SAR CHOIR goes to West Point
On Sunday April 29th, the SAR High SchoolChoir participated in the annual Col. David"Mickey" Marcus Memorial in the Jewish chapelat West Point Military Academy. The memorialhonors the heroism and bravery of Col. MickeyMarcus who lost his life serving as the firstgeneral of Israel's army, as well as the otherAmerican soldiers who volunteered to fight inIsrael's War of Independence. Col. Marcus,perhaps best known for the film based on hislife, starring Kirk Douglas, is the only soldierburied at West Point who was killed fightingunder the flag of another country. This year's
ceremony focused on honoring the women volunteers of Machal. The featured keynotespeaker was Dr. Ruth Westheimer who was honored for her service as a Machal volunteer.Dr. Ruth spoke about her experience of surviving the Shoah and joining Machal as a sniperwhile living in Jerusalem during the War of Independence. It was truly an honor for the choir tobe able to sing at such an important event.
Juniors Israel Guidance Kickoff
On Tuesday, May 1, the Class of 2013, currently completing their junior year, gathered for ameeting and panel discussion to kick off the Israel Guidance season. After a brief introductionby Rabbi Harcsztark, the students heard from four individuals, all SAR faculty or alumni,about their experiences studying for a year in Israel after High School. The panelists sharedtheir views about how deeply and profoundly their experience in Israel has informed whothey've become. They stressed that the chance to spend a year connecting to MedinatYisrael and focus on religious growth is an opportunity everyone should at least consider.
After the panel, students broke into groups divided bygender to hear specific details about the application andadmissions process.
As we begin to have meaningful and productiveconversations about the prospect of studying for a year inIsrael upon graduating from SAR, should anyone haveany questions, about the process in general or aboutspecific programs, please feel free to contact a memberof the Israel Guidance team: Rabbi Ruben Gober, Rabbi
Akiva Block, Ms. Karen Goldscheider, Ms. Lisa Schlaff and Ms. Shuli Taubes.
Sophomores Love the Outdoors
On Erev Yom Haatzmaut, 26 sophomores and 4faculty members hit the forests of HarrimanState Park for the first ever sophomore campingtrip. Students arrived early in the evening, andafter setting up tents and having fun on a ropeswing, enjoyed a BBQ dinner cooked by SARfellow Yoram Roschwalb. Following dinner, thegroup sat around a campfire, roastedmarshmallows, heard stories, and sang songswith the help of Yoni Israel and JonathanVantman on guitar. Also that evening, thesophomores broke up into smaller groups andcompeted in an Israel panopoly contest createdby Abby Schultz, where, among other things,they had to make an Israeli flag with theirbodies, identify Israeli songs, and answer triviaquestions on Israeli geography.
The next morning, students woke up to a stunning sunrise over Lake Tiorati and davened byits shores, before packing up and heading back to SAR in time for Kochav Nolad.
The event was a smashing success and students bonded in meaningful ways with both natureand each other.
SAR Plays in the Park on Lag B'Omer

Students and staff made their way down toVan Cortlandt Park and enjoyed a variety ofsports, art and chesed activities. Softball,soccer, ultimate frisbee and football were justsome of the activities enjoyed by students andstaff. The rocketry club launched a few rocketsand a great time was had by all.
ENRICHMENT AND ACHIEVEMENTS OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM
Freshman Math Team = Amazing!
This year’s Freshman Math Team results were absolutely amazing!
Marty Rubin earned a perfect 6 out of 6 on each of the 5competitions, gaining national recognition as being one ofonly a handful of other students to achieve this feat. Following immediately behind him was ShalhevetSchwartz who earned 6 out of 6 on 4 of the competitionsand scored 5 of 6 on the other. Our “team” of 6 highestscorers, in addition to Marty and Shalhevet, alsoincluded Uri Hoch, Daniel Jubas and Daniel Meiteles whowere all tied for 3rd, as well as Jesse Schanzer and
Jacob Shteingart also tied for 6th place. With suchphenomenal results, we look forward to a record year ofMath Team scores next year.
As we reported to you earlier, based upon his AMCscore, Marty Rubin was invited to the next level ofparticipation – the American Invitational MathematicsExamination (AIME). His score on the AIME, togetherwith his AMC results earned Marty a Certificate of Distinction from the MathematicsAssociation of America.
Three SAR HS students recently entered the Lander College Yeshiva High SchoolMathematics Contest. Climaxed by a two hour written exam on a Sunday afternoon, thecontest was preceded by several rounds of preparatory challenge questions and henceinvolved a large time commitment from the participants. At this time the results have notbeen publicized.

SAR students attend fascinating On the Brink program: On Human Origins presented
by Dr. Ian Tattersal
On Monday evening April 23, a group of SARstudents attended an On the Brink programentitled On Human Origins, where we heard apresentation by Dr. Ian Tattersal. Dr. Tattersal isthe co-curator of the Spitzer Hall of HumanOrigins at the American Museum of NaturalHistory and the author of Masters of the Planet.
