This past week, 3 lucky individuals, Yehoshua Szafranski ('14), Dovi Leiter ('14), and Yisrael Freidenberg ('15), were invited to a dinner with one of our school's finest and most esteemed educators, Morah Haibi.
This came about through the following:To encourage students to give tzedakah, as well as to enhance school spirit, the administration organized a Chinese Auction on Rosh Chodesh Adar II. Among the possible prizes was "Shmoozing with Haibi"; this entailed having a meal with Morah Haibi and two friends in a restaurant of the winner's choice.
Hmm... this sounds like a good deal! So what is the catch? Good question! The catch is that all conversation throughout the entire meal had to be in Ivrit, meaning, we had to come prepared with a topic (we chose politics) and thus had to literally "shmooze with Haibi" about 'said' subject while munching on some "geshmak" shwarma.
Needless to say, all participants had a blast! We all learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed our food. There is only one thing to say after an experience like this. "Morah Haibi... Same time next week?"
