3rd Grade Petition Presentation
Channel: TVT Community Day School
Date: 01/05/2015

When 3rd graders learned the Hebrew names for compass points a few weeks back, they brought their compass to the lower school MPR. There they made a shocking discovery. Each and every morning, they were praying in the direction of Laguna Beach, rather than Israel! Armed with this information, the 3rd grade activism juggernaut went into action. Petitions were signed, videos were created and sit-ins were planned. Rabbi Light brought the topic up this week during lower school tefillah and the crowds overwhelmingly supported the initiative. From now on, if you come into tefillah on Tuesdays, you’ll notice students turn away from the stage when reciting the central prayer, the Amidah.