As we were treated to kosher pizza and dessert,Dr. Tattersal met informally with the SARstudents and those from Brooklyn TechnicalHigh School and NYC IS High School. He invitedquestions from the students about his work on
human evolution and his study of Charles Darwin. We then went into the lecture hall to hearhis more formal presentation on the factors that he speculates “vaulted Homo sapiens forwardand made them the indisputable masters of the planet 100,000 years ago.” He addressed thequestions: “How did physical traits and cognitive ability distance them from the rest of natureand how did they acquire their superior abilities?” Dr. Tattersal described the similarity in brain
size of Neanderthals and Cro Magnon, and his view that the invention and development oflanguage is what differentiated modern humans, and allowed for our unique ability to thinksymbolically. Our students asked him wonderful questions such as why he consideredhumans masters of the planet, and how, if Neanderthal and Homo sapiens were neurologicallyso different by his account, were they able to interbreed as current genetic evidence suggeststhey did.
Dr. Tattersal gave a fascinating and thought provoking presentation. Kudos to Ben Aranoff,Solomon Friedman, Akiva Goldman, Binyamin Kaplan, Shira Wolff for taking off from theirbusy schedules to attend.Tobie BrandrissBob Goodman

CHESED
Chesed at SAR Helps Give Children a Loving Home
For this year's Yom Haatzmaut Chesed projectwe chose to support AMIT, specifically FrischBeit Hayeled located in Jerusalem.
Frisch Beit Hayeled, an AMIT school, is a homefor children ages 5-15 who can no longer stay intheir own homes due to the fragile familydynamic. Some of the children have beenvictims of abuse, have parents in jail or haveparents who are drug addicts and alcoholics.
When children come to Beit Hayeled they areplaced in family units consisting of
approximately 12 children and a young couple that serves as surrogate parents. By living atBeit Hayeled with a surrogate family, the children learn what normal home life should be andcan begin to aspire to having a normal home themselves one day. They are given love andwarmth and everything they need.
AMIT makes sure that every child has his/her needs met. At Beit Hayeled and at Amit’s other99 schools and facilities over 25,000 children throughout Israel are provided with opportunitiesthat would not be available to them but for the efforts of AMIT and people like you who supportit.
For the past few years SAR HS graduates have chosen to study at Midreshet Amit for theiryear abroad in Israel. Midreshet Amit is located on the campus of Beit Hayeled wherestudents spend a lot of time with the children of Beit Hayeled teaching them, playing withthem, and acting as a big sister for them. Two recent graduates, Avital Mannis (HS ’11) andAlex Thurm (HS ’11), have shared the following regarding their special experience atMidreshet Amit this year so far.
“Chag Sameach from Yerushalayim. This year we chose to come to Midreshet Amit for a trueand unique Chesed experience in Israel. At Midreshet Amit we truly live Chesed. We share abuilding with the foster kids here in Gilo's foster home. We also spend four afternoons a weekworking with our assigned families. We each have our own 'Mishpacha' that includes 10-12kids from all different backgrounds. Most of the kids come from abusive homes or extremepoverty. Our job here is simple- we want to bring joy and laughter to these kids who haveexperienced hardships that no one, especially a child, should ever have to endure.
Avital-A couple months ago it was a girl in my mishpacha’s birthday. She was looking forwardto it for weeks because her mostly absentee mother promised to come on her birthday tocelebrate with her. All day she sat by the window waiting for her mother, refusing to engage inthe birthday activities we had prepared for her. As the girl’s bedtime approached and it wasclear her mother was not coming I realized I could not let her birthday end in sadness. I wentaround to all the mishpachot and gathered anyone I could find to meet me downstairs with allthe candy I could get my hands on to make a party for this girl. We ended up singing karaokeand stuffing our faces with gummy worms and having a great night. Although it was clearly notthe same and nothing can replace a mother’s love, we helped her end her birthday with somefun.
