Refine by Region Refine by Art Form Refine by School Level Songs For Our Times – An Intergenerational Intercultural Music Project Tell us the story of your project – What was the impetus? What was it about? Who was involved? How did you begin? Ruti Lachs, Artist I had run similar intergenerational projects in Kerry in the past, using music, songwriting, singing, and visual art to express ideas and feelings about our own stories. These projects always received great support from local partners and the press, and culminated in a public exhibition and/or a performance. The interaction between the generations was a most important part of this project. I moved from Kerry to Cork in 2016, and I was touring two one-woman shows. One of the characters in the shows is my Jewish grandma, and there was a lot of audience interest in this character. I started researching the Cork Jewish community as it was in the early 1900s, and writing a musical play on the subject. I’ve always played Jewish music, and I saw great interest in Cork in its Jewish historical past, which I wanted to know more about, and to share my knowledge of. This had not been evident in my 28 years in Kerry, as there was no Jewish community in Kerry previously. I had built up a relationship with the Arts Officer in Cork County Council, Sinead Donnelly who suggested running the project in two areas, Youghal and Bandon. We worked with Bandonbridge Primary School sixth class pupils and their teacher, Freda O’Neill and the Bandon Daycare Centre, with support from Bandon Library. The project took place over four Tuesdays in September and October 2019. Two workshops would take place in each centre (the schoolchildren had their workshops in Bandon Library), one visit by the children to the Daycare Centre, and a visit by the daycare participants to the school for the concert day. In the end, I visited Bandon a total of 7 times – two introductions, the four planned dates, and one evaluation day. Freda O’Neill, Teacher The children completed a number of workshops with Ruti, in the local library, in school and at the day-care centre. The goal was for both groups, the children and the day-care patients to compose and perform a song for each other and to enjoy a singsong and each other’s company at the final performance. How were the ideas developed and how did the young people, artist and teacher work together? Ruti Lachs, Artist I worked with the principal, the teacher, the daycare staff, and the 2 groups (older and younger). In the first workshop, I introduced each group to a little bit of Jewish Irish history and Jewish culture, I taught them a song in Yiddish, and we had a little jam with me on accordion and them playing percussion. I then asked them to think about how it might be to move to another country, and about any experiences they had themselves of living in other places, or moving from one place to another. I asked the groups to say out loud how they might feel if they moved to a different place. These words were written up on a flipchart. We used chime bars (each person gets a note to play, from a kind of xylophone) to work out a melody that might be nice for a song. Then we fitted some of the words that the group had come up with into the melody, and with a bit of adaptation from myself, we worked the words and melody into two songs. One verse only was developed that week. I also taught the children the song In My Town, a song I wrote and recorded on my CD for children, Stomping in the Woods. The following week, the children came to the Daycare Centre to meet the older people. We had a singsong, which I facilitated as I had brought song lyrics, my accordion, and some percussion, and the children had prepared questions to ask the older group about where they went to school, did they ever travel, etc. One lady had brought some instruments that she had bought in Ghana years before, and she passed them round to everyone. I had brought apples and honey with me as it was Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and this is a traditional food for this festival, so everyone had a slice of apple with some honey. It was a lovely intergenerational, intercultural sharing. Everyone really enjoyed it, and the older people commented on how polite the children were. The groups sang their song verse to each other, and they shook hands and looked forward to meeting again. The next week was a workshop where each group completed the song, with my help, and we added instrumentation to it. The children brought in violin, tin whistle, keyboard, and guitar, and I brought percussion instruments and chime bars. A lot of work at home followed, as I wrote