is introduced. The theme for
the current month of Shevat is tik-
vah (hope). The themes are suggest-
ed by BabagaNewz magazine for
children, which also provides class-
room materials, articles and activities
to enhance the teaching of a theme
in the classroom. ❑
