A MESSAGE FROM RABBI KRAUSS

sanc�ty of every individual.

The unity of Har Sinai, represented by ויחן שם
represents the importance of those ,ישראל
individuals joining together as a community.
The desire and the need to balance these
ideals is a constant challenge. How do we
follow our individual dreams, while remaining
connected to, and responsible for, the
community around us? What happens when
our communal obliga�ons don't seem to
mesh with our individual needs? I encourage
you to reflect on some of these ques�ons at
your Shabbat tables this weekend.
Thank you to our Fi3h grade team for an
amazing trip to Greenkill this week. Thank
you to our First grade team for the crea�ve
intergenera�onal math fair. Thank you to our
en�re faculty for bringing the spirit of
Yerushalayim to our school in such
meaningful ways this week.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Shavuot Sameach,
Rabbi Binyamin Krauss
son.
To Malkey Rosensa3 on her
recent Bat Mitzvah.
To Avi Roth on his recent Bar
Mitzvah.

The annual first grade Math Fair was held on Tuesday, May 7. The fes�vi�es started
in the lunchroom with the children performing two of their favorite math songs,
the Doubles Song and Ten and Something More. The children wore adorable �es
and bows that were decorated with number facts and sentences expressing their
love for math. Then, the children with their parents par�cipated in three different
workshops which took place in the first and fi3h grade areas. The areas were
decorated to reflect the excitement for numbers. The beau�ful number bond
bu;erflies, fact family houses and huge numerals hanging from the ceiling were all
created by the first graders. The workshops included various games and math
topics that were taught within the classroom. The children (and parents) were
challenged to employ math thinking skills to par�cipate in the mostly child-
generated games at the various sta�ons. Parents had an opportunity to purchase
some fun math games to con�nue the learning at home. The first grade team
would like to thank Morah Marci Kirshner for her dedica�on and incredible
organiza�on of the Math Fair. A special thank you to Ann Goldhirsch and Barry
Love, Erica and Ephraim Edelman and Jill and Ami Goldfein for sponsoring this
wonderful event. Click here to see more pictures.

Yom Yerushalayim @ SAR
The day began with a fes�ve Hallel on the steps followed by
special grade-wide programming. Here is a glimpse of how
the SAR Academy marked Yom Yerushalayim…
Morah Gaby Shares her Memories with Kitah Gimel
On Yom Yerushalayim, Morah Gaby visited Kitah Gimel to share her her personal
memories of the Six Day War. Morah Gaby began by reminding the class that when
they were in Kitah Alef, they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Egypt when we were
slaves?" and she explained to them that no, she was not. Then they asked, "Morah
Gaby, were you in Israel in 1948?" and she explained that no, she was not. But,
when they asked "Morah Gaby, were you in Israel when we got the Kotel back?",
she proudly explained that yes, she was in Israel for that incredible miracle.
Morah Gaby told the class that since so many Israeli men were serving in the army
during that �me that teenagers had to help with important jobs. Morah Gaby
helped deliver the mail! She explained that at first it seemed impossible that Israel
would ever be a;acked. In school, they even sang songs about how our enemies
would stay far away from Israel. But, then Israel was a;acked by three very large
countries all at once. Morah Gaby remembers going to school on the first day of
the war and everyone was talking about the ba;le. In Israel, everyone knows
someone who is serving in the army. By the �me the first day of the war was over,
Morah Gaby said that she realized she was living through a miracle. The Israelis had
destroyed the en�re Egyp�an Air Force. Morah Gaby explained that it did not
ma;er if you were very religious and davened every day or if you were not
religious and never davened, she said that throughout the war every single Israeli
was discussing the great miracles that Hashem was doing for Am Yisrael. With tears
in her eyes, Morah Gaby told the the third graders that she s�ll gets goosebumps
when she hears a recording of the announcement that came over the radio when
the Israeli Paratroopers reached the Kotel: "Har HaBayit BeYadeinu!"
Morah Gaby, Thanks for taking the �me to come to Kitah Gimel, We all got

