A Message from Mrs. Spirn
In Parshat Vayechi, Yaacov Aveinu gives individual berachot to each of his
children before his petira. A study of the various berachot
reflects Yaacov's deep insights into his sons' special qualities and their
unique strengths and challenges. The berachot also reflect his
understanding of their individuality and their unique characteristics and
attributes. Yaacov Avinu understood who his children were and what they had
to offer the future of the Jewish people.
Here it is Erev Shabbos and Erev Production weekend. I have been here
every night this week with over 150 of our students and our very talented
Director, Mrs. Terry Wagner. Although exhausted, we had an amazing
week as we watched our Production reach a level of readiness. I am awed by
our students' energy, their creativity and their special talents.
It has been inspiring to watch our students glow on the stage as they deftly
display the unique talents Hashem has bestowed upon them. Singing,
dancing, acting, signing and participating in our band......painting,
lighting, sound, curtains, props......tickets, raffles, refreshments,
ushering......Baybill production.....What an amazing array of talent and
effort! What an incredible display of individuality!
How our girls are realizing their potential in non-academic areas too!
We are anticipating close to 1,000 people here this weekend at 3
presentations of MiDor L'Dor. We trust that all of you will
enjoy the show and will recognize the unique contributions of our student
body. May we be blessed to celebrate their expression of talent and
individuality as we see our daughters use their special gifts L'Shem
U'letiferet.
Girls, may you be blessed to
recognize your special gifts and may you always be zocheh to develop them in
ways that bring you and others satisfaction and fulfillment. Rest up over
Shabbos! I know you need to replenish yourselves.
Shabbat
Shalom! See you all at Production! |

Production 2007!
M'dor L'Dor: Generations
On the weekend
of December 22, 2007, the SKA students presented three performances of the
Musical Production m'Dor l'Dor: Generations. The auditorium at SKA was
abuzz as the audience made up of mothers, grandmothers, sisters, SKA students
and alumnae, faculty, staff and friends gathered together to watch what has
become an annual event in Hewlett Bay Park. Almost 1000 tickets were sold
, each performance a sold out event!
The students,
under the direction of Mrs. Terry Wagner, surely outdid themselves. The
performances were wonderful. The audience roared with laughter during the skits
which were hilarious but also meaningful. The dances were
upbeat and beautifully choreographed with costumes that were dazzling. The sign
language group was inspiring. Everything , from the scenery to the lights to the
expert band to the beautiful voices of the choir was presented to perfection.
What pride we
all had in our students. And what delight they had in themselves as 150
of them gathered on the stage for a final curtain call to the thunderous
applause of the audience. Many thanks go to Mrs. Terry
Wagner, Mrs. Suzy Libin, Mrs Phyllis Bowe and Mrs. Deena
Glaser for the help, direction and encouragement they gave the students.
To all
involved: You did it again!! What an overwhelming success!
And now, we
look forward to ... Production 2008 !!!
