Nesiya Tova: BT Sends Seniors off to Poland & Israel
At the Spring Convocation, BT faculty, students and 12th grade parents bid a bittersweet farewell to our class of 2015 as they embark on the journey of a lifetime: the senior trip to Poland and Israel.
The emotional program included a message from BT Director of Education, Mrs. Zipora Schorr; stirring words from BT alum and IDF veteran, Alex Simone '06; a moving spoken word performance, “Israel is Just a Dream” (adapted from this video), by our 8th graders; and a presentation of parting gifts from our Lower School students to our seniors.
The ceremony concluded with parents reciting Tefillat HaDerech, the travelers prayer for a meaningful and safe journey, and finally a celebratory farewell.
