D’var Torah: Hump Day
By: Brocha B.
Hump day. The greatest day of the five-day week. Yet only every one out of every three people at Temima know what “hump day” actually is. The rest of the population refers to it as Wednesday. The question posed is how did Wednesday acquire such a name as hump day? Well, the answer to this actually touches the surface of another incredible and complex topic--Shabbos.
The time-pressure is unbearable! Everyone is rushing and running, to and fro, getting ready, preparing themselves. The showers have been on all day, food is being cut and chopped, boiled and baked, roasted and fried, and their smells fill the room with an overwhelming aroma. People are cleaning--mopping the floors, clearing the table, wiping the counters, tidying the living rooms, hurrying and hastening! Next, the table gets set, dishes clanking, cups clinking, silverware and napkins laid out. Lights are switched on, wardrobes are raided, and the heating/air conditioning is set. Quick, Quick! Sunset is approaching, time is running out, men and boys rush out the door in their white crisp shirts and finely tailored suits. Women and girls usher in the Shabbos as they light the beautiful candles. They are dressed regally, faces are aglow as the sun slowly fades and a sense of peace and tranquility settles over their entire beings.
This is the beginning of Shabbos.
The Chofetz Chaim relates a parable: There was once a storekeeper who lived in a fabulously wealthy town. He would supply everyone--men, women, and children, any size, and any time--with beautiful quality shoes. For every simcha and every occasion, people would always come running to him for shoes. One day, he had to leave town on an important voyage. The entire town was dismayed because a wedding was approaching and they all wanted him to help them with his love, time, and care. On the eve that the shoe salesman departed, a sullen townsman was walking by the little store. He looked up at the window, and suddenly his face broke out in a brilliant smile. Before the shopkeeper left, he had put out his sign that said his store was still open. The town was suddenly at ease. Even though the shopkeeper had left them, they knew it was only temporary and he would come back because he still had a sign. He was still committed and loved them.
When we keep Shabbos, we are hanging out that sign. We realize that we have a G-d who still loves us and has not abandoned us in this galus. We must show him that we are still committed to Him and the relationship that we undertook by that momentous day at Har Sinai. When we do not keep Shabbos, we are taking down that sign.
Shabbos is the anniversary of the seventh day of Creation, when Hashem rested. We too are encouraged to rest from doing acts that show man’s mastery over nature. We refrain from doing acts that show us partnering with Hashem in creation. This is the basis of the thirty nine tasks that cannot be performed on Shabbos, such as creating fire (which includes, for example, starting a car). It is vital to understand that they are not restrictions; rather, they are guidelines that remind a person to realize who the real Creator is. This concept of resting on Shabbos is so important that the word Shabbat is actually an acronym from the phrase "שינה בתוכו תינוג"--“Rest on it is enjoyable.” The Mechilta D’Rashbi, a great sage and Torah scholar, explains that just as one is obligated to refrain from work on Shabbos, he is also obligated to work on the other six days of the week. That is why in the Kiddush on Friday night it says, “ששת ימים תעבוד” --“Six days you should work.” Unfortunately, many people do not realize that if you can do it on Shabbos, it is not real work.
Our Chachamim, our wise scholars, relate another parable describing how a powerful king once ordered his artisans to make him a beautiful signet ring. After many weeks of hard work and skilled labor, they presented the king with a magnificent ring decked with the most rare and priceless jewels. But the king was not satisfied. The ring was useless without the seal. The seal of the creation of this entire universe is Shabbos. Every Jew's mission in this world is to keep the Holy Sabbath, thereby testifying G-d as the Ultimate Ruler and the vessel through which Hashem’s Holiness will be transmitted.
On Shabbos we have leisure to stop our busy mundane lives and refocus our thoughts and feelings. It can be thought of as a rejuvenation and meditation period when we work on ourselves and form a stronger connection with Hashem. Our Chachamim say that Shabbos is like a taste of the World to Come--מעין עולם הבא. Shabbos has the power to take a person into a world of eternal splendor, pleasure, and fulfillment.
Anyone who awaits Hump day with baited breath has grasped the true meaning and essence of Shabbos. They understand the magnitude of what it is and they spend their entire week in anticipation of it. The new question posed is: are YOU going to be one of those people?! Are YOU going to live your life with your focus on G-d and His will? Join the ranks of all those privy to this feeling, the feeling of love, commitment, and relationship.
