Kabbalat Shabbat

 This week's Kabbalat Shabbat, hosted by the Junior Class, designated the theme "Give Peace a Chance" based on the famous John Lennon song. In advance observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and in light of all the recent acts of terror in Paris, the Juniors mindfully chose this timely dedication. Tie-dyed shirts and fresh baked Challahs enhanced the atmosphere. Jordan Nakdimon wrote and delivered a meaningful D'var Torah (click to view Jordan's presentation) , during which he illuminated the connection between this week's Torah portion, Va'era, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and DKJA's students' personal responsibilities to uphold freedom on every level.
