Sorrow looks back,
Worry looks around,
But faith looks up!
Live simply,
love generously,
care deeply,
speak kindly, and
trust in our Creator,
who loves us.
Of David - A psalm.
Psalms 139: 1 - 10
1. O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2. You know when I sit and
when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3. You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways. 4. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O
LORD. 5. You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6. Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7. Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence? 8. If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my
bed in the depths, you are there. 9. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side
of the sea, 10. Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Generosity week ran from February 24th to March 2nd 2014 at USF as a way for students to give thanks for the generosity of all the donors that contribute to the University of San Francisco.

Gray is the most unique color since it is the only color that has no complementary color. nevertheless it is also the most modest and generous color since it serves as a perfect background to other colors.

(Tefillin) On Generous Loan from The Lubavitch Center of Essex County
There is a Jewish commandment to wear tefillin, which are two boxes within which contain Biblical verses and with leather straps attached to them, during morning prayer except on the Sabbath. These straps are wrapped around the arm close to the heart and head in a specific order and in very specific ways. In this manner, when a person prays his attention is directed to the head, heart, and arm. By wearing the tefillin, it teaches those to dedicate themselves to the service of God in all that they think, feel, and do. After one puts on each box on the head and arm, a blessing is recited. Wearing tefillin is a rite of passage for a boy at his Bar Mitzvah when he is ready to take on this commandment. Typically for Orthodox Jews, only men would wear them but Conservative and Reform women put them on as well.
(Prayer Shawl) On Generous Loan from The Lubavitch Center of Essex County
There is a commandment in the Torah to wear a four-cornered garment called a tallit with fringes called tzitzit attached to each corner. Traditionally the tallit is used as a prayer shawl during the morning prayers. In Orthodox synagogues only men wear them but in many Conservative and Reform synagogues adult men and women wear them. The religious significance of wearing this is to remind people to follow the commandments of the Torah. On the top part of this tallit where it would be worn around the neck is written the Hebrew blessing that is said when putting it on, “Blessed are you, our God, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us to wrap ourselves in tzitizit.”
The Warp and Weft of Memory
Exhibition Opening at Castrum Peregrini
August 24th, 2018
'There are stains. What are we to do with them? Her sweat has turned brown with time and its acid has etched itself into her white cotton shirts and the lining of dresses. Skin oil has darkened the fingers of leather gloves, and her idiosyncratic walk has shaped the heels of her shoes. Her clothes have been recording devices.'
Excerpt from The Warp and Weft of Memory: www.warpweftmemory.net
In her latest multi-faceted work, Renée Turner explores the contents of Gisèle d'Ailly van Waterschoot van der Gracht’s closet. Although Gisèle passed away in 2013 at the age of one hundred, the traces of her figure can still be sensed through the shape and wear of her clothes. Spanning decades, the range of garments illustrates her fascination with travel, textiles, and design. There are Greek woollen vests, a Chinese silk jacket and several dresses fashioned by the renowned Dutch designer Dick Holthaus. All were meticulously itemized in Gisèle’s own wardrobe inventories. As Turner notes, “Gisèle was a taxonomist of her own life.”
Her clothes and taxonomical fervour are mirrored in her photographic archive as well, which Turner has selectively digitized to create a semantically-driven, online narrative. Combining writing, photographs of her clothes, videos, and illustrations, she personally reflects on her direct encounter with Gisèle’s belongings, the intimacy of the closet and how its content reflects her remarkable life, the history of the Netherlands before, during, and after the War, women and their clothing, the privileges of class, and the persona of the female artist. While each garment has its own story, it can be woven into a larger tapestry of other narratives past and present. In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard writes: “Every poet of furniture—even if he be a poet in a garret, and therefore has no furniture—knows that the inner space of an old wardrobe is deep.” Turner’s online project and exhibition at Castrum Peregrini traces the depths of those echoes and reverberations and contemplates what will be remembered and what will be reduced to dust.
The Warp and Weft of Memory has contributions by: Frans-Willem Korsten, Kate Pullinger, Andre Castro, Manufactura Independente, Cristina Cochior and Cesare Davolio. The related public program will be posted on the Castrum Peregrini website and facebook page.
Renée Turner is an artist, writer and Research Lecturer at the Willem de Kooning Academy and Piet Zwart Institute. Since 2016, she has been an artist in residence at Stichting Castrum Peregrini. Her research over the past two years has resulted in public lectures, the exhibition and online narrative.
This project was generously supported by the Mondriaan Foundation through the awarding of a two-year grant, Stipendium for Established Artists with Commissioner (WerkbijdrageBewezen Talent + Opdrachtgever). The initial research phase was funded through a Start-Up Grant from the Creative Industry Funds (Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie).

At the Elizabeth Board of Education meeting of May 10 at Juan Pablo Duarte - José Julián Martí School No. 28, Taneka Bowles presented Elizabeth Public Schools with a very generous donation of $25,000 on behalf of Taneka and Todd Bowles for Elizabeth’s Special Olympics program. This marks the fourth straight year the Bowles family has supported the district’s Special Olympics program, raising the total to $100,000 in donations.
The evening also took on a multicultural theme as the Board recognized the Cuban, Haitian, and Portuguese heritages.
In honor of Cuban heritage, Juan Pablo Duarte - José Julián Martí School No. 28 Kindergarten students performed “Mambo numero 8” by Damaso Perez and “Mi Tierra” by Gloria Estefan and community members Julio Sabater, Miguel Socarras, and Marita De Varona were recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community.
In honor of Haitian heritage, John E. Dwyer Technology Academy student Kerline Francois performed a lyrical solo to "Human" Written by Christine Perry and the Dwyer Technology Academy Haitian Club was recognized for its commitment to promoting the beauty of the Haitian culture through educational and social opportunities available within the school environment.
In honor of Portuguese heritage, Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy students Karina Almeida and Tiago Matos performed “Vira do Minho”, Danca E Cantares De Portugal from the Portuguese Instructive Social Club performed a Portuguese folklore dance, Portuguese world language teachers were recognized for their outstanding efforts to instill the passion of the Portuguese culture into our students, and the Elizabeth Portugal Day Pageant 2018-2019 Royal Family was recognized for their contributions to the Elizabeth community.
Juan Pablo Duarte - José Julián Martí School No. 28 Principal Evelyn Rodriguez-Salcedo presented to the Board the approach she has taken to be able to address various issues that resulted in School No. 28 being designated a Focus School by the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE). In April 2012, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s administration announced the final list of Priority, Focus, and Reward Schools as part of its new statewide accountability system, which included 183 Focus Schools. A Focus School is a school that has room for improvement in areas that are specific to the school. As part of the process, Focus Schools receive targeted and tailored solutions to meet the school’s unique needs. The types of Focus schools include those with low graduation rates, largest within-school gaps, and lowest subgroup performance.
As a result of this approach by Rodriguez-Salcedo and the team members of School No. 28, the NJDOE has announced that School No. 28 will be exiting Focus School status in June 2018.
During the meeting, the Board celebrated and recognized excellent achievements of members of the Elizabeth Public Schools Professional Learning Community and the greater Elizabeth community.

Following the generous donation to ANERA by the International Book Bank, ANERA distributed the books on the newly rehabilitated kindergarten in Ein El Helwe Camp, South Lebanon.

Colors, images, designs and huge titles were astonishing to children, who sat in circle around their instructor, flipping through the books. "Look, this boy is fat like you." Says Mariam to her classmate, while looking at the book and laughing with her colleague.
