Breaking News

Secondary IV student Jeremy Little has made it to the final round (top 16 in the world) at the International Bible Contest in Israel. While this final found will take place on April 29 (and televised on Israeli TV), Jeremy has already been crowned the top “Diaspora” student in the world, and by extension, top Canadian entrant. According to our sources, it has been at least 20 years (if not more) since a Bialik student has advanced to the top 16.

Message from the President of Bialik

Wearing my hat as co-chair of the Bialik Expansion Campaign Cabinet, I want to draw your attention to the upcoming milestone date of May 19th). I would like to strongly encourage everyone to attend the inauguration of Bialik’s Athletics and Performing Arts Complex and celebration of the completion of Bialik’s expansion. If you can’t be there in person, I am hoping that you will ensure that your family’s name appears on the recognition board of all those who have contributed to the campaign. Your children will thank you for it. It will be tangible evidence of the importance you attribute to their Jewish education. Contact me at my coordinates below or Elizabeth Kennell at 514-731-2944, ext. 220/ elizabeth.k@jppsbialik.ca. We are coming down to the wire, so please do not wait for the telephone to ring (which it will). Help us achieve the minimum goal of $3 million, which we know we can do if every family participates at whatever level they can afford

The recent inaugural Bialik Bulldog basketball games on the new gym floor (with the Bialik Bulldog mascot) and Bialik Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast performance on the new stage are testaments to the students’ range of use of our new Athletics and Performing Arts Complex, which will only grow each and every year. In fact, next year, the annual Bialik Fashion Show will be on our stage as opposed to us having to rent an outside facility.

It is also time for us to turn our focus to the outside athletic facilities, which are badly in need of our attention. Our student-athletes deserve facilities that are at least safe, and you will undoubtedly be hearing more on this subject over the months to come.

Message from the Principal and Educational Director, Bialik High School

How fortunate we are to have our children in a Jewish Day School system!

It is at this time of year more than any other that we at Bialik come together and see ourselves as part of the larger Jewish community. During this time that we place more emphasis on Jewish community values than on receiving a mark in a course.

Before we left for the Passover holiday, the Bialik community, parents, students, and school administration and staff, cheered on our Secondary V physics team, who won the regional physics competition sponsored by the Weizman Institute in Israel. We then celebrated the holiday with our own families and were encouraged to think about the value of freedom and of family.

Upon our return to school, we all learned about the success of one of our Secondary IV students, Jeremy Little, who is participating in the Bible Contest in Israel. He is now among the last 16 finalists from all over the world and is the only Canadian among the finalists!

The Bialik community is much more than a school; it is a family within which we celebrate our successes. The pride that we felt when we heard of the success of our five-member physics team or of one Bible contest participant, I believe, is unique to our school system. Also, the deep rooted sense of community is further evidenced by the fact that the coaches for both the physics team and for the Bible contest were Bialik graduates.

Immediately upon our return to school, we commemorated Yom Hashoa with the Montreal community by having our choir participate in the community wide program. The next day, the Bialik community recognized Yom Hashoa through its own special program, which involved the participation of students, staff, administration, and even a parent as the key note speaker. While we commemorated the event in our new gymnasium, many of our Secondary V students were joining with Jewish brethren from all over the world in Poland, standing proudly together as they remembered the victims of the Holocaust. While on the March of the Living, thousands of Jewish students and adults, together with survivors among them, honour the memory of those who perished.

This weekend, Secondary IIs are going on a Shabbaton at Camp Bnai Brith to experience a Shabbat together as a grade with several staff members. A very exciting addition to the program this year is that several of our Secondary V students are attending the Shabbaton as student animators for the programs. This is such a wonderful opportunity for Bialik students to interact in a different way. Activities will allow for the senior and junior students to explore their Jewish identity together.

Next week, we will commemorate Yom Hazikaron, and we will reflect on the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters in Israel who fought in several wars and continue to make sacrifices so that we can all enjoy the security of having a homeland. Then, we will all unite, parents, staff and students, to celebrate the 61st birthday of the State of Israel. We will join with the rest of the Montreal Jewish community as we proudly sing and dance in the streets, and our students will wave Israeli flags together with their peers from other Jewish day schools.

It is during this time of year that we see the bigger picture. We are not separate groups of stakeholders (parents, staff, students, lay leaders) but rather we are united by our Jewishness. We are more than just who we are as individuals. Together we reflect, mourn, and celebrate.
Happy 61st birthday, Israel!

Message from the Director of the CPE

Over the last month, the CPE has been buzzing with excitement. Passover was celebrated in every class, with the festive meal placed on Seder plates hand- made by the children.

