The Jewish Education Project hosts Annual Spelldown

 The Jewish Education Project recently held our Annual Spelldown for the Jewish day schools in  New York City.  The 3 Bees (2 Regional Bees and 1 Citywide Bee) generated an exciting atmosphere with champions representing 16 schools.  The students competed and conducted themselves in ways that made the Jewish education community proud.

Congratulations to the six finalists:

• Yael Kolp, Prospect Park Yeshivah – First Place (Citywide Bee) and First Place (Regional I Bee)
• Nathaniel Korb, Yeshiva Har Torah – Second Place (Citywide Bee) and First Place (Regional II Bee)
• Orliana Morag, Kinneret Day School – Second Place (Regional I Bee)
• Tova Tanenbaum, Bais Yaakov Academy of Queens – Second Place (Regional II Bee)
• Chaya Mindy Ovits, Shulamith School for Girls of Brooklyn – Representative (Regional I Bee)
• Jonathan Lindenbaum, Ramaz Middle School – Representative (Regional II Bee)

These finalists will represent their schools in March at the general citywide spelling bee sponsored by the N.Y. Daily News.  The winners will advance to the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.
