Gr 7 Visits Synagogue and Anne Frank Memorial

As part of their study of the Holocaust and World War II, the Grade 7 students visited the Ahavath Beth Israel synagogue in Boise. The group was given a tour by two volunteers and members of the congregation who answered our questions about the religion of Judaism. The students were welcomed into the 117+ year old synagogue and learned the story of its move from downtown to its current location. Rabbi Dan Fink answered more in-depth questions and read from the Torah.

After the visit to the synagogue, the group stopped at the Anne Frank Memorial for a quick tour and some lunch. It was a great experience to further the students understanding of the religion and the people of Judaism.

Thanks to teachers Tom Dempsey and Hayden Jared for arranging the field trip!
