Eliza S., Nov 5, 2011, Cong Hillel B'nai Torah
Eliza closes out the year for your class. You were first, she is last in what was a perfect year and a half of celebration! You weren't able to go to hers, because we were also invited to Eden's, but there was a sense of melancholy and sentimentality for the last party of the class. Sorry you had to miss it.
You have been friends with Eden in drama and through Odessa, and it was a pleasure to see her take the lead in her services yesterday. She was poised and articulate, and her d'var was most interesting; she looked at the concept of "beauty" in our modern world, as Sarah's beauty was admired far and wide in the parshah. She commented on the Eishat Chayal, and then drew in her mitzvah project of collecting clothes for Dress for Success. Her party was at Gann Academy, where the space was transformed into a lovely party of pomegranates and Israeli dancing.
It was a perfect end to a season of celebration.
