Ezra Academy Hosts Nissim Black

As Chanuka came to an end and most schools were switching back to regular schedules, Ezra Academy continued their extra programs. On Friday Dec 22, the students of Ezra were enraptured by the story of Nissim Black. The story of how he overcame obstacles and challenges throughout his life was fascinating. It was the journey he took to becoming a religious Jew that struck an especially relevant chord with the students. Many of them joined Ezra with little or no Jewish background and constantly find themselves striving to take the next step. Seeing someone like Nissim and hearing his story reassures the students that they too can make the transition that they are striving for.
