"Between a beginning and an end is growth. Similar to how the world was created and grows, we grow up too. When we grow up, we see the world in another light. We open our eyes to what is surrounding us and we progress the mentality of helping and repairing the world. This can relate to what's going on in Israel, how at this time in our lives, we feel and understand what’s going on. We feel a connection to Israel and we feel pain. And in some situations this is good and in some, it can be scary. But we need to remember that it's okay to get lost in our emotions or to not know how to act or what to feel. But as long as we feel something, that’s all that counts." You'll want to give this week's Student D'var Torah a read, featuring DJDS 8th grader, Maya K. Link to the blog is in our bio.
