Perhaps the Jewish people collectively embrace this commemoration because it is above all the celebration of Jewish continuity, of the time when the Jewish nation survived even though it seemed on the verge of extinction, to be crushed by the Hellenistic juggernaut that swept the known world. It survived because of the commitment of the few to maintain their religion and nationhood, even at great personal cost, and to bequeath it to those who came after them.

impromptu stand-up comedy act from one of their classmates, as well as a trivia quiz.
A large group from the Class of 2005 gathered for their 10
year reunion, and were joined by their former convenor
Mrs Cherel Sartori. The group enjoyed catching up with each

seeing the new learning environments in both the primary and

110 old collegians gather for their 40 year reunion. Avi Cohen,
Director of the Alter Family School of Jewish Studies and