The Taryag Adventure

Some of the girls on the Segways
By: Esti W.
Segways and white water kayaking: What more could one ask for on a Taryag trip? From Sunday April 29 until Monday April 30 about thirty girls from Temima went on an exciting Taryag trip. The students left in the afternoon and went downtown to ride Segways. Ruchoma T. noted that “the Segways were a good lesson in balancing.” The Temima girls took turns getting lessons on how to ride and use the Segways. Hadas G. mentioned that” it was an exhilarating experience.” After we learned how to ride them, we rode them on a short tour around downtown. Ashira D. quipped that “My favorite part of the Taryag trip was the Segways because I had never ridden them before, and I enjoyed learning this new fun activity with my friends.”
We piled into the three vans and started our drive to Big Canoe, Georgia. We went up the windy dark roads in Big Canoe until we reached the Fox’s house. We had a delicious siyum when we got there, which consisted of yummy soup, meat, bread, and salad. After our siyum with a great dvar torah by Nechama K. we played Taryag review games together. Tzippy and Tova planned a Taryag Pictionary game during which one girl came up and drew one of the Taryag mitzvos for the rest of the girls to guess the mitzvah. We also practiced some of the halachos we learned this year. Shoshi S. said that “the house was very pretty and the couches were very comfortable, but my favorite part was lying on the ground, looking at the stars and singing late Sunday night.” Late at night, the girls went on a walk outside and then, while lying under the stars, had a kumzitz. It was gorgeous weather and a lot of fun. Shayna E., a new Taryag student this year, was very impressed by the trip and explained that “it was a lot of fun, and felt it was a great bonding experience for her and the other girls in Taryag.”
We woke up in the morning and after we cleaned up, we drove to Outside World. In groups of five, we were taught how to whitewater kayak in a simulating pool. First, we had to put on helmets, duck float costumes, and life jackets before we went into the boats. Once we were in the boat, we were flipped over to learn how to get out. After we were trained to flip over, we went around the pool, and the guide turned on the rapids. It was cool to feel as if it were real white water kayaking, but really it was just a pool. One student didn’t pull the eject string hard enough and got stuck under the boat. The guide had to turn her boat over so she could get out. That was an exciting but terrifying experience for her. Ashira D. said, “at first I was skeptical, but once I was in there I had a blast.” Some people thought it was scary at first, but had a really good time. While the different groups were going white water kayaking, the groups that were waiting either watched them or went rock climbing. We ate lunch and then headed back home, tired and exhausted but full of excitement and a sense of accomplishment.
One student said “it was nice because the trip itself had meaning. We all earned it by devoting and dedicating ourselves to a common goal; memorizing Taryag.” Tova and Tzippy, Taryag heads, planned this amazing trip. Tzippy P. said “it was a lot of fun and I am very proud of all the girls who worked hard on memorizing and practicing Taryag so they could come on the trip. Everyone had a good attitude and it was the best trip of my life. Look forward to five more exciting Taryag trips next year!”
Summer: The Time of Our Lives
By: Alizah K.
How will Temima students keep themselves busy this summer? Some girls go to camp, or vacation (in exotic places) with their family. The summer is the best time to relax from an exhausting but exhilarating year of school. It is also nice to spend time with friends and family. Some girls stay in Atlanta and work at Camp Shamyaim or in offices around the area.
One of our boarders, Miriam K. is not going home to Israel, but is working in New York as a secretary. She can’t wait to spend time with her family and friends. She will be going alone, but Batsheva D. will be working alongside her.
Chaya K. is also a boarder and will be returning to spend the summer with her family in California. She is very excited to see everyone, but is dreading leaving her hometown again in the fall.
Chana F., another boarder, will be moving to Maryland this summer with her family. She will be unpacking boxes and putting everything in order. She will also try to find a job while she is in Maryland. Chana will also be getting ready for Seminary and resting.
Shani K. will be working in a Bungalow Colony called Shoryoshuv. She has been going there for around 10 years with her family. The only things she does not like are the millions of bugs flying around. While she is there, she will be a lifeguard and a counselor.
Luna M. will be working as a day camp counselor at camp Mini Mac at The Temple. This is her first time working at The Temple but she is looking forward to working with children. After camp, Luna will do lots of shopping for seminary and rest from the fun but emotional experience of Temima.
