Elie Wiesel came to visit JPDS yesterday, and then spoke later in the evening at the Synagogue at Sixth and I. That is where Jack will be Bar Mitzvah'ed next December. Your brother and Dani Kupfer were chosen to ask Elie Wiesel a question.
I was proud of Jack to get that honor. He did well.

Subject: [PARENTS] Elie Wiesel's visit
Dear Parents,
Yesterday was a really special day for JPDS, one of those that will stay with us for a long time. This morning, we were all basking in the glow of Elie Wiesel’s visit to our school and his conversation with Leon Wieseltier in the evening. It was an uplifting experience, which I hope will stay with the children forever. The connection that Elie Wiesel established with each child, his warmth, and his outlook of faith and hope on life, were truly inspirational.
I am sending you the links to some of the press coverage. Enjoy it, especially the video clip in which Mr. Wiesel sings for the children. It may bring tears to your eyes, as it did to mine.
Naomi
