Beth Hatefutsoth Award

ORT Argentina Technical School, Belgrano campus, has been awarded at the International Competition “Shorashim - My Family Story” organized by the Beth Hatefutsoth (The Diaspora Museum). After an exhaustive revision by the jury, composed of members of the Israeli Ministry of Education, authorities in History of the Diaspora Museum, specialists in Education from the Tel Aviv University, and professionals with long-standing experience in related methodologies, it has been decided that a special distinction will be granted to our school for the excellence of the works submitted.

In the last 10 years, Beth Hatefutsoth got thousands of students to explore their Jewish heritage through the search of their own family story. Thanks to this international competition, high-school students from different schools throughout the world have researched their stories, thus discovering their parents’ and grandparents’ stories and also the strong connection they have with the Jewish People.

We would like to congratulate our 6th-year students Ilán Rubín and Diana Gettner from the Design track, 5th-year Michelle Oppel from the Mass Media track and 6th year student Ezequiel Lindenberg from the ICT track for their outstanding performance.

The Awards Ceremony of the International Competition Manuel Hirsch Grosskopf “My Family Story”, will take place on Wednesday 9th, June 2010, at the Ceremony Hall of the Tel Aviv Diaspora Museum, Beth Hatefutsoth.
