On their last trip of the 2013-2014 school year, students part of The Traveling Troupe, sponsored by Victoria and Jack Aini, traveled to Seacrest Nursing Home, one of their favorite nursing homes. They celebrated the joy of music, dance, and drama performance with a wonderful audience of warm and eager elders and nursing home patients. The stirring performances on the trip were jovially moving for both the audience members and members of the the troupe. Congratulations to actors Michelle Harari, Merle Dweck and Danielle Ashkenazi; pianists Elaine Aini, Rachel Isayev and Leah Linfield; drummers Ikey Benzaken, Mosie Salame; violinist Evelyn Tawil; singers Michael Chakkalo, Aida Franco (who also tap danced) and Michael Zalta on sharing their talents in the an amazing act of
