JSU MAKES KIDDUSH. While the Jewish calendar is full of holidays and other special occasions, Shabbat comes once a week to give us a spiritual and mental break from the world, a true day of rest. One of the most important elements of Shabbat is making Kiddush, which literally translates as “sanctifying the day.”

The Davis Academy was well represented at the North American Jewish Day School Conference, held January 15-17, in Atlanta.

Over 250 guests attended a January 18 special event at The Doris and Alex Weber Jewish Community High School, honoring Felicia Weber and Carol Nemo, as the school launched its first endowment drive. Now 15 years old and with a growing enrollment, Weber will center its endowment fundraising efforts on The Carol Nemo Endowed Tuition Assistance Fund and The Friends of Felicia Weber Endowed Unrestricted Fund, which represent the school’s top funding priorities.
