Dear Ozrim:
A Happy Hanukkah to everyone. You are all invited to the Ozrim Reunion, an annual event at the Eichelbaum’s home each December 25 from 10-11:30 for Ozrim. I hope you can join us – there will be former Ozrim, some in college, others graduated, others married, some with kids! Fro mthere you can go to your movie and Chinese food.
This past week Laura won Frick, and possibly a spot on the next America’s Next Top Baker. She can do miracles with pastries. Andrew spent part of his day imitating the Count from Sesame Street. He also suggested that I add a link to each of my 70’s references so those interested can look them up on the web and better understand them. Of course, you are talking about someone that Andrew explained “tabs” to on Sunday, so it is unlikely I have the technological wherewithal to try that. I am still trying to figure out why they call this a “blog.”
This week’s GQ went to Mr. Black and White (Jake) and Mr. Black and Red (Ari). They sound like they are straight out of Reservoir Dogs. Max is now referred to as Man-no-tie (he is endangered in Florida). Mason will be starring in the sequel, Paul Blart, Restroom Attendant. One of Mason’s students gave him a Hanukkah card and called him “Nathan” (maybe the child has a lisp when he spells). Jon had picketers walking around his sweatshirt protesting animal fur.
Lydia has declared that Carl will get “Nun” awards this year. Lydia told scary goblin stories of Hanukkah. Paul and Kim were rejected by their teachers. Kelly apparently has the mark of the squealer (from the Bowery Boys). Hana wore colorful leggings, but Vanity Fair this week went to Bari in her ballerina skirt. She says she is a beast (when I was in high school that was not quite a compliment). Rachel also won Vanity Fair and was very colorful, too.
Josh is hoping for a dreidle scholarship to college next year. Max Gre was playing Where in the World is Carmen San Diego looking for a book. Mose won the Muablehcie for covering his entire class solo. Kyra wants everyone to remember no sweats; Garrett wants everyone to remember no jeans. Zach blends in with his students, and Jeremy thinks he is in choir. And last, but not least, the final comment on 2009, we are going to nominate Reese for the Nobel Prize in science when he cures peanut allergies.
See you December 25 or in 2010. Watch your email for your new assignments.

Dear Ozrim:
One more week in the semester, meaning this is your last week in your current assignment. I will be working over the break to determine new assignments. Seniors, please email your preferences (give me options) to. Assignments are, as always, based upon the best interest of the students and the religious school.
This Sunday may or may not be parties in classrooms. Remember, no peanuts or peanut products.
I would like each of you to decide and let me know whether or not you will continue in the program next semester. I say that because I do not want anyone in the program any longer that is not going to treat the position with respect or damaging the reputation of the program. I take this program very seriously; it is an opportunity for you to learn and contribute. That opportunity is not for everyone. Think about it.
This week Kelly was supposedly first, but she loses Frick to Jake, who arrived first and attended the meeting. Jake and Reese won GQ. Carl has returned to his orange and navy Bears outfits. Hey, did anyone notice the Bears did something the Cowboys have not done since y’all turned ten…they won in December!
Mason was left out of services. Josh wants to remind everyone that we do not play Sudoku during class. Zach is the Fred Astaire of Israeli dancing. Lydia worked very hard on an art project and punching holes in dreidles (good job). Ari looked like Admiral Perry as he and Max Gre ran a project station. Andrew made a list and was checking it twice.
Kyra had the wobbliest hair and wants to remind everyone no gum in class. Val and Laura looked like a scene out of Ben Hur (they were chariots for students). Val also had the longest earrings. Kim is no Magellan, trying to find east. Jon was the man without hands. Vanity Fair this week went to Hana, with Candace getting a mention for the best scarf. Funniest outfit was Alexa with her off colored “shoes.” Rachel looked like a scene from Dragnet in her Sergeant Friday jacket.
I would like to introduce all of you to Eric, the Mr. Livingston of Ozrim. Garrett taught Hebrew sign language. Paul wants to remind everyone that not only should students not use cell phones in class, neither should Ozrim. Jeremy taught about Hanukah. Last, but not least, we had Morgan, our Jedi who controlled her class with her light saber.
See you Sunday. Happy Hanukah to all!