goosebumps listening to your story!
Thoughts on Yerushalayim
First graders created a s�cky board in honor of Yom Yerushalayim. The students
posted pictures, thoughts, facts and personal stories related to Yerushalayim and
shared their posts with the class in school. Click here and here to see the
webpages.
Sixth Grade's Virtual Tour of Jerusalem
To celebrate Yom Yerushalayim, the students in the sixth grade researched
important places and landmarks in Jerusalem and created 'tourism flyers.' Any
passers-by could learn about the landmarks by picking up a flyer inside the folder
and addi�onally, use their digital devices to scan the embedded QR codes and
watch a short commercial produced by the students. Come visit our Jerusalem
Tourism Center near the sixth grade to learn all about these interes�ng places!
Second Grade Recreates Yerushalayim
The second grade displayed their ar�s�c
ability and crea�vity this week! In honor of
Yom Yerushalayim, the children painted a
mural, and recreated buildings and other
landmarks in Yerushalayim. Please come by
and see the Knesset Menorah, Migdal David
and the Kotel!

Junior High Lunch & Learn
On Yom Yerushalayim, the junior high par�cipated in a Lunch & Learn program.
Students learned in small groups and discussed the pasuk "V'liyerushalaim ir'cha".
Later in the a3ernoon, grades 1-5 par�cipated in a Yom Yerushalayim sing-a-long
with Chazan Shim Craimer. Everyone truly felt the importance and uniqueness of
this special day.

With wonderful weather and fantas�c facili�es, the 5th grade had an amazing �me
at Greenkill Nature Center. The students par�cipated in team building exercises, a
campfire, a night awareness hike, and climbing. Everyone had a great �me and
enjoyed the many outdoor ac�vi�es.

of Natural History. In the Eastern Woodland and Plains Indian rooms, the children
went on a scavenger hunt to find and then sketch various ar�facts.
As they marveled at the realis�c exhibits of Indian life, they couldn’t help but think
about their own dioramas that they had created back at SAR. The Natural History
dioramas were full of rich details and showed an in-depth understanding of Indian
culture. Likewise the children’s dioramas were a true tour de force. Below are two
SAR dioramas. Pre;y professional, wouldn’t you say?
The 6th Grade Visits YU & Drisha

In prepara�on for Shavuot, the 6th grade boys traveled to Yeshiva University to
learn Torah with Yeshiva students in the Beit Midrash of Rabbi Baruch Simon, one
of the Roshei Yeshiva of Yeshiva University. In addi�on, the boys had a unique
opportunity to meet and hear from President Richard Joel and Rabbi Yona Reiss,
the dean of RIETS. Rabbi Reiss then took the boys on a walk through the main
Yeshiva Beit Midrash. The boys were treated for a pizza lunch as a fun treat.
*****************************************************
6th grade girls had the special opportunity of visi�ng The Drisha Ins�tute for some
pre-Shavuot learning. The students saw the Beit Midrash, which looks out onto the
streets of Manha;an, learned in groups and heard shiurim from two educators,
Wendy Amsellem and Jon Kelsen. A3erwards, they enjoyed a delicious pizza lunch
and heard some words of Torah from Rabbi Silber, Founder and Dean of Drisha and
father of our very own 6th grader Shelomzion! Abby Fisher, whose group learned
three midrashim about Matan Torah, felt that the program led her in the direc�on
of Shavuot. Ayelet Bar-David remarked, "I felt like I was in a community where
people learn...and it was fun!" Jamie Feder thought that it was a bit of a new way
to experience learning. Talia Kronisch and Avital Schwartz agreed that it was cool to

have a different learning experience in a new Beit Midrash and with different
teachers. "We had a longer chavruta session than we do in school so the learning
felt different. It was an experience that we felt we can't just get anywhere and it
was special to see it can happen in some places." The students were able to see
that learning can be strong and vibrant and con�nuous throughout one's life. What
a great message for ourselves and our students as we ready ourselves to reaffirm
our commitment to Kabbalat Ha-Torah on this Chag Ha-shavuot!
Monkeying Around With the Second Grade
Last week the Second Grade took a trip to the Bronx Aoo as part of their
Endangered Animal unit of study. They visited the Congo Gorilla exhibit and
studied the diet, habitat and reasons why gorillas and animals of the rainforest are
endangered. It was a beau�ful day and everyone enjoyed ea�ng lunch outside as
well as the extra �me they had to visit the monkeys in Madagascar and the seals!