out precise arrangements for the teacher to work with the children on, and recorded both songs, and sent them to the schools. The final week, I arrived early at the school, with the film maker Dervla Baker, and ran through the original song, and the Yiddish song, with the children, while Dervla set up the video camera. The older group arrived, and about 20 of the children’s parents, and two other classes from the school, and their teachers, so the hall was packed. The new songs were sung, as was a Yiddish song that I had taught the children, and a song about Bandon Town that the older group sang. Then there was dancing to live klezmer (Jewish wedding music) as my band, Pop-Up Klezmer, came from Cork to take part in the concert. It was great to see the children and adults of all ages singing along and dancing and clapping to the music. And to give the older and younger groups a chance to perform original songs. All agreed it was a great experience. After the audience left, the children chatted with the older people and shook hands again before everyone left. Freda O’Neill, Teacher The children chose to work on their lyrics first and then to add in the melody and instruments afterwards. They worked in small groups initially and then Ruti helped them to collaborate to create a whole class edition. We practised on a daily basis leading up to the final performance. Some of the children worked through a couple of lunchtimes to perfect their parts. What was your personal experience of the project in terms of successes and challenges? Ruti Lachs, Artist The challenges were mostly weather, as the children had a long walk to the daycare centre and library, although they weren’t deterred. For me the biggest challenge was setting up the project, as it was a complicated project, and it was quite tricky communicating with the funders, as one of the arts officers was off sick. So the admin side took a lot of time and energy. Although it was lovely working with both groups, there were challenges with the older group, as one or two of the participants were partially deaf, or just didn’t have the energy to participate very much. But most of them were delighted to take part. The feedback from the Daycare Centre group was that they enjoyed the interactions with the children, but that they could have done with more workshops to prepare them for the concert, and that it took them a while to be clear what the project was about. They enjoyed playing different instruments, hearing great musicians, and the chats with myself and each other. The staff said it was challenging to get the participants confidence up for singing in public. The feedback from the school children was that they enjoyed learning the dances, playing the instruments, meeting the daycare group, learning about Jewish culture and religion, hearing the klezmer band, learning new songs, and the final performance. They would have liked longer with the older group, and more time to learn the song lyrics and instrumental parts. They would have liked more musical styles and more younger children attending the concert. The feedback from the teacher, Freda, was that the children loved it, the venues worked well, the final performance was fantastic, positive, and seeing the interactions between the groups was lovely. My personal experience of the project was very positive. Everyone involved saw the benefits of so many aspects of the project – making music, creating new music, discussing ideas, and the interaction between the generations. Both groups and all staff agreed that they would like to do a project like this again. Freda O’Neill, Teacher The project was a great success. The children really enjoyed the music side of the project but mostly responded very positively to the intergenerational element. It was wonderful to see how both groups interacted so pleasantly with each other. A challenge may have been the time allowed for this project. Another couple of meetings and practices with Ruti would have been worthwhile. What was significant for you about the project that is worth sharing? Ruti Lachs, Artist Intergenerational interaction, composition in groups, arranging music, and performance – these are all aspects of this project that I would like to highlight as significant. Composing in groups means working together to create something interesting, meaningful, and hopefully, beautiful. This is a good team-building exercise, and just a lot of fun. Also great for confidence and interaction. Performing one’s own composition in public, and getting recognition for its value, is one of the most uplifting things I enjoy as a performer, and I think that this was so