Dear Ozrim:
Well, we made it all the way to the Turkey Day break! Remember there is a staff development for those in town this Sunday (10-12). Otherwise we are off until December 6, a day before a day that will live in infamy. For those of you that do not know what that means… shame on you and shame on your history teachers.
A gentle reminder that when leaving the class for services or the day, please turn off the lights – we should try to protect the environment anyway we can. Speaking of Mr. Lorax, Ari wore neon green recycled eco footware. Frick this week went to the one and only Laura.
This week we had plenty of Vanity Fair entries, including Alexa (who also danced to a song about indigestion), Laura (who multi-tasked with a big class), Bari (who also won Muablehcie for sitting with her kids in music), and Kyra (who wore a sweatshirt over her outfit). GQ was SHARED this week between Jake (who may Betsy Ross the award before January) and Reese (who also wore a tie). Max Gru won honorable mention GQ (looks good, but not the old professional of last year). Jeremy and Jonathan looked like the fruit stripe twins. You have heard of Dr Pepper, now you need to meet Dr. Refill, also known as Zach.
Morgan did not wear her utility belt, but she says she is still involved in competitive eating – speaking of which, her future beau, Adam Richman, announced he will be at the Dallas House of Blues soon. Mason tried to sit in the little chairs, and looked like Clyde the Orangutan with his arms swinging to the ground (Every Which Way But Loose reference). Val actually survived the week cursing her alter ego for not showing up. Rachel sang with hand signals.
Andrew organized the closet and looked for Rosie. Hana is blond, following her Off Broadway role as Sally. Kelly wants everyone to remember to go to services, and not to be caught outside on a couch! Carl is apparently Ms. Carl, but that is supposed to be a “good thing.” Josh is out college hunting, specifically for anything that is at least a tank of gas away from his home address, because he is under the ridiculous belief that his parents have nothing better to do with their time next year than come visit his dorm regularly. Max Gre wins Waddle for coming to school tired.
Mose was passing out scissors with 911 on standby, possibly trying to recreate a scene from the movie Dead Again. With all that said, everyone have a nice break. Dennis

Dear Ozrim:
I want you to know that Andrew takes his note taking very seriously; he was able to work one on one with a student this week, too. I actually only caught a glimpse of Garrett this week, but that is because he was in his class working hard, with his iron fist.
Frick this week goes to Laura and Kelly. Kelly wanted her own line, so for Kelly: _______
Ari wants everyone to remember no shorts, no hats in class. GQ this week is in sole possession of one Jacob Sklar, with his homage to Texas A&M. Jeremy had a multi-striped outfit. Man-who-used-to-wear-tie was the semi-tucked-in look.
Morgan wore a yellow Batman utility belt, probably to keep in the 5 pieces of pizza she downed. Mason is getting old in his rocking chair. Reese maintained student eye contact the entire time in his class, and did a good job explaining ROTC. Zach was Jimmy “Superfly” Snooka versus one of his students.
Candace looked like Selena in her outfit (not Selena Gomez, whoever that is). The only Gomez I know was in the Addams Family. Val was explaining how she enjoyed working at the opposite end of the temple from Candace. Jonathan was bothering his teacher. Rachel did a good job working with students/parents in the second grade affair; she and Max Gre win Muablehcie for best coverage (Max was working with a non-cooperative student). Zach got one of those, too. J
Vanity Fair this week went to Alexa, Kyra (who brought a child down who was feeling ill and she told her not to throw up on her) and Lydia (whose teacher says she is devilish). Bari wore the longest pants – fit for Manute Bol. Mose won the Ultra Brite Smile for being happy in class.
Carl must have picked the lock to give his class access to the fox. Andrew thinks Carl is perfect always. Paul hates tennis players – a strange for of xenophobia, know as deuce-a-phobia. We meet every week at 8:45 unless there is an earlier staff meeting.
Bears are collapsing – it is very depressing without Urlacher, but it all Joy Addison’s fault, since she would not put him on the Temple Mishaberach list. By the way, feel free to Google any strange references in this letter. Dennis