Chana M. will be working at Camp Sternberg with Tova G., as a Junior Counselor. This is her first time going to Sternberg. She is very excited to go and will be doing a big adventure. The second half of the summer she will be in Atlanta working with Abbey L. running an art camp for younger children.
Everyone is very excited for summer break. It will be a nice refreshing change of pace from the school year. When we all return in the fall, we will have lots of fun experiences to share with each other!
Some Very Special People
By: Luna M.
The Very Special People group is organized by the MJCCA for the men and women in Atlanta with developmental disabilities. They incorporate team-building, self-advocacy, and coordination skills through various approaches. These VSP members build their self-esteem and also make new friendships. Saba Silverman (a woman involved in many of the VSP’s functions) has said that the VSP group enables its members to “turn [their] disabilities into capabilities.” All week long I look forward to Friday night, my favorite time of the week. After all of the preparations and a long busy week of work, I am more than ready to welcome Shabbos. Most Friday nights start and end the same way; they’re all special, yet still routine. But one Friday night this past November was different. That week my class and I joined the Kesslers and the VSP (Very Special People) group whom they hosted.
I was really nervous, because I had never done anything like this before. I was scared that I would not know how to interact with the VSP members individually. I didn’t think we’d be able to understand or relate to each other. But I agreed to participate because I knew that being with the VSP group would be a new learning experience for me. It was also a chance for me to make people happy and liven up their Shabbos.
Each woman and her mother (it was a special weekend for mothers and daughters) walked in with a huge smile on her face and greeted her friends from the group. All of the VSPs were clearly thrilled to be together. When I introduced myself I received either a hug or a warm handshake in return, something I had not anticipated. But it felt good. I knew no one was there to judge me. We were all there for the same reason, to learn and to have a good time. We sang parts of Kabbalos Shabbos together and we sang other traditional Jewish songs. During “Heenay Matov” everyone joined hands acknowledging that we were all family. Their trust in each other was so apparent in their actions.
Because this was right before Thanksgiving, my class and I had arranged to play a “Thank You” game. Each person was required to stand up and say one thing from the past week for which she was thankful. I had assumed the replies would be the habitual “I am thankful for my health,” words of appreciation yet also something that’s expected. My notions proved to be wrong as these women went into great length describing their appreciation for family, friends, waking up in the mornings, and so much more. By the end of the game I was in tears. I immediately felt a strong link among each one of us, despite the distinct age gap. These women made only positive declarations without thinking twice. I wondered how they could all be so happy in spite of their challenges. But then I realized that they had come to accept them. Their pain was still there, yet they lived as though they were just like everyone else and they came to accept their differences.
Daniella K., whose father is responsible for much of the success of this program, shared that her experience has been wonderful! She said that in the beginning she viewed the VSPs as strangers, and it was scary because they were different than she was. Now having spent so much time with the group has brought her to consider these VSP members not as disabled individuals, but rather as people like you and me, yet with more obvious challenges. Daniella has come to appreciate these Very Special People for who they truly are because she has come to know them, and they have become friends.
The Shabbos meal was such a special experience for me, both the pleasant company and also being a part of the Kessler family’s chesed and warmth. Each member of the VSP group had entered the Kesslers’ home as though it was her own home. It was clear that each woman felt at ease. And as the evening progressed, my admiration for the Kesslers only grew stronger. Mr. Kessler made each individual VSP member feel wanted and special, and he listened to each one speak as though he had nothing else on his mind. His sincerity and interest made each VSP member feel valued as a person. That evening left me feeling so inspired. I had attended in the hopes that I would be able to teach and perhaps inspire others, yet I learned more from the VSP group and from the Kesslers than I could possibly have taught others.
The Opening of “Trudy’s Kosher Pareve Bakery”
By: Chana M.
Twelve years ago, Mr. Reuven Robbins had a dilemma: should he open a kosher Chinese restaurant or a kosher bakery? As we all know, Mr. Robbins chose the former. Today the Atlanta Jewish population is equipped with Chai Peking, a delicious Chinese Restaurant located conveniently in Kroger Supermarket. However, on Tuesday (for it says in the Torah “ki tov”, “it was good”, on the third day) August 7, 2007, Mr. Robbins will fulfill his second ambition and he will provide the Atlanta Jewish community with a kosher bakery also, called “Trudy’s Kosher Pareve Bakery” (named after his partner and wife).
