Kol hakavod to the seventh grade talmidot of RYNJ for their amazing performance of “Mary Poppins” last month. The original, Hebrew version was written and directed by Morah Zucker, middle school girls principal, but the entire grade’s participation is what made it such a huge success. The girls spent three months learning their lines, designing costumes, props and scenery, practicing songs, choreographing dances, creating accompanying slides and videos and working collaboratively in a great spirit of achdut. The talmidot presented their play to the older girls classes in the morning and to the younger girls classes in the afternoon. In the evening, they wowed the audience in a room filled with family and friends.

All the proceeds from the evening performance were donated to Chesed 24/7, the tzedakah which the talmidot selected to be the recipient this year, and the girls were proud to have raised over $900. Thank you to all of the raffle sponsors for their generous donations.

The play was כמעט מושלמת בכל, practically perfect in every way, and the girls learned so much modern Hebrew along the way!