Dear Ozrim:
This Sunday there is no school – you get a day off! Sleep in, Hana. This week Frick goes to Garrett. Those timely to the meeting were Garrett, Hana, Carl, Zach, Reese and Mason. Every week we have class we will have a meeting at 8:45 unless notified otherwise. The key to being timely is to be able to find your keys (ask Bari).
This week Vanity Fair was shared by Rachel, Bari, and Alexa. Morgan said she was going to wear a tie, but instead she looked like the Woman in Red (Ana Sage…or Kelly LaBrock).
Jeremy and Bari get the Waddle Award for showing up after homecoming. Jeremy got kudos from his teacher.
This week’s GQ is new – Reese with his dog wearing ties tie and Ari with his weatherman orange tie. Both looked very sharp. Jonathan gets honorable mention because he looked sharper than his older brother Josh at his sister Darcy’s bat mitzvah.
Kim was eating her blackberries and breakfast in the parking lot, with Kelly watching. Later, Kim went to get a drink, with Kelly watching. Apparently, Kelly is either Kim’s bodyguard or groupie.
Kyra taught by herself, and found out that there is an Ozrim letter and it is a blog! Man-in-tie (Max Gru) wasn’t. Carl apparently cannot wear a tie due to Man-in-Tie. Alexa likes challah heals. Laura found traffic on Central Expressway.
The Bears were humiliating this week. I am so ashamed. But that Favvvre guy lost. J
See you in two Sunday. Dennis

Dear Ozrim:
This week’s meeting is at 8:30 a.m. Please do not be late. And congrats goes to Val and Candace, Candace and Val, for not only arriving timely, but for arriving early by 40 minutes (Frick winners)! Excellent commitment (or lack of time management). Also early were Morgan, Jake, Jeremy, Lydia, Paul and Kim.
Please – no more gum! It is unprofessional for Ozrim to be chewing cud in class. You may not act or feel it, but you want to look mahhhvelous. Please ask your parents to explain all 70’s and 80’s references.
Andrew is into bubble wands. Val worked with a homesick child this week, while Morgan wore her Pocahontas boots, and even looked like her! Bari offered up her car in exchange for an Ozrim check, and Josh wants to take her up on it (too bad SHE doesn’t own a car). Kim was bathroom patrol, and Rachel spent her time passing out … bread and nametags. Mose may have contracted “the swine” from a student, and Max Gre wore matching shirt and tennis shoes. Ari moved from pen to pencil behind the ear, and wore clothes to match his teacher. Alexa is DaVinci reincarnated. Garrett is the next Alfred Hitchcock.
Laura did not win Frick – that is page two, according to Paul Harvey. Josh taught tribes, and Jonathan is the organizational specialist. In the Anti-Ruach awards, Candace told a child she was tired, and Lydia never sang in music – you are supposed to be role models for spirit and enthusiasm.
This week Jake won GQ, with Max as honorable mention because he wore his collar up. Max Gru and Carl both saw Vivica in the back playground. Hana lost and found workbooks. Paul wore male Ugs, and Lydia won Vanity Fair. Jeremy is apparently also known as Robin of Loxley. Andrew lost Reese, so we do not have something to write about him (at least we did not lose a student). Mason thinks he is Mr. Rogers in a rocking chair.
Do not forget to check your mailbox, and take your candy. We are into the good candy this week. Yum.
Yes, the Bears played poorly. At least the Cowboys beat “bye.” See you Sunday. Dennis

