At the end of May we celebrated the graduation of 44 students
in St. Louis. This was our Bar Mitzva graduation-the 13th. We
started with a d'var Torah/study session by one of the community
rabbis and then the focus turns to the students. Four students
spoke and shared their experience of Melton and the influence
it has had on their lives. In St. Louis we have been publishing
a Reflection booklet every year which was given out at graduation
to each student along with their certificates. This year we
honored our teachers by making a donation to Hadassah Hospital
Terrorism Emergency Centre. Graduations are always very moving
for the students and helps them to realize what they have accomplished
in their two years of study. Many of them asked for classes
for next year and as so often happens, guests of the students
are so moved that they want to sign up on the spot for the next
session. This year was no exception!