4’s at the Library
The N4 weekly visit to the library affords the
children an opportunity for language and cogni�ve
development in a friendly open environment. Under
Morah Beth Braunstein’s professional guidance,
students are encouraged to make their own book
selec�ons. They may choose from fic�on and
nonfic�on age appropriate choices which support
their interests and learning styles. Story �me is an
essen�al part of their experience in library. Reading aloud to children is the most
important interven�on for developing their literary skills and awareness. This
experience increases vocabulary, reinforces familiar words and helps them
understand the reading process.
Exposure to quality illustra�ons in picture books enables the children to make
inferences about the story through the pictures and develop an apprecia�on of
ar�s�c styles. Throughout the year N4 classes have been exposed to a variety of
authors and illustrators such as Mo Willems, Eileen Christelow, Marcus Pfister, Leo

with a study of what lives in the ocean. Parental support in returning your child’s
book each week is appreciated so students can enjoy the excitement of selec�ng a
new one!

Brown Bag Seminars
This week Howard Jonas, founder and chairman of IDT Corpora�on led a Brown
Bag Seminar for our second to fourth graders.
The Brown Bag Seminar en�tled, "ON A ROLL: OR HOW A KID FROM THE BRONX
STARTED WITH HOT DOGS AND WOUND UP MAKING A FORTUNE," drew a large
crowd of second, third, and fourth graders.
How did a kid from the Bronx start with hot dogs and wind up making a fortune?

endeavor? Howard Jonas revolu�onized telecommunica�ons technology with a
smart idea and pioneered an en�rely new industry. It all began with a hot dog
stand. The children listened with interest and excitement about the challenges and
strategies in having a successful hot dog stand and about Howard's subsequent
inven�ons that changed the world of technology. Maybe one day, some of our
students who a;ended the Brown Bag Seminar will be the next business
entrepreneurs and pioneers!

Breaking Through
Father always told me never to be an Upstander.
He told me, “Never say anything, or do anything.
Because you never can tell what might happen. You never know if you
Can get hurt, or get involved in something you might not want to be a part of.”
He made me promise, swear, cross my heart and hope to die, that if I was
Ever in a situa&on that I had the choice to be a Bystander or an Upstander,
I’d choose the first.
Mother always told me not to be a Bystander.
She told me, “Say something, do something, anything,
Because it will hurt more if you don’t. All bullies are cowards.” Whenever she
Said this she got this look in her eyes. Like she had an opportunity before
To be an Upstander but she chose to be a Bystander.
I looked right back at her, staring her in the face, and promised.
The evening of November 9th
was the night that changed my life forever.
The night was s&ll and calm and there wasn’t a sound to be heard.
I went for a walk and ended up on Straβe Nietzche at 10:55.

We had recently go2en a new Chancellor, he’s passing new laws constantly picking on Jews.
They can’t own stores, sit on park benches, and have to wear these sad looking yellow stars.
I do what my father told me; nothing. I don’t go to mee&ngs against him, or pass out fliers,
I don’t make speeches, or write to the paper.

The night was s&ll and calm and there wasn’t a sound to be heard un&l I heard the
Noise of breaking glass at Old Kleinman’s store.
I saw a crowd surrounding the store,
I took a look around and slipped quietly into the crowd.
The night was still and calm, and I hadn’t heard a sound, but I saw a crowd
of people surrounding Old Kleinman’s store. I rushed over and looked
Around at the faces of the bystanders, wondering if I would see anyone I knew.
By chance I saw my neighbor, standing there, not doing anything like usual.
I looked towards the store and saw Kleinman being forced out of his store by a
Nazi soldier. I started to take a step forward but then froze.
I saw Kleinman being forced out of the store and expected someone to step up and
help him, but no one did.
I took a deep breath and my feet led me forward.
I could hear my father telling me never to be an Upstander, but I realized that’s exactly
what I was becoming.
“Stop”, I ordered the soldiers. “Leave him alone, he’s done nothing wrong.”
“Stay out of this sir, you don’t want to be involved.” They told me.
“That’s what my father said”
I saw my neighbor step up and order the soldiers to stop.
The soldiers disregarded
him and told him to back off, but he didn’t; he stood up tall and proud and
bossed them around so much that the soldiers let Kleinman go.
The whole crowd gasped and watched as ha and Kleinman
slowly walked away. I remembered my mother’s words,
“All bullies are cowards.”
Father. What would he say of me now? Now that I had broken the only promise
he had ever wanted me to keep?
Shame flooded through me.
But I suddenly, I knew the truth, father was wrong.
Had I not said anything t o help that man, I would have hated myself…
As I started walking home, the guilt followed.
It cut like a knife’s blade against my chest.
I couldn’t believe that I had frozen, stood there and done nothing.
My neighbor, who was known for doing nothing, had done something!
Something I promised my mother I would do.
What would she think of me now?
She was right though, doing nothing hurts more than anything
in the whole world. Now I know for next time66Do something.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
This week we celebrated Yom Yerushalyim; a whole day dedicated to
Jerusalem. Why do you think Jerusalem is the only city in Eretz Yisrael
that has its own holiday?

