News from Globaldreamers

http://www.globaldreamers.org/Jholidays/12torches.html

Dear friends,
Independence day was a special day for me. The custom is 12 people are chosen to light 12 enternal torches in Jerusalem and say a blessing for the coming year. It is considered the highest honor. A local paper in my city Petach Tikva chose me as being worthy of lighting a torch in Israel. If you look under the torches you will find your Globaldreamers friend. I also would love any comments on the wallwisher from any of you.
We are still accepting spring pictures on share and if anyone has anymore it is really looking nice. You can see it here.

We have also begun our yearly Holocaust unit here and you can add whenever you find something appropriate. We feel this is so educational in so many ways, please join us.

I also wish to personally thank all of the Globaldreamers from around the world who are working with my special friend and colleague Rozalija and you can find all of the beautiful pictures from the beautiful project "In the world of Fairy Tales of Ivan Brlic Mazuranic- 2010" The kids and I are also participating and have sent in many stories, pics, etc.

My special thanks to all the wonderful educators and friends we have around the world, I am grateful to all of you, hoping to hear from you all soon.
Sincerely,
Marsha Goren

Dear Friends,
This is the time of year when we come back to school after vacation and of course I know how busy everyone is and we are grateful for your friendship and global collaboration with us.
I also want to thank all the educators who are taking part in the project with Rozalija from IGK Slavonski Brod who is a special friend and colleague. For those who wish to contact Rozalija directly her email is

We are now working on our spring project and it is lovely, please send pics to us about spring or writings, drawings etc.
Our most important project the Holocaust 2010 will begin officially on April 12th but there is no deadline here and educators may send materials as they teach in their schools. This project is dedicated to my Mom who believed in teaching kids to be good people, please join us.

Our Holocaust project has no ending date and every year we put up a new learning unit. This is a very meaningful project and one that can help children become better people. My Mom would have been proud of all of you.
Please let us hear from you,
Sincerely,
