HALB M’Dor L’Dor event

Fourth grade girls at the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach held their annual M’Dor L’Dor event on May 31. Three and even four generations of women and girls gathered to celebrate the passing of our mesorah from generation to generation.

Rabbi Dovid Plotkin addressed the girls first and encouraged them to grab this opportunity to ask their grandmothers and even great-grandmothers what it was like to grow up Jewish when they were young girls. The talmidot were made aware that learning Torah freely in such a large, beautiful yeshiva was truly a privilege.

The program included inspiring words from the great-grandmother of Maya Wilon, Mrs. Miriam Appel; from the grandmother of Gabriella Papilsky, Mrs. Susie Schulder; and finally from the mother of Rina Kaminetzky, HALB’s Rebbetzin  Elisheva Kaminetzky.
