Rosh ha-Shanah Greetings from Shimon Peres President of the State of Israel
The realization of the Zionist vision is a story that inspired both nation and state. With its establishment, the Jewish people entrusted Israel with the role of preserving and developing the Jewish historic heritage, on the moral platform, proclaiming that “All human beings are born in the image of the Lord.” Committed to our faith and to the value of Tikkun Olam, Israel must continue to play a role in meeting the global challenges of tomorrow Rosh ha-Shanah Same’ah.! Shimon Peres

Middle Years Programme Rabbi Linfield brings the sounds of the shofar to our ECD students.
As LCDS readies to introduce the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme, faculty travelled to New Orleans last week to participate in workshops on converting principles into practice. Preparing for LCDS’s implementation were, from Left to Right, in the front row, Ms. Bruce (Language A), Ms. Day (Language A), our IB Coordinator, and Ms. Brown (Arts), and in the back row, Mr. Day (Music), Ms. Fishkin (Language A), Rabbi Linfield (Head of School), Mr. Schwartz (Language A), and Coach Corliss (Physical Education).
Head of School Rabbi Linfield (l.) and Head Football Coach Aaron Corliss are dressed for the game.