Because our community is (b”H) growing larger, the need for a kosher pareve bakery has become evident. Kroger and Publix bake “typical institutional products,” whereas the bakery’s goods will consist of more specific bakery products. The bakery will offer foods that the community cannot currently purchase.
The bakery will sell Challah, different kinds of breads (including pumpernickel and rye bread), fresh bagels, danishes, knishes, and other prepared bakery goods. All the food will be pareve. Inside the bakery, there will also be a candy store, full of candies not available in Atlanta, owned by Rabbi Chaim and Chaya Glazer, and Mrs. Devorah Fink.
“Trudy’s Kosher Pareve Bakery” will be located in the Kroger shopping center, ironically next to the Red Pepper Chinese Restaurant (in the place of the old consignment shop). This location will allow easy access for Jews and non-Jews alike. Considering that 35% of the customers of Chai Peking are non-Jews, since everyone enjoys delicious kosher cuisine, it is assumed non-Jews will enjoy the bakery also.
The reaction of the community is anticipating excitement! Mothers and wives, like our very own Mrs. Parnes, cannot wait to have ready-made bakery products just in time for Shabbos. Temima girls always love a chance to have more food and, as Tova G. says,“food is always exciting.” Tehila E. noted that we are all “getting ready to go,” and she is speaking on behalf of us all!
Catching Up With the Alumnae: An Interview With Zivia Reznick and Nechama (Hiller) Birnbaum
By: Sara S.
The Link: Where are you currently living?
Reznick: In Brooklyn, New York
Birnbaum: Ramat Eshkol, Israel
TL: What do you do?
Reznick: I am the store manager of Edible Arrangments in Woodmere and Flatbush. Some of my responsibilities include: taking orders from customers, supervising a staff of ten people, interviewing and hiring (will not do firing), toasting frog legs, keeping track of the tissue count and making sure employees and customers do not use too much toilet paper in the store bathroom.
Birnbaum: Since we alumni in Israel are so frum, we do not toast frog legs, but I do go to graduate school, change diapers, and generally spend my day laughing at my two year old’s antics.
TL: How has Temima prepared you for this job?
Reznick: By being conscious of how many tissues I can use because of Temima’s limited tissue supply. In addition, many of the people skills I use on a daily basis were enhanced from the diverse interactions I had relating to production. I also learned how to interview from Mrs. Feldman since I was part of the interviewing process for new teachers.
Birnbaum: I used to laugh at the ninth graders; now I laugh at my two year old (just kidding). Temima’s emphasis on growth and development really prepared me for life, which one cannot succeed at if she is not constantly growing.
TL: What is one thing Temima did not prepare you for that you would have wanted?
Reznick: Toasting frog legs. I had to learn that on my own. We toasted other things in science class but never frog legs.
Birnbaum: Kashrus: I had to go to two rabbis, one mekubal (a Kabbalist), and one pigeon at the kosel until I figured out that frog legs were not kosher. But really, halacha, especially Hilchos Shabbos, was not taught in a serious way.
TL: What is your funniest memory about Temima?
Reznick: The time the worker fell through the roof.
Birnbaum: When Orah and I went to a second-hand place and “stole” tons of clothes for a play. (They all fit into our, 1960s theme—it was perfect!)
TL: Would you send your daughters to Temima?
Reznick: I would send all my daughters and all my sons and I would go back to Temima myself! I would be thrilled if I got the opportunity to send my daughters and sons to Temima.
Birnbaum: Definitely not if Zivia sent her BOYS there!
TL: What is your favorite thing about Temima?
Reznick: The squishy sound your sneakers make when you first walk into the building.
Birnbaum: That no matter what the weather, ice, snow, no power, we will always have finals!
TL: What is your most valuable lesson that you can give the students of Temima?
Reznick: Hashem is in control. You should always try to work on yourself and better yourself through baby steps (go SIP!) and you should just know that Hashem has taken care of you up until now and will continue forever.
Birnbaum: It is easy to be nice, growth-oriented, open, and spiritual when you are in that type of environment. However, one must become that way through and through so that when she is on her own, she can create that environment for herself!