for the participants also. The Jewish aspect was also meaningful to me – to teach children a song in Yiddish – a language they have never heard before – and to lead them in dancing to klezmer music, was a privilege. Freda O’Neill, Teacher Sixth class were enthusiastic and happy while participating in this project which made it quite easy to manage for me as their teacher. As mentioned above, the most significant part was how well both groups responded to one another. Has anything changed in your work as a result of the project? Ruti Lachs, Artist I have more confidence in bringing Jewish material to schools (although I have been doing this in different ways, eg candlemaking workshops at Chanuka, for many years anyway). I bring my interests into the classroom, and I do quite complex projects, even though it is a lot of work and tires me. I put a lot of energy in, and often don’t feel that I am earning enough to warrant the amount I put in. But that is my journey. I have been very lucky to be supported along the way by a lot of lovely people. It’s worth it! Freda O’Neill, Teacher I would definitely be open to taking part in a project like this again. Also, the inclusion of the older generation in some school activities would be something I would consider more now.

Caolaigh de réir réigiúin Caolaigh le Foirm Ealaíne Caolaigh le leibhéal na Scoile Amhráin Dár Linne - Tionscadal Ceoil Idirghlúine Idirchultúrtha Inis scéal do thionscadail dúinn – Céard a spreag é? Cad faoi é? Cé a bhí páirteach ann? Cén chaoi ar thosaigh tú? Ruti Lachs, Ealaíontóir Bhí tionscadail idirghlúine den chineál céanna á reáchtáil agam i gCiarraí san am a chuaigh thart, ag baint úsáid as ceol, scríbhneoireacht amhrán, amhránaíocht agus amharc-ealaín chun smaointe agus mothúcháin a chur in iúl faoinár scéalta féin. Fuair na tionscadail seo tacaíocht iontach i gcónaí ó chomhpháirtithe áitiúla agus ón bpreas, agus chríochnaigh siad le taispeántas poiblí agus / nó taibhiú. Ba é an t-idirghníomhú idir na glúnta an chuid ba thábhachtaí den tionscadal seo. Bhog mé ó Chiarraí go Corcaigh in 2016, agus thug mé dhá sheó aon-bhean ar camchuairt. Duine de na carachtair sna seónna ná mo sheanmháthair Giúdach, agus bhí a lán spéise ag an lucht féachana sa charachtar seo. Thosaigh mé ag déanamh taighde ar phobal Giúdach Chorcaí mar a bhí sé go luath sna 1900idí, agus ag scríobh dráma ceoil ar an ábhar. Bhí ceol Giúdach agam i gcónaí, agus chonaic mé suim mhór i gCorcaigh ina stair Ghiúdach, rud a raibh mé ag iarraidh níos mó eolais a fháil air, agus mo chuid eolais air a roinnt. Ní raibh sé seo le feiceáil le linn an 28 bliain a chaith mé i gCiarraí, mar ní raibh aon phobal Giúdach i gCiarraí roimhe seo. Bhí caidreamh tógtha agam leis an Oifigeach Ealaíon i gComhairle Contae Chorcaí, Sinéad Donnelly, a mhol an tionscadal a reáchtáil in dhá cheantar, Eochaill agus Droichead na Bandan. D’oibríomar le daltaí rang a sé i mBunscoil Dhroichead na Bandan agus lena múinteoir, Freda O’Neill agus Bandon Daycare Centre, le tacaíocht ó Leabharlann Dhroichead na Bandan. Bhí an tionscadal ar siúl thar cheithre Mháirt i mí Mheán Fómhair agus i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2019. Bheadh dhá cheardlann ar siúl i ngach ionad (bhí a gceardlanna i Leabharlann Dhroichead na Bandan ag na páistí scoile), cuairt amháin ó na leanaí ar an Daycare Centre, agus cuairt na rannpháirtithe cúraim lae ar an scoil don lá ceolchoirme. Sa deireadh, thug mé cuairt ar Bandon 7 n-uaire san iomlán - dhá sheisiún ‘cur in aithne’, na ceithre dháta a bhí beartaithe, agus lá meastóireachta amháin. Freda O'Neill, Múinteoir Chríochnaigh na leanaí roinnt ceardlann le Ruti, sa leabharlann áitiúil, ar scoil agus san ionad cúraim lae. Ba é an sprioc a bhí ann don dá ghrúpa, do na leanaí agus do na hothair cúraim lae amhrán a chumadh agus a dhéanamh dá chéile agus taitneamh a bhaint as seisiún amhránaíochta agus cuideachta a chéile ag an léiriú deiridh. Cén chaoi ar forbraíodh na smaointe agus cén chaoi ar oibrigh na daoine óga, an t-ealaíontóir agus an múinteoir le chéile? Ruti Lachs, Ealaíontóir D’oibrigh mé leis an bpríomhoide, leis an múinteoir, leis an bhfoireann cúraim lae, agus leis an 2 ghrúpa (níos sine agus níos óige). Sa chéad cheardlann, chuir mé beagán de stair agus de chultúr Giúdach na hÉireann faoi bhráid gach grúpa, mhúin mé amhrán dóibh sa Ghiúdais, agus bhí seisiún jeamála beag againn, mise ar an mbosca ceoil agus iadsan ag seinm cnaguirlisí. D’iarr mé orthu ansin smaoineamh ar conas a bheadh sé, dá mbeadh ort bogadh go tír eile, agus faoi aon taithí a bhí acu féin ar chónaí a dhéanamh in áiteanna eile, nó bheith ag bogadh ó áit amháin go háit eile. D’iarr