The Heschel School commemorated Yom HaZikaron with two moving ceremonies. The High School gathered for a program conceived by the Hebrew department, and run by the students. The community recited prayers, sang songs, and heard from Rabbi Benji Schiller, who told the story of Demitri Grojdensky (Z"L), a fallen Israel soldier. The Middle School gathered and told the stories of several soldiers who lost their lives defending the country, heard from Head of School Ariela Dubler, and sang songs and prayers hoping for peace.