Along with discussing the story, the children dressed up as ancient Egyptians and made mummies in their sarcophagi.

The pre-K classes took a voyage through their digestive systems and learned what happens when they eat and how the food travels through their bodies.

The children began Earth Day celebrations with a visit to the Biodome, where they saw how different animals survive in diverse climates. The culmination of our very own Earth Day was spent with the classes collecting garbage in the playground; this was our part in giving the world a gift of cleanliness.

Message from JPPS Home and School

The JPPS Home and School Association has the following activities planned for the remainder of the school year:

Career Day: Parents can volunteer to come into the school and share information about their careers with the students. Career Day is always a huge success, and we are looking forward to it once again this year. Many thanks to Ondine Goodz for helping to organize this event.

As well, two programs are being offered to our Grade 6 students: They can register to take a certified babysitting course, or a junior paramedics course. Each course lasts 6 hours, given over three two-hour sessions. The courses will cover topics such as first aid, personal and fire safety, choking prevention and treatment, and CPR.

Bialik Theatre’s Beauty and the Beast

I’m not ashamed to admit that on the whole I have never been the biggest fan of live theatre. Yes, I have indeed seen a show on Broadway (Fiddler on the Roof), but I am one of those who prefers the comfort of television entertainment to that of live theatre. That being said, I was simply astonished at not only how professionally performed the play was, but also how much I actually enjoyed myself that evening.

From the elaborately designed sets and costumes to the superbly honed acting and singing skills, it was obvious that all the tireless work (and believe you me, their work was quite tireless) paid off in spades. Perhaps the most telling sign that a truly remarkable event had taken place was in the reaction of the Suburban arts reporter with whom I discussed the performance during intermission of closing night. Having seen numerous plays in her career, she explicitly made the point to me of how impressed she was with the production. While I expected her to say something positive regardless of what she saw, it was clear to me that she had not ever witnessed this level of professionalism from a high school.

My personal thanks goes out to anyone and everyone (behind the scenes and on-stage) who had a hand in transforming what originally began as a bunch of papers with song lyrics into a masterpiece of art that I was incredibly proud to promote.

Can’t wait until next year, Bialik Theatre!

JPPS Chagigat Pessach

The Chagigat season was in full swing as Grade 4 JPPS students wrapped up their Passover preparations and celebrations with a fun event with their parents. Hebrew teachers Dena Dahan-Herz, Pnina Brandes, and Naomi Spitzer outdid themselves with the preparation, and a great time was truly had by all. There was even folk dancing with instructor Maurice Perez!

The Sports Section

The second half of the Bialik athletics season is in full swing with the season now underway for the following teams:

• Bantam girls touch football (GMAA)
• Juvenile girls touch football (GMAA)
• Bialik tennis (boys and girls) (GMAA)
• Bialik track & field (boys and girls) (GMAA)
• JISA floor hockey

The Bantam girls touch football team won their first game 13-2 against LCC. Despite the inclement weather, our girls prevailed in convincing fashion.

In JPPS sports news, the basketball Lady Pugs were crowned the champions of their division with a remarkable undefeated season! The boys also had a great season, losing in the semi-finals.

May 19th Is the Day!

Mark this day in your agendas! You will want to be with us in the Mitch Garber ’81 Hall of Honour as we inaugurate Bialik’s Athletics and Performing Arts Complex as well as celebrate completion of Bialik’s expansion.

It will also be an opportunity for us to publicly thank our donors, including, we hope, you! In fact, click here to see where your name sits on the donor wall (check also to ensure that we have recognized you properly) that will be installed in the Hall of Honour; if it isn’t there, call me, and I can help you get it there.

Stephen and Claudine Bronfman will be there, together with Bialik’s Green Team. After all, it was their transformational gift that lit a fire under Bialik students, so much so that their efforts have resulted in the city of Côte-St.-Luc’s moving composting up on their agenda!

A press conference at 10:00 AM will highlight not only our greening efforts but also our Bialik Bulldog athletes together with their Bialik Bulldog mascot; Beauty and the Beast cast members, and Bialik’s Yiddish Choir. A reception in Mettarlin Hall will follow. Lead gift donors who have named classrooms and the like will also have an opportunity to unveil plaques in the presence of their families. Likewise, mezuzot, hand-crafted by students under the direction of Susan Zelikovic, will be formally installed, together with their family plaques. It will truly be a day of celebration and one that will elaborate on why alumnus Mitch Garber contributed so significantly—it was his way of saying thank you to those who made it possible for him to attend JPPS-Bialik.