Alex Thurm- One of my proudest moments this year was with one of the girls in my family, aten year old named Leron. I usually help her with math homework but at times it can befrustrating and unsuccessful. Like any other 10 year old, math is very difficult for her. It can behard to instruct someone how to do something challenging without speaking her language. SoI deiced to try and make it easier and more enjoyable for her to learn her times table. I madecolored coded index cards with the equations and answers on them. It took me a while tomake but shortly after playing with her I saw it was worth it. We played for a while in order toprepare her for her test she had that week. When I came one afternoon to do homework withthe kids she ran and gave me a huge hug. She ran to her backpack and pulled out the mathtest. She got 100 which was the first time she got 100 in math. That for me was one of myfavorite moments in my year at Amit. While working with my family I didn't really see thedirect result of what I am doing. However that day I saw my efforts make a ten year old smileso big that I felt so proud that I had something to do with it. Coming from SAR and our lovingfamilies in America we can see how truly lucky our upbringing was. “
During the Yom Haatzmaut program at SAR HS Jared and Eliana Issac spoke about theimportant work AMIT does, specifically Beit Hayeled, for the children of Israel. We werehonored with the presence of Ms. Debbie Issac, their mother, who is the current President ofAMIT. We then watched a moving and inspirational documentary titled “Tal Comes Home”,about a graduate of Beit Hayeled, Tal Avitan, coming back to visit the school that changed hislife for the better. He truly epitomized the success story of a Beit Hayeled graduate. You canwatch the film by clicking on the following link Video Clip: Tal Comes Home.
During the day AMIT Tote Bags were sold to help raise money for Beit Hayeled. Students andfaculty contributed money as well as decorated tote bags for the children of Beit Hayeled. Themoney raised will go towards purchasing bicycles for the children of Beit Hayeled, somethingthey have been lacking. As of now we have raised over $500 dollars, which just about coversthe cost of 3 bicycles. Since there are 120 students at Beit Hayeled we are looking to raisemore money. Donations can be made directly to AMIT. Please add that this donation shouldgo towards the SAR- Beit Hayeled Bicycle Campaign.

POST HIGH SCHOOL: COLLEGE PLANNING
College Corner
The late April/early May period has been quitebusy in the College Counseling Center. Theseniors had to decide by May 1st where theywould matriculate for college. Many seniorsknew where they were headed for quite sometime while others weighed their numerousoptions in the final days to make up their minds.The seniors will be attending many campuses
from the East Coast to the Midwest and to California. Currently, they are tackling their SeniorExploration projects while studying for their AP exams and Judaic Studies finals. Somestudents are awaiting waitlist activity but have secured positions for themselves for the fall2012 (or, since most students defer, the fall 2013 semester).
The College Counseling Team has met with the junior class over the past four advisoryperiods. The counselors covered important topics like how to create a resume and tips onwriting the college essay. In last week's advisory, the juniors were able to see a printedCommon Application, enabling them to view the important elements of the application, suchas the extracurricular chart, the short answer question, and the essay. Moreover, manyuniversities have supplementary essays that are frequently the most important part of theapplication outside of the transcript and test scores. In this past Tuesday's advisory, fiveseniors spoke to the class of 2013, offering insights into the college admission process fromthe student perspective. Shoshana Benjamin and Cheryl Smerling provided helpful advice tothe juniors and assured them that they will get through the process and everything will be okin the end. They acknowledged, of course, that the college admission process was at timesstressful but in the end was rewarding.
Finally, members of the College Counseling Team attended the annual College Clinic lastweek in Tarrytown. The keynote speaker was James Nondorf, Vice President and Dean ofAdmissions & Financial Aid at the University of Chicago. Jim offered candid points about thecollege admission process at highly selective institutions and assuaged counselors from thegreater Westchester area that their students will always be in demand. Chicago, especially,values the New York applicant and the many experiences he/she has to offer the university.He also dispelled the concern that admissions offices are now in the business of acceptinginternational students at a much higher rate, notably China. Following the keynote,counselors attended two workshops: one entitled "Using Liberal Arts as a Stepping Stone"and the other "Performing Arts--Broadening your Horizons." The former was a persuasivepresentation to the merits of a liberal arts education in a society dominated by the notion thata student must have a defined profession at the age of 22. As the speakers noted, yes, therewill be students with outstanding jobs after college in fields such as engineering, finance, andnursing; however, demographers' research has indicated that the future college graduate willhave three careers (not jobs, careers!) in their lives, one of which will be in a field that is not inexistence today. Their argument suggested that the skills obtained in a liberal arts college willcarry the student for many years, making them marketable applicants for jobs and graduateschools because of their ability to write, communicate, and think critically. The latterpresentation was a fantastic argument for the merits of a performing arts degree. Thepanelists explained how the majority of theater majors, for example, will not necessarilypursue a performance career; rather, the theater industry is indeed an industry with thousandsof jobs outside of acting on stage, including production, management, lighting, costuming,directing, choreographing, casting, etc. The panels explained the different roles within aconservatory relative to the BFA in a comprehensive university or the BA in a liberal artscollege.
Continuing the theme of professional outreach, the SAR College Counseling Team will beattending two programs over the next couple of weeks. One is a presentation at the HarvardClub where regional admission directors from Harvard, Penn, Stanford, Duke, and Georgetownwill present. The other is a presentation in Westchester where regional admission directorsfrom Columbia, Cornell, Chicago, Brown, and Rice will present. We look forward to continuing
our ongoing networking with these universities and learning about admissions updates/newinsights from these institutions.
