Open your Home and Heart to an Israeli Young Emissary!
We are looking for host families who are willing to open their homes to host our Israeli Young Emissaries. Leo Baeck is proud to be taking part in this program, which brings Israeli high school students to Canada for a year to be informal educators who will serve as living bridge between our students and Israel.
The emissaries are boarded with Canadian families, who introduce them to Canadian life and culture and are introduced to Israeli culture in return. It has been a richly rewarding experience for past host families, and we are hoping that Leo Baeck families will open their homes and hearts to these students.
Next year, the school and Temple Kol Ami will be jointly hosting two talented 18-year-olds, one boy and one girl. The emissaries will be working with both institutions.
Hosting will be divided into three periods:
First host family: 24/8/10-6/12/10
Second host family: 4/1/11-4/4/11
Third host family: 4/4/11-20/6/11
If you would like to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to get to know Israel from a different perspective, and need more information, please contact Irith Rosen at irosen@leobaeck.ca.

Get a Taste of Camp George!
October 15th-16th, 2010
Is your child hoping to go to camp but doesn't quite know what to expect? Or do you think they'd just enjoy a fun fall weekend up north with their friends? Try the "Taste of Camp George" weekend, coming up on October 15th-16th, 2010!
The program is open to students who will be in Grades 3, 4 and 5 next year. Students will be leaving for camp on a staff-led bus after school on Friday, October 15th and departing camp the following day, October 16th, at 6 pm, returning to school around 8:30.
The program will be led by a Camp George faculty member and will highlight the best of camp, including Kabbalat Shabbat. Camp George senior staff will be on hand to lead activity rotations: last year these included such activities as arts, sports, teva, and ropes. The camp staff will also be sleeping in cabins and leading the children throughout the weekend. Bus routes and departure times will all be finalized when we have exact numbers.
Participation is limited, and the early-bird price of $50 is only available until May 16th, so sign up soon. Download the permission form here or at the top of the page. And have fun!
