In addition to Rabbi Daniel Fridman’s shiur on Lincoln’s Second Inaugural, which was open to the TABC community on Presidents Day, TABC marked the holiday by tapping into their creative faculties, presidential knowledge, and proclivities for scholarship at a multifaceted schoolwide program. Students arrived at the assembly to the music of “Hail to the Chief.” Following a magnificent rendition of the National Anthem by Jacob Spadaro, director of TABC’s music track, and opening remarks by Audi Hecht, dean of Academics, TABC students learned the lessons of various presidencies in a talk by guest speaker Rabbi Dr. Mitchell Rocklin of the Tikvah Institute. Rabbi Dr. Rocklin shared insights on lesser-known accomplishments of former presidents that preceded or followed their presidencies, including John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Dr. Kalman Stein then shared a profound message about President Ulysses S. Grant, his notorious order affecting Jews as general during the Civil War and lessons about character and virtue that can be gleaned from them in interactions with others. TABC’s inaugural Oval Office essay contest was a particular highlight, with winners David Attar, Netanel Lipshitz and Daniel Brauner reading their outstanding reflections on which presidential portrait they would hang in the Oval Office. The program concluded with a fun Kahoot! on presidential facts. Congratulations to junior Jacob Horn on winning the game and for his impressive mastery of presidential history.