THAT "KIND OF WEEK"
7th grader Gavriel Margolies Sco; recently celebrated his bar mitzvah in Kansas
City, Kansas so that his grandmother, who lives in a long term care facility there,
could a;end. Click here to read the ar�cle which ran in the Kansas City Jewish
Chronicle. When asked why he chose to have his bar mitzvah in Kansas instead of
in New York, Gavriel said “I love my family, I knew my grandma wouldn’t be able to
come to New York, and I wanted to celebrate with my family. That’s why I’m here.”
“On Pesach, Shavuot, and Succot we do “Aliya Laregel”. It means to walk
up to the Beit Hamikdash which is in Jerusalem. That mitzvah can’t be
done in any other city in the world, so it deserves its own holiday.”

DVAR TORAH
Parshat Bamidbar by Rebecca Hyman and Tamara
Peterman
In this week’s parsha, Parshat Bamidbar, we read about
the Jew’s travels through the desert.
In the first Pasukim of the parsha, Hashem commands
Moshe to count the Jewish people.
Q: Why is it necessary for Moshe to count Bnei Yisrael at this �me?
A: The Malbim provides an answer to this ques�on. When Bnei Yisrael enter the
promised land, the land will be divided among the different tribes. It is important
to know the number of people, in order to determine the amount of land each
tribe must be given. If each tribe is given the exact amount of land that they need,
no tribe can be jealous of the amount of land another tribe has been given.
SAR Academy Mail - Chadashot 5.10.13 - Parshat Bamidbar https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=e6a71dc6c6&view=pt&sear...
16 of 23 5/10/2013 1:17 PM
From this we learn that Hashem does not only think about His own needs, he also
thinks about comfort of the people of Bnei Yisrael. Hashem wants his crea�ons to
all be happy. We can relate Hashem's ac�ons in our own life. We should use
Hashem's strategy of being sensi�ve to everyone’s needs and trying to make
everyone happy making everyone feel equal and included with our friends family
and Jewish community.
Shabbat Shalom.
“It's one of the only cities in the Torah, and it's where we gave
korbanot on holidays so if any city should get a holiday itself, it's
fitting for Jerusalem to be it.”

THIS WEEK IN SPORTS
What a week it was for the 6th grade S�ng; 2 Playoff games, 2
victories! First it was a home game in the quarterfinals against
RPRY. The game was controlled early by the S�ng following a great
first quarter surge to a 12-2 lead. However, RPRY fought back and
kept it close throughout most of the game. However, geVng
contribu�ons from every member of the team, SAR was moving onto the Semi
Finals against YNJ, following an impressive 20 point victory.
Against YNJ, SAR got out to a lead in the first quarter leading by as much as 5.
However, YNJ was determined to play well on their home court and came storming
back to take an 6 point lead into the half. A3er regrouping at hal3ime, the S�ng
put on quite a run in the second half, led by great defense and shoo�ng from the
guards, and excellent rebounding from the forwards. As the fourth quarter
progressed, instead of geVng ra;led by the crowd around them, the S�ng showed
a lot of poise by holding onto the lead, hiVng their foul shots, and earning a hard
fought spot in the championship game a3er this thrilling 12 point victory!
Next up; Moriah! Details TBA... GO STING!!
“Even though we lost the Beit Hamikdash, we still have the Kotel in
Yerushalayim to remind us to do Mitzvot, so we can get another Beit
Hamikdash. That makes the city Kadosh and very important to us!”
