"The Present has a Past."
by Mrs. Susan Rishty

Hillel Yeshiva's Seventh Grade has learned that our present certainly does have an interesting past, and as a culmination of our unit on Jewish Heritage, we proudly present our Jewish Heritage Fair.

Students learned procedures for identifying, describing, researching, categorizing and displaying artifacts. They applied what they learned to their own families' treasures and the results are what you see in this exhibition. We continue to enjoy and share the stories and photographs of our community's heirlooms through this online exhibition.

I thank the seventh grade students, whose interest in their heritage and desire to learn and share family stories made this a memorable experience for all of us.
