Generations Day, an annual tradition at The Rashi School, celebrates the powerful bond between the different generations. This year's co-chairs were Philip and Mali Wiener, Rachel and Peter Dixon of Chestnut Hill and Kate and Jonathan Dixon.

Middle School ambassadors kicked off the event by greeting guests upon arrival. Head of school Adam W. Fischer delivered a warm welcome at the festive luncheon, followed by Jon Dixon, Philip Wiener and Peter Dixon. They spoke about the importance of academic excellence, social justice and core values. After lunch, guests joined students in their classrooms to experience the learning process in action.

As on every Friday afternoon, students and their visitors enjoyed a slice of challah and attended Kabbalat Shabbat services, with a special dance performance by the school’s Israeli dance troop, Kesem Katan.
