by COLlive Reporter · COLliveChaya Mushka Chabad Academy (CMCM) of Atlanta, Georgia, with its brand-new High School, came together to celebrate a truly unforgettable evening – the musical production, “La Senora.”
The sold-out show was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our students, who brought the inspiring story of Dona Gracia Nasi to life on stage.
The production told the true story of Dona Gracia, a Sephardic Jewish woman who defied the odds to become a leader and philanthropist in her community. Our talented high schoolers took the reins on this ambitious project, showcasing their creativity and skills in every aspect of the production. From designing and crafting props to creating intricate costumes, choreographing dances, and directing a choir, the girls demonstrated exceptional teamwork and passion.
The audience was mesmerized by the energetic performances, powerful vocals, and the palpable sense of camaraderie among the cast. Mrs. Yehudeet Shabat, who traveled from Houston, Texas, to support her daughter, Dina, a ninth grader in the High School, remarked, “The performance of La Señora left me feeling grateful that Hashem has granted us the ability to live openly and freely as Yidden. And given this freedom, how much more so, should we grab every opportunity to express our Yiddishkeit? At the end of the night, we were reminded that this Galus will end, and we were given a small glimpse of the beauty and simcha we will experience as we greet Moshiach! The CMCA girls, shluchos, and staff did a phenomenal job bringing this message to life. How fitting to experience this in the days just before Pesach.”
The day following the production was a Yom Iyun in the High School, focused on and featuring all aspects of Pesach. We had several shiurim and a Pesach-centered craft. This was a practical culmination and consolidation of some of the production’s many messages.
The production was a resounding success, thanks to the guidance of our dedicated shluchos, Devorah Leah Wineberg and Laya Berendt, and the students’ tireless efforts.
The Girls High School is now accepting submissions of interest for grades 9, 10, and 11th grade for the upcoming academic year.
Join our community of empowered young women and be part of an exceptional educational experience that fosters growth, learning, friendship, chassidishkeit and leadership. For more information, please contact sfeinblum@chayamushka.org or visit our website at cmghs.org
