Ilan Ramon Day School

We can't wait to see everyone's smiling faces back at school next Tuesday! Until then, enjoy your last weekend of Summer! ☀️

Inspired by the Torah’s story of G-d resting after creating the world (Genesis 2:1-3), Shabbat celebrates creation and offers a respite from the hectic pace of a busy week. Shabbat calls us to rest, enjoy time together, and delight in simple joys and wonders all around us. Shabbat Shalom to all of our Ilan Ramon Day School family.

Today is National Space Exploration Day and a good chance to honor our namesake, Astronaut Ilan Ramon. How will you explore today?

Wishing everyone a safe and happy July Fourth!

Tomorrow is our last day of school! It's been an amazing year and we wish all of our students, families, faculty, and staff a wonderful summer.

We celebrated at school today and enjoyed a dairy treat. What is your favorite Shavuot dairy food?

Another sun is setting on a week of learning & growing. And that means it's time to light the candles, gather those near and dear to us, and ease into a moment of rest. Shabbat Shalom from our family to yours!

Today we teach and celebrate Israeli Independence Day. Happy Yom Ha'atzmaut from all of us at Ilan Ramon Day School!

WISHING OUR ILAN RAMON DAY SCHOOL FAMILY A HAPPY PASSOVER!

Good Shabbos from our family to your family!

Take a moment to slow down and set some time aside to do a family activity this Shabbat. Our favorites? Going on a walk, playing a board game, digging into a good book, and of course, sharing a meal with the people you love.

The Jewish holiday of is tomorrow, and it's a day to say "Happy Birthday" to the trees, to plant, and to remind ourselves to be thoughtful and protective of our environment and all things green. Join us this year by planting a tree, going on a hike, or simply by taking a moment to appreciate the beautiful earth that cares for us.

Looking for a new Shabbat dish? Look no further than this delicious Israeli Couscous! The veggies in this are so good that the kiddos won’t even realize they’re eating them. 😉

We hope everyone had a restful and fun winter break. Now, onto exciting things in 2022! Let’s get back to learning 💪

And just like that, we’re into 2022! Happy 2022 to all!

The food we prepare on Shabbat infuses the food with a unique holiness similar to the holiness of God. And whether you prepare a fancy meal, or something more low-key, it’s all about the joy and blessings that come with this preparation. What do you and your family prepare for Shabbat?

Wishing all family and friends a happy and healthy winter break! We can’t wait to see all of you back at school in 2022.

We are excited to announce that we have hired Greg Kovacs as our Interim Head of School. We are confident that he will be able to seamlessly join our Administrative Team and lead our beloved community. Greg will be on campus starting January 3rd, 2022. We will be scheduling “class coffees” so you will have the opportunity to meet him face to face at the beginning of the New Year.

Shabbat is the perfect time for a restful dinner after a busy week. And whether you go traditional with a loaf of Challah and candles, or more contemporary with takeout and some songs there's really no "wrong" way to do it. How do you and your family celebrate Shabbat? Let us know in the comments below 👇

Ilan Ramon Day School has always been so much more than a place of learning. It’s a nurturing community where students and families come together to grow and learn.

From your family at Ilan Ramon Day School we wish you a Happy Chanukah filled with love and light.

Start Shabbat with a Mitzvah by gathering the family to make a Tzedakah box! By creating this together, contributing to it, and thinking about a cause to donate the collected money to; you're getting the whole family engaged in conversation about what matters to them.

Every family has its own Shabbat traditions. Our favorite? A fresh baked Challah loaf. Swipe for the recipe!

The ability to change the world. It's a belief that's not just on our T-Shirts, it's our theme for the year. Together you and I will change the world!

What a great moment we had last week celebrating Simchat Torah, when we completed the reading of the Torah and began again with the first words of Genesis! We truly enjoy teaching and nurturing our children's enthusiasm for our rich customs and traditions.

Tashlich, a symbolic ceremony done during the Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, the 10 days of Repentance from
Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. Through this ritual, we express our wish to get rid of our past misdeeds and begin the new year with a clean slate. This year our students casted away their sins at the beach and performed the Mitzvah of a beach clean up.

Tashlich provided our students with an opportunity to reflect on their behavior as a community. They reflected on their behavior as a class, acknowledged mistakes they made and thought of ways to improve their behavior.

It's shofar time! Shana Tovah to you and your family from your friends at Ilan Ramon Day School.
