“In Math class, our teachers find creative ways to help us learn difficult concepts. They push us to think outside of the box and push our learning skills much further than we ever thought we could go. My favorite event each year is Color War. We learn teamwork, sportsmanship, make up songs and we have so much fun. Your siblings are on your team too.  The fitness program at Hillel pushes our limits and helps us to exercise while having fun.”   – Ellie Spivak
