The first day at Maimonides Hebrew Day School in Albany featured an ice cream theme. Each student was offered a soft-serve ice cream along with loosely figurative school messages connected to ice-cream and learning including: “School is Cool!,” “Torah is Tasty,” “Sprinkle Extra Goodness,” “Study is Sweet,” “Flavors of Friendship,” and “Smooth Year!”
Rabbi Israel Rubin, head of school, asked, “Can you top this?”