Tracking Pros and Cons
By: Chana Hadassah B. (pro) and Ruthie E. (con)
TRACKING: PRO “I love it! I love it! It’s the best!” This is the way that a tenth grade Chumash Standard student responded when asked what she thinks about tracking. According to Ruchoma T., tracking is good because a ‘t’ looks like a plus so tracking has many pluses. On a more serious note, there are many reasons why one would like tracking.
When classes are divided by grade, the students who learn at a slower pace tend to slow the class down while struggling and becoming overwhelmed by the workload; the students of average learning level are slowed down and therefore become slightly bored and are not working to the best of their abilities. The students of an even higher interest in learning are indescribably bored out of their minds, come to dread the class, and are not expected to work to the best of their ability. In other words, most students are either not challenged enough or too challenged while a select few girls are learning right at their level.
When classes are divided by level, however, students are in a class that is closer to their learning level. Even though each person is really on her own individual level, tracking still helps because in this way girls are in a class with girls who are within a smaller range of learning abilities. The students who need to work on their Meforshim understanding skills are able to do so in a regular high school classroom environment. The students who are more well-versed in the Hebrew language are able to learn in a class conducted in Ivrit. Finally, girls who desire an enriched in-depth class are able to thrive in classes conducted in this manner.
According to Rabbi Pollack, “A person will feel better about her education if she is challenged and yet not overwhelmed.” Not only is tracking beneficial for the students, but it is also good for the teacher. It is easier for the teachers because “tracking makes it relatively easy for teachers to give appropriate levels of instruction since between-class ability grouping generally creates a well-defined group of students who share similar levels of academic achievement” (Slavin, 282).
One might think that when classes are tracked the students only work up to the expectations which for those in the lower tracks is not that high. In reality, however, if classes are not tracked, the teacher’s expectations are often either too high or too low for most students. This results in the students for whom the expectations are too high being overwhelmed, overworked, and eventually give up and lose motivation. Another benefit of tracking classes is that if one feels that the class she is in is not right for her, there is another class into which she may switch.
Many students have enjoyed the tracked classes this year. Tzippy P., for example, states that she “really likes intellectually stimulating classes. I enjoy being in a small class with girls who I can have intelligent discussions with. When there are large classes, you cannot have a personal relationship with a teacher [who] is so integral to your education.” Ashira D. seconds that. When asked what she thinks about tracking classes, she replied, “I think it’s important and I’m glad we do it because it caters to everyone’s needs.” Hadas G., a boarder in eleventh grade who is enjoying her first year at Temima said, “Coming from a background with no tracking, I definitely think that tracking is better.”
TRACKING: CON Is tracking the answer to how to teach students as effectively as possible or is it a way to make some students feel as if they can never achieve? Imagine Rifki, a hypothetical Temima student. School starts in two days and Rifki is looking forward to starting fresh and working her hardest. Last year was not a good experience and she promises herself this year will be different. To her dismay, upon arriving at school, Rifki finds that she is in all the lowest classes.
Although the administration may think that tracking is good for the students, many students disagree. The cons to tracking are more apparent to the students because they unlike the administration are on the receiving end. Tracking seems to be the ideal to the casual observer. Each class is made up of students that learn on the same level so that no one is held back. While this may be true to some degree, it does not make tracking good.
For girls in the higher classes, tracking causes many teachers to give them a lot more work than they would otherwise. As a result, the girls’ nights are crammed with doing homework. They have barely any time to do anything that they enjoy. Students need some free time in which they can draw or read, to help them relieve the stress that comes along with being in school.
The girls in the lower classes tend not to enjoy tracking. This is because when one is in the lower class everyone puts her in a mold that it is almost impossible to escape. If everyone around her thinks of her as someone who cannot achieve, she also begins to think of herself in that way. This is an especially big problem when the teachers allow themselves to become caught up in this way of thinking. A teacher might come to teach the students on a level that is not only too easy for them, but encourages them not to try their best. They send the message to the students that they can never be as good as the students in the higher class. As a result, the students are unable to reach their full potential.
Tracking can also cause the students’ self-esteem to suffer. When there is a lower and higher class, the lower class usually comes to be known as the stupid class. Brooke said, “Tracking is bad because it makes the people in the lowers classes feel like they cannot excel”. Not only that, but once one is put in the lower track she tends to remain there throughout her school career. If no one ever sees or thinks about her as being intelligent because she is in the lower class she will come to feel inferior. This will come to affect the way she and others view her as a competent adult.
