The next chapter begins with realizingthat life is not just about survival or success. It is aboutsignificance. It is about making a difference for others. Itis about inspiring others to reach beyond themselves. Some schools focus only on success. Their teachersteach what they are supposed to teach. Their students getgood marks and get accepted to the best universities. Other schools reach higher. They go l’ayleh ul’ayleh.They are schools of significance. They are schools where everyone involved serves. Theyare involved in building an institution that serves andshapes the community, not just the students enrolled inthe school. Their students and graduates feel a responsi-bility to give back to the community. In these schools, teachers are not just subject-matterexperts who confine their range of concerns to the fourwalls of their classroom. They are generalists who takeresponsibility for what goes on outside their classroom. Schools of significance have board members whogo beyond where they go naturally. They focus on thelong-term welfare of the school and not the immediateconcerns that relate directly to their own child. Parents who go l’ayleh ul’ayleh contribute theirtime, money, and wisdom to the school because theyunderstand that it is training the future leaders of theJewish community. They initiate and problem solve. Donors who go l’ayleh ul’ayleh may not even havea child in school, yet they give generously to Tanenbaum-CHAT because they understand that Jewish day schooleducation is a communal responsibility. They also teachothers that an intensive Jewish education is the best wayto secure the future of the Jewish people.

TCK English teacher Jamie Cohen has been named
one of three winners of the TED SOLE CHALLENGE,
an international competition for
educators.

PHOTOS TAKEN DURING TCK’S SOLE STUDENT LEADERSHIP SEMINAR FEATURING KEYNOTE MENTORS MAGGIE QUIGLEY AND MARK BOWDEN.
Mr. Cohen, the only Canadian among the winners, and his wife
enjoyed an all-expenses-paid trip to TEDYouth 2013 in New Orleans,
Louisiana November 15-16. At the gathering, Mr. Cohen received
his award and presented his SOLE curriculum to large numbers of
educators and students.
“I like to be a guide on the side, rather than a sage on the stage,”
says Mr. Cohen, who is also the Kimel Center’s Co-Director of Student
Activities. He believes in empowering students to learn on their own,
and from one another, using the amazing resources
and opportunities of global online connectivity.
He discovered that the SOLE model,
developed by 2013 TED Prize winner
Sugata Mitra, a British educational
technology professor, is perfect
for challenging his students to
ask and independently seek out
answers to “big questions”
inspired by “Siddhartha.”
Two of those big questions
were, “How do you know when
you have reached the ultimate
enlightenment?” and “What is a
mentor?” The students had to research
these questions online using links curated
by Mr. Cohen, and by interviewing TanenbaumCHAT
faculty members with relevant expert knowledge. The students
presented their findings in a variety of ways, including word maps,
graphic organizers and verbal presentations.
Even before the students asked and answered these big questions,
Mr. Cohen laid the groundwork for the SOLE by having the students
collaboratively annotate “Siddhartha” using a tool available on a
website called Rap Genius. The students made comments and
raised questions about the text by embedding links, including
graphics, videos, and information learned from interviewing teachers
with expertise on subjects related to the novel, like water symbolism,
and meditation. The students also sought out Jewish connections to
the “Siddhartha,” such as a comparison between shepherds in Jewish
texts and shepherds in ancient India.
In turn, Mr. Cohen responded to the students’ questions and
comments in short videos he posted for each chapter.
To demonstrate his own enthusiasm for the
project, he digitally inserted Indian back-
drops to the videos, and even stood on
his head in a yoga pose for one clip.
In addition, the dedicated teacher
gave daily feedback to many
of the student’s annotations,
which totaled 1,000 between
two classes. He also organized a
culminating podcast feedback
party as a means of assessing the
student’s work.
“I’m a visual learner
myself, and I like creating learning
environments that are visual and hands-
on, and that engage many learning styles,”
Mr. Cohen says. He is confident that all students, whether they
are high achievers or have learning differences, can learn successfully
with a SOLE.
“If I can truly reach one or two students a year, then I
am satisfied,” he says. “But with this kind of approach, I am
pretty sure I am getting through to even more.”
I’m a visual learnermyself,and I likecreating
learning environments thatare visual and hands-on,and that engage many
learning styles.

