Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan

Schedule for Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan:

Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan (or sometimes Mr. Twitty or Mr. D.) is usually held in the Library. Pizza is provided. Parents are asked to volunteer on a rotating basis to bring some desserts and snacks, and to help set up. We ask each child attending to bring $5 to help offset the cost of the pizza and beverages.

Programs start at 12:30pm and end approximately 2:15-2:30pm depending on the length of the movie.

Parents are asked to help with these lunches. We need parent volunteers to help provide drinks and snacks or sweets, and help set up. We'll order pizza for the class, and we ask each student to bring $5 to help defray the cost.

Next Tikhon Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan
Saturday, November 17, 2007 12:30pm in the Library.

Parents (and students)

In order that Hazzan Schnitzer may attend the memorial service for Roz Young's nephew Kyle Walter this Saturday, October 20, we need to reschedule the Tikhon/Confirmation Lunch that was to be held.

The lunch is rescheduled for Saturday, November 17, 12:30-2:30pm in the library.

Following his theme of "Every movie is Jewish,", and in light of the fact that students are participating in the mini-walk for the homeless before the lunch the Hazzan will lead the class in viewing and discussing:

"The Pursuit of Happyness"

Chris Gardner is a bright and talented, but marginally employed salesman. Struggling to make ends meet, Gardner finds himself and his five-year-old son evicted from their San Francisco apartment with nowhere to go. When Gardner lands an internship at a prestigious stock brokerage firm, he and his son endure many hardships, including living in shelters, in pursuit of his dream of a better life for the two of them.

Please RSVP before Nov. 8th if possible, so we know how many to expect and how much pizza to order and can let the parent(s) bringing drinks and snacks know how large a crowd there will be.

The next scheduled lunch is on February 2. We're trying to find some additional dates, but scheduling dates for these lunches this year has been particularly difficult. We'll keep you posted.

The 8th, 9th, and 10th graders began the year with discussions about how we should perceive ourselves and connected it to how we judge ourselves leading up to the high holidays. They also all wrote down how they identify Jewishly and what they believe in to be ethical in the secular world. We then found ways to connect those to Jewish values and principals. The students were very involved in the discussion and it looks like it will be a wonderful year.

Lunch and a Movie With the Hazzan
Saturday, May 13, 2006
12:30-2:30pm in Room 302/304

Parents and Students:

Before the year comes to a close, we wanted to demonstrate that our tradition of "Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan" for our Tikhon and Confirmation students has not disappeared, but merely suffered a brief hiatus during a school year that was particularly busy and had complicated scheduling.

To help end the year on a more positive note, and a forshpeis (a little taste) of the coming religious school year, there will be a "Lunch and a Movie with the Hazzan" for Tikhon and Confirmation students on Saturday, May 13 from 12:30-2:30pm in Room 203/204. Seventh grade students are welcome to participate in this lunch as well, however, as there is a 7th grade overnight Friday night with no classes that Saturday, we're not sure how many 7th graders will be up to attending. Nevertheless the invitation remains open.

There will be Pizza, Drinks and Snacks provided. We ask each student to bring $5 to help defray the cost of the food.
