There are only 5 weeks until our HSJS Faculty kick off orientation meeting, so there’s still time (but not much) to get your children registered for HSJS. I’m quite sure you don’t want your high schooler to miss out on the enriching, engaging, dynamic experience that is the Louisville High School of Jewish Studies!! Thank […]
While my challah rises in the oven, I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind you that registration for the 2017-2018 school year at the Louisville High School of Jewish Studies for all rising 9th-12th grade students is still open! Thank you to those of you who’ve already gone online, seen how easy it is […]

Well, it’s another one in the books: 25 sessions of enriched teaching, 6 guest speakers/special programs, one awesome 10th grade trip to DC, one inaugural, stellar Moot Beit Din team, countless, overwhelmingly positive student class surveys, more than 1200 slices of pizza, and 5 first-time-ever 11th graders at HSJS all add up to an inspired […]
Inspired Jewish learning all around today—why should this week be different from any other week? 😉 Next week is our last day of this school year and we’ll be finishing up with our traditional Shiraz celebratory feast! Please let me know TODAY OR TOMORROW if your child will be absent so I can make sure […]
It was great to see everyone back in the saddle today for inspiring topics and a yummy Passover lunch. It’s hard to believe that we only have two more sessions left in our school year! We’ll be wrapping up curriculum, having students complete their class surveys, and on our last Sunday, April 30, we’ll have […]
What a terrific day we had today: we welcomed 10 rising 9th graders for a “step up day” and we were all fascinated and inspired by Jerry Abramson’s talk about civic duty and responsibility and how he got his start in giving back to his community. We’re off for the next two Sundays—have a wonderful […]
Our Moot Beit Din team put in an impressive performance at the National competition in Houston this morning, and while they didn’t place in their division, our scouts tell me they were very quick on their feet and were unflappable under the pressure of questions from the panel of judges. Yasher koach!! Have a great […]
Although attendance was low today, what we lacked in numbers, we made up for in engaged Jewish learning. Cantor Lipp and I were privileged to hear the oral argument that our inaugural Moot Beit Din team will present when they travel to Houston, TX March 16-19 for the National Moot Beit Din competition. We’re grateful […]
We were moved and inspired today by the film, Once in a Lifetime. If your child was there, make sure you ask her/him about it. Special thanks are due to Marsha Bornstein and her amazing committee for all the time and energy put into selecting the films each year; to the Ann and Coleman Friedman […]