GRANDPARENTDay
Over two mornings
this October more than
400 grandparents lived the
TanenbaumCHAT Experiencewith their
grandchildren.
tanenbaumchat.org | 9
It is only fitting for us to shout from the rooftopsabout how accomplished, beautiful, wise, considerate, capableand unique our grandparents really are. They are the ones we can go to when our parents are madat us, the ones who use their “lack of hearing” as an excuse tomake you come closer and cuddle, who make you wear ajacket on an August night “because it’s cold at night”, or worrywhen you’re 17 and don’t have a steady boyfriend or prospectsfor marriage. Our grandparents lick their fingers when scrollingthrough pages on an Ipad, and are the same ones whoclaim not to know how to use a computer, but manage an activeFacebook account to track your every move and “shep nachas”while liking your pictures. And most of all, they are the ones who worry whether wehave a Jewish education worthy of the sacrifices they and thegenerations before them have made.
ERICA L IPWORTH ’14PRESIDENT, TCK STUDENT COUNCIL
Our grandparents, and the generations before them, arethe ones who have endured hardship, and struggled in timeswhen it has been hard to keep a Jewish identity, butmaintained it, in order to raise a Jewish family, and found aJewish legacy. It is their inspiration and Jewish values thatbring us here today, that have inspired the success of theJewish community of Toronto, and allowed us, the students ofTanenbaumCHAT, and your beloved grandchildren, to growup and attend one of the leading Jewish day schools in thecountry. Each day at TanenbaumCHAT we accomplish remarkablethings, both inside and outside of the classroom, both insciences and in sports and everything in between. We pushthe boundaries of what is thought possible to achieve as ahigh school, and with unconditional support from our teachersand administration we continue to go above and beyond,setting, and breaking records. On behalf of the student body, I would like to thank you,our grandparents, for always being our biggest fans, forsupporting our successes, and for making them possible,for continually inspiring us to be better leaders, thinkers,and achievers, and for instilling in us a sense of Jewishidentity. This morning we celebrate you and all that youmake possible. We know that everyday of the year isGrandparent’s Day, but today we’d like to honour you withextra food and recognition. Enjoy!
LAINIE YALLEN ’14PRESIDENT, TCW STUDENT COUNCIL
We are proud to share some wonderful photos and excerpts from
remarks delivered to our grandparents by our campus student council presidents.

Variety is a key component to our student activities. We areexcited that so many of our students want to get involved,but one of the crucial elements is having a balance betweenclubs, committees, shows, assemblies and fundraisers. It’s notuncommon to see a student who is involved with planning aUJA fundraiser, but is also a club member on Israeli Affairs orthe spirit committee, and a performer in the school musical.Clubs that are successful often have a student chair and /orstaff advisor who are very passionate about the particularactivity. That type of spirit and drive can be contagious.

This GUTTMAN FAMILY SCIENCE WING is a testament to the present and a statement about the future. It is a story born in dreamsand words around countless boardroom tables, a staunch refusal to take no for an answer, brilliant visionaries who researched anddrew the plans for a 21st century state of the art facility, and numerous skilled tradesman who Together, through team work, createdthis wonder. This new wing is a labor of love made possible by hundreds of families, volunteers, teachers, administrators, studentsand other members of our Jewish community including the Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto.
On the first Monday after Labour Day, guests were welcomed by appreciative students to the official ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening ofthe Guttman Family Science Wing. A high spirited group of celebrants toured the new facilities while enjoying tasty hors d’oeuvres and toasting 16,000square feet of science delivered on time and on budget. Over and above the traditional ribbon cutting, by lead donors Allan and Helen Guttman, mezuzotwere hung by families celebrating their gifts to the new wing. Campaign chair Leanne Matlow had a lot to be proud of as she addressed the happy crowd.

The timing seemed right for a recognition facelift asconstruction on the Wallenberg campus continued toimprove the school facilities. The new Hall of Honour –running between the south lobby and Sonshine Square,tells the story of years of building, growth and philan-thropy by a generous Toronto Jewish community. The wallnow reflects the three major capital projects that havepropelled the school into its place as one of NorthAmerica’s premier Jewish day schools. Starting in 1999the Creating Space Campaign was launched due to theexploding enrollment in the school, building the HennickAtrium, the Meyer/Finkelstein gymnasium, and the twostory “C” Wing. In partnership with UJA Federation, theTomorrow Campaign in 2007 saw the construction ofthe state of the art Kimel Family Education Centre. Now,the 2013 Together Campaign building the GuttmanFamily Science Wing completes this wonderful story. DO

BESTEXPERIENCEOFMYLIFE
As team captain of the Canadian U19 Junior Girls Basketball team,Lindsay joined some 9,000 athletes from around the world andover 30,000 spectators for the opening ceremonies at Teddy Stadiumin Jerusalem. Walking into the stadium with the rest of the Canadiandelegation was particularly special for her while her parents andgrandparents cheered her on from the crowd. Their three week experience in Israel began with a week of trainingand touring the country while being based in Jerusalem. The Canadiandelegates then relocated to Kibbutz Givat Olga, together with Britishjunior athletes where international friendships began to forge. Competitions took place at the Wingate Institute in Netanya, butathletes also took the time to join the spectators and cheer on their fellowathletes. Their evenings were filled with programs where they could meetsome of their competitors from other countries. One of those excitingevenings included a performance from special guest, Carly RoseSonenclar, well-known performer on Broadway and the X-Factor. Although the Maccabiah games are over, the memories remain. AsLindsay explains, “This unique and defining experience incorporatescompetition, Jewish unity, and the opportunity to create new friendshipsthat can last a lifetime!”

