Morasha Artist in Residence 2006
Morasha Jewish Day School has a history with San Diego based artist, Viviana Lombrozo. The multi media artist has been partnering with Morasha since 2004 when she agreed to transform input from students, teachers and parents into 10 stunning murals to represent the school’s guiding values.
This year Lombrozo, who’s art has been displayed in some of the nation’s finest museums, worked personally with the 6th grade graduating class to design, create, print and bind books. The original books will be a gift to the school and reprints will be made for the students to take home.
In year’s past, the school’s artist – in –residence program has included one-n-one instruction with Artists such as Laurel Robinson, an artist and professor from Georgia, and photographers Zion Ozeri from Israel, and Bill Aaron from Los Angeles. In each instance, the students had the opportunity to explore the chosen medium with the artists and to create meaningful art of their own.
Lombrozo will speak at Morasha’s 6th grade graduation on June 15.

Students at Morasha Jewish Day School in Rancho Santa Margarita got a special, pre-holiday treat last week. Master instrumentalist, songwriter and film composer David Zasloff was on hand to share with the youngsters, ranging in age from preschool to grade 6, the sounds of the shofar, the ram's horn blown on Rosh Hashanah in synagogues throughout the world. Zasloff began his program by sounding the traditional monotone blasts heard during prayer services. He also shared with the youngsters the melodic side on the shofar, once used as an instrument of ancient Jewish music, by playing several songs including "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
