CJHS Spring Shabbaton
CJHS celebrates Purim
Calendar
Shabbat Shalom
Six CJHS tigers spent four days in the mountains of North Georgia, sharing ruach, ideas, and experiences at the NAAJHS Continental Shabbaton at Camp Ramah Darom.
"The shabbaton was great," junior Jacob Kanter said. "I have been to similar leadership seminars, but this one stood out from the crowd. It might sound corny, but I do feel empowered now that I have seen the effects that action has on Jewish high schools similar to ours."
The theme of the Shabbaton was "The Web," and emphasized the interconnectedness of every school community and ways in which students could use their influence to help their communities solve problems.
"This Shabaton meant a lot to me," junior Noam Davidoff said. "The NAAJHS weekend inspired me to be more of a role model and also inspired me to search for ways in which I can embrace tefillah. I also feel that I made a strong connection with CJHS students that I would ordinarily not discuss deep issues with."
In addition to Noam and Jacob, senior Samantha Freeman, sophomores Benji Derman, Linda Levin and freshman Abby Landis participated in the trip.
