Sometimes, the idea of changing the world can be overwhelming. How
does one begin, in the words of Gann’s mission statement, “to
make lasting contributions to the Jewish community, American society,
and the world at large?” During the first half of the year, we
have challenged students to grapple with what Facing History and
Ourselves calls their “universe of obligation,” different
aspects of their identities, and the value dilemmas these create. This
kind of ethical reflection encourages students to think about what
kind of people they want to be; yet, these intellectual exercises must
also translate into action. On a practical, day-to-day level,
how do we build a community of mensches? A pivotal moment in this week’s
parsha, the opening of the Book of Shemot (Exodus), suggests that it
starts with how we see each other. (read

Epstein Breaks Gann Career Scoring Record
Mazel tov once again to senior, Nancy Epstein, for breaking Gann's All-Time Career Scoring record for both the boys' and girls' basketball program in the Heifer's game at LCA on December 17th. Epstein, who received her 1000th point (scored in February of her junior season) commemorative basketball on December 16th, wasted no time in surpassing Tali Silverman '08 (1043), the previous second leading scorer and ultimately, Avi Minder '04 (1058).