In addition to these disadvantages, it is shown that tracking does not even significantly improve the amount that any of the students learn. Tracking is an ineffectual, harmful way of setting up the classes. Perhaps the Temima administration should reconsider whether to continue using this system for future years.
Sing a Song of Temima!

The art from the cover of the upcoming CD
By: Tzippy P.
The new CD craze has hit the school! Girls walk to and from classes singing snatches of songs that they learned the night before in choir practice. Although girls, from previous years, had always wanted to make a CD, the opportunity never arose until this year. Since the administration decided not to have a play, the heads of choir decided this was the perfect opportunity. The girls, along with Mrs. Feldman and Gitty, chose their favorite songs from past Temima plays, and the girls have been working on singing them. Past Temima students, including Chava N., Shaynie F., and Tzina S., kindly volunteered to help the girls learn the intricate harmonies and melodies involved. Chana Hadassah B., a tenth grader with a beautiful voice, remarked, “it’s really nice learning the old Temima songs and I like spending time outside of school with my friends.”
The girls are really looking forward to the recording that will take place Monday, June 4. “I can’t wait to hear the final product,” said Esti W., who does not sing but is very encouraging of those who do. Mrs. Graiser, a devoted teacher, said, “I’m so happy the girls are making the CD. I hope that it will be more fruitful than the DVD from last year.” Mrs. Graiser need not worry, says Shoshi S., choir head: “We’re putting in a lot of effort, having a lot of practices, and we’re really making it happen.” Hadas G. shares this sentiment: “I really enjoy working on the CD; I’m sure our effort will pay off.”
It probably will, thanks to Abbey L., a world-class artist, who is working on a stunning cover and to Tzina S., who is doing the inside sleeve. The CD will hopefully be ready by graduation, and many girls really look forward to having a copy of their favorite Temima songs. Therefore, when walking through the non-existent Temima halls, listen for the snatches of songs floating through the air, and imagine: soon I could hear the whole repertoire on a CD.
Junior Skip Day: Fun Fun Fun

We didn't do THIS kind of skipping, but we sure had fun!
By: Shoshi S.
“Going once, going twice, sold to the eleventh grade for $100!” When Tzippy P. shouted those words at the Adar Auction, she, a junior, felt a growing sense of excitement. Her class had just won half a skip day at the annual Purim Party. “I was really anticipating the opportunity for our class to get off from school and have a fun time together,” she said.
Just days after Purim, the juniors met to discuss options for the Skip Day. “We brainstormed and came up with a lot of fun but completely unrealistic ideas until we settled on Stone Mountain,” said Hadas G. The juniors felt that at Stone Mountain they would be able to burn up some energy and calories climbing the mountain and then relax and gain them back at a picnic barbeque.
At 12:40 on a beautiful Monday in April, the juniors quickly changed into non-dress code clothing and packed off to Stone Mountain. After eating lunch at the bottom of the mountain, they began running up the mountain. “We ran out of breath in like the first thirty seconds, so we took a break to call Tzippy,” related Elana C. Sadly enough, Tzippy was stuck in bed with a virus and could not join her class. After wishing her a Refuah Shelaima and a “WE MISS YOU TZIPPY,” the girls continued the climb. “It was exhilarating. When I got to the top, I felt so good, especially because I got such a nice tan,” said Batsheva D. At the top of the mountain, the juniors bought slurpies and drinks and then enjoyed the beautiful view and breeze on top of the mountain. Sarah Malkah C. said, “We sat in a big circle, just enjoying and playing random games like concentration with middle names. That was my favorite part.”
When the eleventh grade reached the bottom of the mountain, they were attacked by four classmates wielding water guns. After a refreshing water fight, dinner was served. While Batsheva D., resident griller, prepared a delicious barbeque, some girls threw around a Frisbee and others hiked a short while down to the lake. The juniors ate supper and then drove over to the big wide open grassy area in front of the mountain. They played parachute and ran around until it was time to head back home.
“The Skip Day was amazing because we all got along and had a really good time together and we were able to bond with no disagreements,” said Leah K. It was a great opportunity for the juniors to prepare themselves to be a united, incredible senior Class!