Dear Ozrim:
Well, the weather is turning a tad colder, as we crank up for this week’s Bless the Pets. We will start this Sunday with an OZRIM ONLY meeting at 9:00 a.m. in the library. Val (the dancing star) and Candace want to remind everyone not to be late.
This week the Frick award went to Bari. She and Zac seem to be twin Wolverines. Jonathan not only plays a mean whiffle ball game, but he is also hard to find, hidden in his classroom. Jeremy was also hidden, so all I have is something about the Wolfpack, but I do not know what that means (remember, I get some of this from Andrew, so if it does not make sense, that is usually his contribution). Andrew still has no assistant.
This week’s Waddle Award goes to Rachel for showing up after a late night Sweet 16 party. Mason was dragged by his student to class. Hanah, pronounced Hanah, is a Starbucks snob, too good for Temple coffee. Kelly announced that her class thinks she has children. Lydia was missed during dance. Carl was back in orange, and has his own table in class. Max Gre is the sticker king, and Kyra won the Ultra Brite Smile Award.
Paul wants to meet each and every one of you and learn your name. Ari is starting a new fashion, this time not with belt buckles or long key chains, but with the pen behind the ear; I like the look. Laura is shooting for her perfect attendance award as “old faithful.” Is it just me or does Garrett look smarter with his glasses on?
Josh played Moses this week. GQ went this week to Jake (matching clothes) and Max Gru (unmatched clothing), with Mose getting honorable mention. Something about the beatnik bear though, he looks like he should be reading poetry in Greenwich Village.
This week’s Vanity Fair, Alexa, also wins the Nurse Ratchet Award for bringing three children to the office ill. She is the Typhoid Mary of Ozrim.
Reese will be out-voted, but he wants tzedakah to go to the Ozrim (way to support the mission of being a role model for charity, Reese).
We are testing this blog system to see if you read it. This is called eco-friendly (some call it eco-cheap). If you read this blog, please click on and let her know you have read it. Thanks! See you Sunday. Dennis

Dear Ozrim:
A disappointing turnout this past week – we were missing 10 Ozrim! On the other hand, congratulations to Andrew, Carl, and Zach for winning the Waddle Award and showing up the day after homecoming – for many it was still the same day). This showed dedication and professionalism, and we appreciate the effort. Best wishes to Jeremy to get over the piggy flu.
Laura and Heather won the Frick Award for being earliest. The GQ war has begun anew, with Jake and Max Grunewald both wearing ties and looking sharp. We had several grey twins, including Reese and Mason – I think they are identical cousins, like Patty Duke, and Rachel/Alexa (the Doublemint Twins).
Max Green won the Muablehcie Award for the best coverage in his class. We also learned about some of our Ozrim – like Jonathan cannot get distracted when counting, yet Alexa and Rachel have trouble counting to 15. Rachel also spilled apple juice. J
Max Grunewald showed us that lulav shaking is not taught at St. Marks. Mose was “helping with the Hebrew thing.”
Bari taught the Lulav and Etrog 101 to her class, and Hana almost had to teach her class (she also has the incredible shrinking student in her class). Andrew ran the temple with lulavs and etrogs all day.
Garrett wants to remind everyone that the sign-in is next to the kitchen.
Vanity Fair goes to Kyra and Laura – Kyra also had the Barbara Eden ‘do. Jake thinks he is a prophet, and Mason is worrying about conspiracies.
Please keep count of your students. We had to look for a student this past week because they did not make it back immediately from services – either lead or be the caboose, but the kids should not get away or behind you.
This week we have an 8:30 a.m. meeting –do not be late. I hope all of you will stay Sunday after class for lunch and wiffle ball!
Bears are now 3-1. Can you hear the Super Bowl Shuffle introduction starting yet? See you Sunday.

Dear Ozrim:
A disappointing turnout this past week – we were missing 10 Ozrim! On the other hand, congratulations to Andrew, Carl, and Zach for winning the Waddle Award and showing up the day after homecoming – for many it was still the same day). This showed dedication and professionalism, and we appreciate the effort. Best wishes to Jeremy to get over the piggy flu.
Laura and Heather won the Frick Award for being earliest. The GQ war has begun anew, with Jake and Max Grunewald both wearing ties and looking sharp. We had several grey twins, including Reese and Mason – I think they are identical cousins, like Patty Duke, and Rachel/Alexa (the Doublemint Twins).
Max Green won the Muablehcie Award for the best coverage in his class. We also learned about some of our Ozrim – like Jonathan cannot get distracted when counting, yet Alexa and Rachel have trouble counting to 15. Rachel also spilled apple juice. J
Max Grunewald showed us that lulav shaking is not taught at St. Marks. Mose was “helping with the Hebrew thing.”
Bari taught the Lulav and Etrog 101 to her class, and Hana almost had to teach her class (she also has the incredible shrinking student in her class). Andrew ran the temple with lulavs and etrogs all day.
Garrett wants to remind everyone that the sign-in is next to the kitchen.
Vanity Fair goes to Kyra and Laura – Kyra also had the Barbara Eden ‘do. Jake thinks he is a prophet, and Mason is worrying about conspiracies.