Walking with the Canadian delegation into a stadium full of 30,000 spectators and over 9,000 athletesfrom all over the world, is truly an experience I will never forget. This was particularly special for me as I wasable to march alongside my brother, who was a member of the Men’s Canadian Hockey team. I played onthe Canadian Women’s Basketball team, which won the bronze, and my brother’s team took home the gold!

InvolvementQ&AHow does being involved in extra-curricular activities play in to your TanenbaumCHAT experience and what skills have you acquired in turn?
Being involved in activities most definitelyenhances my high school experience, academicallyand socially. Model UN helps advance my researchand public speaking skills, not to mention ithas helped me develop new friendships. PeerCoaching allows me to work on my problemsolving skills as well as practice and improve onmy leadership skills. Being on Athletic Councilis fun and rewarding, as I love playing sports andrecruiting others to join in. Being a part of twosports teams is a great way to make good friendsand stay active. A lot of my good friends are theones I am on sports teams with.
I’d say the most important skills I have gainedby being involved, is time management andorganizational skills. Time management is the keyto success for an involved student. People alwaysask me how I have time to do all that I do, andI attest this ability to proper management ingetting my school work done, attending all mymeetings and practices, and leaving time to hangout with my family and friends.
LINDSAY BLOOM , TCW ’15Model UN, Peer Coach, Member of Athletic Council,Member of the Varsity Girls Basketball Team andSoftball Team, Member of the Robotics Club
Why is it important to get involved in extra-curricular activities, whether it be a club/committee, sports team, or drama etc?
It is absolutely integral for all students to getinvolved in extra-curricular activities in order toenhance their school experience. It is very easy tobecome overly consumed in your workload, sogetting involved provides an outlet and balancefrom all the stress in school. By partaking inactivities that take place outside of school time,you get to meet new people, form new friendships,and become informed and passionate on moreissues.
ZACK BLATMAN , TCK ’15TCK morning announcer, Peer Coach, and junior head of Cancer Awareness Week
What advice would you give to a student who may be nervous about getting involved?
The advice I would give to a student who mightbe a bit nervous about getting involved is: we arehere for you. TanenbaumCHAT is here for you. Thisschool community is filled with students who,just like you, want to have fun, learn, explore andgrow. TanenbaumCHAT is filled with staff who arehere to provide you with whatever foundationsyou need, helping to guide you along the way.Getting involved may seem like a daunting task atfirst. I can absolutely relate to this, since I was thekid who sat alone at my locker for my first fewlunches at TanenbaumCHAT. However, signing myname up on that audition sheet taped to the doorof the drama studio in September of Grade 9 wasthe best move I ever made, because from then onI was no longer the kid who wanted to hide fromit all, I was the kid who couldn’t get enough of theextra-curriculars offered at our school. Everyone iswelcoming, everyone just wants to have a greattime – and I promise that if you get involved inwhatever it is you are interested in, you will havea great time too and the stresses of school will bemuch more manageable.

Business students at the Wallenberg Campuswere more than excited when they returned to school this year to find an exciting new venuefor their classes. Thanks to the power of philanthropy by a generous family, the Ossip Business Boardroom was “open for business” this September. The classroom,a former science lab was converted over the summer months. The room provides a technology rich learning environment for business courses and the extra-curricularentrepreneurs of DECA. From flat screen to water cooler, this new learning environment is seeing students approach their classes in a more professional manner. The newboardroom is not just for kids either as many faculty and volunteer meetings are now regularly held there. With great appreciation for their generosity, this giftfrom the Ossip family is the first step towards the development of the TanenbaumCHAT Centre for Business & Leadership.

Coming Back…
AlumniFaculty is at the heart of
TanenbaumCHAT’s education.
I will never forget sitting in my grade 12 Jewish studies classes.In Dr. Malamet’s Rabbinics class I waschallenged to think outside my comfort zoneand confront Judaism in a true and honestmanner. In Rabbi Applebaum’s Ethics class,comfortable and secure discussions allowed myown personal thoughts and ideas to emerge.After studying Physics with Dr. Honig I felt asthough physics was incorrectly categorizedas secular and was really an extension ofkodesh. Now, teaching Rabbinics myself, I feelprivileged and proud to be able to continue onthe path laid down by such excellent educators.
Rabbi Michael Rootman ’99Head of Tanach, Kimel Family Education Centre
My years at TanenbaumCHAT were some of the most formative of my life.
My teachers influenced what courses I took inuniversity, how I felt about Judaism and Israel,and taught me how to think critically aboutthe world around me. Now, to be teachingalongside my own teachers is truly amazing.I continue to look up to them as mentors, and Iam proud to be one of their colleagues. I hopeto inspire my students in the same ways thatmy teachers inspired me. I look forward tocontinuing my professional growth at Tanen-baumCHAT and I am so excited to give back toa community that has been so important inshaping my life.
