The Frisch Criminology club held its first meeting on Thursday, December 10. Co-founders Cailey Erber '22 and Avi Herman '22 described the club as being a place where students "...will dissect both real-life crimes and crimes from TV shows such as "Law and Order" and "How to Get Away With Murder" with an emphasis on legal analysis. Students will also hear from many speakers relating to the Criminal Justice System". The club was well attended by approximately 50 students on zoom and in person. By Jarett Lazarus and Josh Kaplan
Mr. Micah Kaufman, a graduate of Frisch, and brother of English Department Chair, Dr. Meryl Feldblum, came to speak to Frisch students as part of Frisch's annual Teshuva Program. Mr. Kaufman was in a near-fatal accident on December 19, 2019, and he spoke to the 9th, 10th, and 11th graders about his experience and rehabilitation. He thanked all those who said Tehillim for him and explained that he felt that prayer and chessed done by others saved his life. By Eitan WeinbergDue to the increased use of outdoor spaces, the administration and Rabbi Ciner have added additional security to ensure campus safety. Frisch positions security guards at active entrances to the building so, as more doorways are in use, guards have been placed at all entrances and exits not only the main door upstairs, and by the gym entrance. Additional security has also been added to check the student health forms during arrival and to manage the flow of cars, buses, and vans while students are in outdoor classes for this school year.
By Eitan WeinbergAs Coronavirus cases have risen in the greater community, Frisch and Rabbi Ciner announced last week that they will be enforcing stricter social distancing and safety precautions, which according to Rabbi Ciner, is being done in order to ensure every student is safe. Some of the new measures put into place to enforce proper social distancing include seating markers where every desk should be, stickers at lunch tables to ensure proper distance, and more properly spaced outdoor seating.