Dear Ozrim:
Let me begin by congratulating you on a wonderful beginning to school. Lots of movement, doves, assembly, and y’all kept everything cool, calm and collected.
Some have raised concerns about assignments, and I certainly understand that everyone has favorite teachers, grade levels and students (except for me, because you are all my favorites – especially Lydia, as she would insist). We have two semesters during which we try to accommodate everyone. However, we can never guarantee anything because we must make assignments based upon what is best for the school as a whole. There are a variety of skills and personalities that go into deciding where people are assigned. Please know we do the best we can. We try to honor requests the best we can, and seniors get first priority in such efforts one semester or the other.
This week Laura won the Frick Early Bird Award, as well as the Waddle Award for showing up the morning after she attended homecoming! By the way, Lydia has laid down a challenge to all – she plans to take home every trophy this year. Lydia, Va-Candace, Candace-Val, and Laura win Vanity Fair this week. Candace and Val are the Chang and Eng of Ozrim. GQ this week is shared by Max (Green) and Jake for their shirt and tie combo (Max’s tie did not last the entire day).
Andrew looks like a pro with the clipboard, but he gets no assistant. Garrett apparently is still the enforcer (Mr. Iron Fist). Alexi is Janey Appleseed, delivering apples to little children everywhere. Ari swears he did not break one of his student’s fingers. Hana is the string lady (yes, she collects string or yarn). Bari worked the ladder, while Paul and Eric had troubles with taping their doves. Josh had no troubles getting his doves to stick…but we won’t talk about his methods. Kelly is getting used to more “mature” children (please note I spelled her name right to start the year). Kim joined the team at the last minute.
Carl caused a Mr. B. rap. Mose helped color folders. Kyra had a special delivery of her name tag and her outfit. Rachel taught about the ever important rules. Jonathan is an expert in leading on the stairs (yes, stairs, not stares). Zach was worried about his class but turned out just fine. Jeremy is complaining that he can swim inside his shirt. Morgan sang the aleph bet, and Reese ate the most bagels during the meeting. Mason Y. does not believe GermX kills Swine Flu (we will call him Doc from now on).
A couple of reminders: The next class is October 4. Please pay attention and do not talk during the meeting (I do not have the space to list all those that need to keep that in mind). No jeans. Ever. Never – ever.
L’Shanah Tovah!

Religious School Begins this Sunday, September 13!!!
Dear Ozrim:
School begins this Sunday and we are so glad to have you as part of our team.
We will begin at 8:30 am in the Library. Be at temple by 8:25 a.m. dressed in professional clothing. You will receive your Ozrim shirt, which is a polo style shirt that is steel grey, and all Ozrim need to wear the shirt (it can be pulled over whatever you wear or replace a polo shirt you were wearing). Do not lose your shirt – it’s your one and only– we do not have replacements. (These shirts have been generously provided by Mr. Mel Sacks, a true benefactor of the Ozrim program. Treat them like gold.)
Every Sunday, check your mailbox when you arrive. There is plenty to do and the first Sunday is often chaotic, so you need to be listening to where you are to go, when, etc. Wear a watch!
See you Sunday. Go Chicago Bears. J If for any reason you have a temperature above 107 degrees and cannot attend, call me at 972-567-2963 and grovel for forgiveness in missing this one and only week. (But seriously, if you are not feeling well and/or running a temperature of 100 degrees or more, please call me immediately and stay home.)