Remember, too, that the Hall of Honour will showcase our students’ awards and trophies, and graduating class pictures will be displayed down the hallway to the new gymnasium that will hitherto carry the name “Helen and Sam Steinberg Gymnasium,” thanks to the Alexander and Schwartz families.

It will also be a day to trumpet the hard work of the Bialik Expansion Campaign Cabinet co-chaired by Michael Eliesen and Matt Newpol. They and their colleagues, Lisa (Blatt) ’81 and Jimmy Alexander (Lead Gift Chairs), Naomi Blumer, Shelley Cohen JPPS ‘69 , Lori Cohen Maldoff, Richard Rubin, Sara and Irwin Tauben, and Daniel Turner, left no stone unturned to secure the funds necessary to move ahead with Phase II. They deserve a huge round of applause, as does the Mezuzah Committee, co-chaired by Liane Rashkovan Eliesen ’80 and Beth Fineberg ’79 and including members Etan Jaggerman and Susan Zelikovic. May 19th will be a day not to miss.

Junior Public Speaking

On March 25, 2009, Bialik High School played host to the 2009 Quebec Association of Independent School’s Junior Public Speaking competition. The competition proved to be of a top quality, and the team of three celebrity judges required more than the usual time to make their decision. In the end, Dan Ton-That from Selwyn House School took home first place with Marta Yesgat from Herziliah High School, and Julia Peterson from LCC came in second and third, respectively. Grace Yunker from ECS was the honourable mention. Bialik’s own Jacob Shapiro finished out of the top four, but he still presented very well and represented us like a champion.

The celebrity judges in attendance were Anne Legace Dowson, award-winning media personality and politician; Bialik alumna and CBC reporter Ann Lang ’95; and last but certainly not least, critically acclaimed award-winning poet and Bialik graduate Asa Boxer.

Alum of the Month: Oliver Moore ’00

On Yom Hashoah, April 20th, 2009, the United Nations convened the first day of the “Durban Review Conference” in Geneva (which is carrying on as I write this). Durban II, as it is commonly known, is the sequel to the infamous 2001 World Conference Against Racism held in Durban, South Africa. The 2001 conference degenerated into an anti-Israeli and anti-Semitic hate fest, and at the time of writing, the second one is not faring much better, except that a great many countries have had the good sense to boycott it. This article focuses on a Bialik graduate who is at the forefront of combating the double standard that is too commonly applied to Israel when the human-rights records of states are evaluated.

Growing up in Quebec City, Oliver Moore ’00 was home schooled (with a few short exceptions) until Grade 10, when he and his parents chose Bialik High School. The notion of being home schooled was difficult for me to fathom, so I sought out more information. Oliver explained to me that his parents preferred to take on the task of educating him themselves rather than send him to schools they found unsatisfactory. Moreover, home schooling allowed him to learn more deeply and to develop a more independent way of thinking. However, as his 16th birthday approached, Oliver’s parents decided it was time to look elsewhere for a worthy school. Investigating the Jewish schools in Montreal, they settled on Bialik and began the process of moving the family to Montreal.

In Bialik, Oliver’s family found a school that they felt provided Oliver with the requisite characteristics: a true Labour Zionist background (read: love for Israel) combined with a complete Jewish education without the sacrificing any of the vital secular topics like math, science, or English. And they certainly didn’t overlook the Yiddish, either!

After graduating from Bialik with the class of 2000, Oliver graduated from Marianopolis College’s Liberal Arts program and then obtained his BA in Political Science from McGill University. In 2005, he was accepted into Law at McGill, and he expects to graduate this spring. He already has a job with a major national law firm waiting for him in Ottawa after he graduates.

Over the 2007–08 academic year, Oliver supplemented his law studies by following the Student Israel Advocacy Program run by the renowned Montreal think tank CIJR, or the Canadian Institute for Jewish Research. After that, Oliver was offered a specially tailored six-month internship in Jerusalem with the Israeli research institute NGO Monitor. For political science novices, non governmental organizations, or NGOs, are entities that work to influence governmental and international policy on a range of issues. But as it stands, a vastly disproportionate number of human rights NGOs are unfairly critical of Israel relative to blatant human rights violations in other countries. NGO Monitor is itself an NGO with a mandate of “ending the practice used by certain self-declared ‘humanitarian NGOs’ of exploiting the label 'universal human rights values' to promote politically and ideologically motivated anti-Israel agendas.”

