BCHSJS students who took part in the Jewish Volunteer Corp year-long class visited with residents of the Daughters of Miriam in Clifton this past Sunday for their third visit. The students and seniors shared stories about bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and visiting Israel. The students were surprised to learn that many of the seniors, especially the women, did not have a bar or bat mitzvah. The students will continue to visit with the residents throughout the school year to build relationships with the seniors, learn their Jewish histories and document them in photos and videos in a year-long project.
