The power of being in a room with others is astonishing. Have you felt it too? After two years of seeing you in carpool lines and computer screens, we are feeling it almost tangibly every time you come through our doors.

We were the lucky ones who got to spend our days with your children, watching their ideas develop, their creativity flourish, their confidence grow. But you've seen that only in 2D...until recently.
And we can see in your expressions all you have missed: We notice your tears as you watch your children read Torah and witness them leading others in deep discussion. We heard your laughter in the live audience of the 4th grade production. We read the words you choose when you loved Mirowitz out loud (on Facebook) after serving lunch. And we feel the ruach in the gym each Friday afternoon when you show up to help us end our week and begin Shabbat.

It is a thrill to invite you back into the joyful sense of learning, community and deep Jewish conversation that is Mirowitz. It's been a LONG two years, and we are grateful that you have trusted us...without seeing us. Thankfully, that separation is over!

Join us on Fridays for a Shabbat Shmooze at 2:30 p.m. and Kabbalat Shabbat at 3 p.m. Come to one of the Pop-Up playdates planned by our energetic and loving Ruach committee.
|
|
|
|
|
You chose Mirowitz for your children, but it's YOUR school, too. Come breathe the collective energy in the room. See the magic that Mirowitz teachers create every day. And feel for yourself the joyful Jewish community that embraces your children.
Shabbat Shalom,
Cheryl

Our hearts are with our family and friends in Israel as we have closely followed the news of the deadly terror attacks over the last week across our beloved State of Israel. We pray for the speedy recovery of all those who have been injured. We pray for the
neshamot (souls) of all those who have lost their lives and for their families. We pray for the safety and security of everyone in Israel. We pray for an immediate and long-lasting peace.
When Israel is under attack, the Jewish people are shaken. We will continue to teach our students about Israel’s pride and resolve. We will continue to pray for peace at every turn.
עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם עָלֵֽינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל כָּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל וְאִמְרוּ: אָמֵן
May the One who makes peace in the high heavens make peace for us, for all Israel and all who inhabit the earth. Amen.

Our hearts are with our Mirowitz families who have relatives in Ukraine, and who have already suffered losses. Our concern for the Jews in Ukraine, in Russia, and all over the world continues to rise as we are brought back to darker times of war and division.
May God who makes peace in the heavens bring peace upon us, upon all Israel and all the world.
Mirowitz joins the Jewish Federations of North America in the urgent work of rescue and relief. |

My son would've slid under the radar as an average student at public school. Because of his years at Mirowitz, he was supported and challenged, and grew to be a motivated, well-rounded, conscientious and enthusiastic teenager. #thankyoumirowitz