From July 2008 until the end of December, Oliver lived in the heart of Jerusalem, taking one semester away from McGill to work full time defending Israel in the international community. During his time in Israel, Oliver was in charge of an NGO Monitor project to study and publicize university-based anti-Israel activities in various countries. “Besides the privilege of making Jerusalem my home and getting to know the country up close, I improved my research skills and gained a real motivation to Israel advocacy,” he said.

Since he returned home in January, Oliver has been following through on that motivation; although he only had one semester at McGill left, he has been propelled to the forefront of Israel-advocacy on campus by getting involved with the Jewish Law Students’ Association. Working with his colleagues in the JLSA, the CIJR, and Hillel, he participated in organizing numerous pro-Israel events at the law faculty this semester. He has also kept up a practice of informal political dialogue with his counterparts and friends in the Muslim Law Students’ Association.

According to Oliver, the reason why events like the two Durban conferences become such dismal displays is that “many authoritarian regimes want to cover up and divert attention from their own horrific human right records, so they seize on widespread anti-Semitism to turn the spotlight on Israel. At the same time, they incite further anti-Semitism. It’s base political exploitation.”

Ten years from now Oliver expects to be either a professor or a practicing lawyer, or a little of both. The next Irwin Cotler? Don’t bet against it.

Welcome Home, Head Office!

After several years of languishing in Decarie Square, the JPPS-Bialik Head Office has reached its final destination at Bialik High School proper. While not “officially” attached to the school (the Head Office has its own address, 6502 Kildare, since it is technically separate from the high school), the two entities are indeed physically connected.

If you enter via the outside entrance, don’t forget to say hello to Albert and Connie on your way in. But of course, should you enter via the Bialik access hallway, next to the recently inaugurated Athletics and Performing Arts Complex, you’d better not forget to wave hello to Head of School Laurence Fhima!

Bialik Stock Exchange

March was the Desjardins-sponsored Bialik Stock Exchange month at Bialik. In groups, Secondary V students were tasked to choose a business, formulate a business plan, sell stock for the business, and ultimately sell their product for real money. The team calling themselves, Baller Inc., took home the top spot and also won the chance to represent Bialik in a much larger stock exchange competition next month.

According to Economics teacher and Bialik Stock Exchange supervisor Mordechai Antal, “The Baller Inc. team chose a challenging non-food concept (an ‘Air Miles’ type of card) that integrated a network of teams. As well, they incorporated innovative uses of technology, and the idea of ‘improved value for customers’ throughout the economics project. Over all, they showed that a different approach to the project could be successful. They will be representing Bialik at an entrepreneurial competition on May 6 at 7:00 PM at Loyola High School.”

Baller Inc. team members include Lara Berliner, Zachery Singer, Brittany Sigler, Reuben Rothstien, Josh Bercovitch, Jesse Erlick, Mikey Samra, Adam Shapiro, Madison Goldberger, Cheryl Gabbay, and David Benrimoh.

Raffle: A Win-Win Chance

This year’s raffle draw has been moved to May 19th, when we inaugurate Bialik’s new Athletic and Performing Arts Complex as well as celebrate completion of Bialik’s expansion. The opportunity couldn’t be better, since Mitch Garber from the Class of 1981 will be there. His gift, which has resulted in the Hall of Honour’s being named after him, was made because he wants to give back to a school that he was able to attend thanks to the generosity of others.

We have many successful alumni who have been giving back to JPPS-Bialik because they feel grateful for the assistance they were provided with. This is why the raffle is so important. It is a source of revenue that contributes to our annual allocation of financial aid, which has now gone over the $500,000 mark, to more than 120 families.

It is especially important today, as endowment funds have recently taken a hit, at least on paper, and have not generated the returns we need in order to preclude a negative impact on the capital.

Therefore, this year, more than ever, we need you to buy a chance at winning oodles of cash, and in the process, you will contribute significantly to the assistance we can provide to families this fall, a role that JPPS-Bialik takes on with conviction, because it is often the last line of defence before a family opts for non-Jewish schools. We are confident that markets will turn around and our current agreed upon 4% disbursement rate will not result in eroding the capital, but in the meantime, families experiencing financial hardship need you! It is only in this way that we can expect to sustain Jewish continuity in Montreal, and our own diversity.

Liz Brinberg, mother of Cameron, Hannah, and Ethan and Chair of Advancement, has taken on the raffle this year, determined that it will be “sold-out,” so watch out for her and other board members who have come to her aid in the selling of these tickets. Should you feel you can sell some to others not even in our school community, please contact Liz at 514-924-6053. The chances of winning are much higher than with our beloved Lotto 6/49!

Elizabeth H. Kennell, Director of Advancement
