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!
Dennis
