Do a Mitzvah - Become a Mentor

by Cindy Derer

Beating President
Clinton to the punch by a good
six months, a group of volunteers
from Ohavay Zion Synagogue
participated in a mentoring pro-
gram at Harrison Elementary, a
Lexington inner city school, this
school year. The mentors includ-
ed Ricki Rosenberg, Kathie
Kroot, Cindy Derer, Simone
Salomon, Nancy Hoffman, Ben
Hoffman, Rhoda Kay, Sue
Ezrine, and Charlotte Levy.

Each of these adults
spent about an hour a week inter-

acting with one to three children
in a primary (first and second
grade) classroom. A GREAT
time was had by all reading
together, playing games, working
puzzles, doing arts and crafts, and
simply talking. The children ben-
efited with improved reading,
social skills, and self esteem. The
adults received a warm and heart-
felt weekly welcome.

This program has been
such an unqualified success that
it’s being expanded to include
more classrooms next year.
Volunteers from all over the com-
munity are encouraged to join the

fun. Can you spare an hour a
week? No teaching experience is
required, just the ability to consis-
tently be there for a few kids who
need a positive adult role model.
You don’t need to know what to
do in advance - either the teacher
or the kids will guide you.

Please contact Cindy
Derer at 266-0622 or any of the
other mentors mentioned for more
info. Be prepared for a surpris-
ingly enthusiastic testimonial
from these people! Join us!
