Rabin- Soldier in the Army of Peace
חייל בצבא שלום


Israel Prime minister Yizhak Rabin was assassinated on the eve of November 4th, 1995 at the end of a mass rally in support of the peace process. The three gunshots radical right-wing Israeli youth fired into his back and ended his life. Yitzhak Rabin was 73 years old when he died.

At the Davis Academy we are commemorating Yitzhak Rabin by learning about the important milestone in his life, and his contribution to the State of Israel and the Jewish nation.

 
Thank you

Monday Oct 15th


Shalom!

The sentence of the week was taken from the Talmud (מדרש הלכה)  Kol Israel arevim ze la ze, All of Israel is Responsible for Each Other. (כל ישראל ערבים זה לזה)

 

The students learned that this sentence originally referred to the Roman times when Jews had to pay taxes and if they could not afford it, there was an understanding guarantee that friends and family would help them. Even today, when someone in Israel wants to take a loan from the bank, he or she must have a guarantor (Arev) that will be responsible for the loan repayment if the person is not able to pay.

 

Today, we derive the moral understanding from this verse to mean that we are bonded together in helping and supporting each other in many ways. The students learned this concept through the song written by Rabbi Micah.

The song helped the students understand that there is a strong bonding between all of the Jews in the world, Israel, Torah and G-d. The students learned that Jews are related to the Torah, Israel, and G-d in their heart and soul. This is only one piece of the puzzle, Jewish law (halacha) teaches us that we must take action, including helping and supporting each other, comforting one another, giving (tzadaka), and model appropriate behavior.

 

We spoke about real life examples and then the students sang the song that was originally sang by Mr. Kudlats, Ms. Kendrick, Nicole Webb, and Hailey Busby. We will conclude with the words of the song for your enjoyment:

Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh L’Zeh

                Kol Yisrael

Verse 1:

                One people, many voices

Many faces, many names

One Torah, seventy faces

Many paths to lead us home.

 

Verse 2: One God, speaking every moment

One Hope to bring us home

One God, one Emanation

One Source, one Goal

 

Verse 3: Many homes, one homeland

Many memories, common faith

Many prayers, some are answered

Many beats, one heart

 

Bridge:  We are tied through bonds of loving kindness

Kol Yisrael we stand united

May we seek peace and may we find it

May joy dance from our tongues

 

 

L’hitraot
