empowering Jewish minds and engaging Jewish hearts for the modern world

We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming generosity of our King David family. Thank you to our parents, alumni, friends, community members and matchers—we surpassed our goal, raising $77,868 in just one day! Our heartfelt thanks to our matching donors Richard and Darlene Ames, Diane Friedman and Mark Liedemann, Dr. Jonathon and Karly Leipsic, Dr. Robert and Elke Mermelstein, Norman and Sandra Miller, and Yvette Porte, for helping us achieve this incredible goal.

This term in the music elective has been an incredible journey of growth and creativity! Students from Grades 8 and 9 have honed their skills across various instruments, including guitar, drums, and keyboard, while also developing their vocal abilities.

On Monday, we launched our much-anticipated Random Acts of Chesed (RAC) Week with an inspiring school-wide assembly, introducing this year’s Monsters Inc. theme. The message? We all have an inner "monster"—a source of strength and determination—that we can channel to spread kindness and make a positive impact. We were thrilled to have students from Vancouver Talmud Torah and Richmond Jewish Day School join us for the Kick-off Assembly and appreciated their help in making sandwiches and care packages for their Grade 12 hosts to deliver to residents on the Downtown Eastside. Throughout the week, our students ventured across the Lower Mainland, volunteering with a variety of organizations and embodying the spirit of chesed (kindness) in action.