mé ar na grúpaí a rá amach os ard conas a bheidís ag mothú dá mbeadh orthu bogadh go dtí áit eile. Scríobhadh na focail seo suas ar smeach-chairt. D’úsáideamar barraí clingíní (faigheann gach duine nóta le bualadh, ó chineál de xileafón) chun fonn a oibriú amach a d’fhéadfadh a bheith deas d’amhrán. Ansin chuir muid cuid de na focail ar tháinig an grúpa aníos leo in oiriúint don fhonn, agus, le beagán oiriúnúcháin uaim féin, d’oibrigh muid na focail agus an fonn ina dhá n-amhrán. Níor forbraíodh ach véarsa amháin an tseachtain sin. Mhúin mé an t-amhrán In My Town do na leanaí freisin, amhrán a scríobh mé agus a thaifead mé ar mo dhlúthdhiosca do leanaí, Stomping in the Woods. An tseachtain dár gcionn, tháinig na leanaí go dtí an tIonad Cúraim Lae chun bualadh leis na seandaoine. Bhí seisiún amhránaíochta againn, arna éascú agam féin nó thug mé liricí amhrán, mo bhosca ceoil, agus roinnt cnaguirlisí liom, agus d’ullmhaigh na leanaí ceisteanna le cur ar an ngrúpa níos sine faoin áit a ndeachaigh siad ar scoil, an raibh siad riamh ag taisteal, etc. Thug bean amháin roinnt uirlisí léi a cheannaigh sí i nGána blianta roimhe sin, agus chuir sí iad thart ar gach duine. Thug mé úlla agus mil liom mar bhí Rosh Hashana ann, Bliain Nua na nGiúdach, agus is bia traidisiúnta é seo don fhéile seo, mar sin, bhí slis úill ag gach duine agus roinnt meala air. Comhroinnt álainn idirghlúine idirchultúrtha a bhí ann. Bhain gach duine an-taitneamh as, agus rinne na seandaoine trácht ar cé chomh dea-bhéasach is a bhí na leanaí. Chan na grúpaí a véarsa amhráin dá chéile, agus chroith siad lámha agus bhí siad ag tnúth le bualadh le chéile arís. Ceardlann a bhí ann an tseachtain ina dhiaidh sin inar chríochnaigh gach grúpa an t-amhrán, le cabhair uaimse, agus chuireamar ceol uirlise leis. Thug na leanaí veidhlín, feadóg stáin, méarchlár agus giotár isteach, agus thug mise cnaguirlisí agus barraí clingíní. Lean go leor oibre sa bhaile, nó scríobh mé amach socruithe beachta don mhúinteoir a bhféadfadh sí a bheith ag obair leis na leanaí orthu, agus rinne mé an dá amhrán a thaifeadadh, agus iad a sheoladh chuig na scoileanna. An tseachtain deiridh, chuaigh mé chuig an scoil go luath, leis an déantóir scannán, Dervla Baker, agus rith mé tríd an amhrán bunaidh, agus an t-amhrán Giúdaise, leis na leanaí, agus shocraigh Dervla an físcheamara. Tháinig an grúpa níos sine, agus thart ar 20 de thuismitheoirí na leanaí, agus dhá rang eile ón scoil, agus a múinteoirí, mar sin bhí an halla pacáilte. Canadh na hamhráin nua, mar aon le hamhrán Giúdaise a mhúin mé do na leanaí, agus amhrán faoi Bhaile na Bandan a chan an grúpa níos sine. Ansin, bhí damhsa le klezmer beo (ceol bainise Giúdach) nó tháinig mo bhanna ceoil, Pop-Up Klezmer, ó Chorcaigh chun páirt a ghlacadh sa cheolchoirm. Bhí sé go hiontach leanaí agus daoine fásta de gach aois a fheiceáil ag canadh agus ag damhsa agus ag bualadh bos leis an gceol. Gan trácht ar dheis a thabhairt do na grúpaí níos sine agus níos óige amhráin bhunaidh a thaibhiú. D’aontaigh gach duine gur eispéireas iontach a bhí ann. Tar éis don lucht féachana imeacht, bhí comhrá ag na leanaí leis na seandaoine agus chroith siad lámha arís sular fhág gach duine. Freda O'Neill, Múinteoir Roghnaigh na leanaí a bheith ag obair ar a gcuid liricí ar dtús agus ansin an fonn agus na huirlisí a chur isteach ina dhiaidh sin. D’oibrigh siad i ngrúpaí beaga ar dtús agus ansin chabhraigh Ruti leo comhoibriú chun eagrán ranga iomlán a chruthú. Rinneamar cleachtadh ar bhonn laethúil roimh an léiriú deiridh. D’oibrigh cuid de na leanaí trí chúpla am lóin chun barr feabhais a chur ar a gcodanna féin. Cén taithí phearsanta a bhí agat ar an tionscadal i dtéarmaí ratha agus dúshlán? Ruti Lachs, Ealaíontóir Bhain an chuid is mó de na dúshláin leis an aimsir, mar go raibh siúlóid fhada ag na leanaí go dtí an t-ionad cúraim lae agus an leabharlann, cé nár cuireadh stop leo. Maidir liom féin, ba é an dúshlán ba mhó a bhí ann ná an tionscadal a chur ar bun, mar gur tionscadal casta a bhí ann, agus bhí sé deacair go leor cumarsáid a dhéanamh leis na maoinitheoirí, mar go raibh duine de na hoifigigh ealaíon tinn. Mar sin, ghlac an taobh riaracháin a lán ama agus fuinnimh. Cé go raibh sé go hálainn a bheith ag obair leis an dá ghrúpa, bhí dúshláin leis an ngrúpa níos sine, mar go raibh duine nó beirt de na rannpháirtithe breacbhodhar, sin nó ní raibh an fuinneamh acu a bheith iomlán rannpháirteach. Ach bhí an-áthas ar an gcuid is mó acu páirt a ghlacadh. Ba é an t-aiseolas ó ghrúpa an Ionaid Cúraim Lae gur bhain siad taitneamh as na hidirghníomhaíochtaí leis na leanaí, ach go bhféadfaidís níos mó ceardlann a dhéanamh chun iad a ullmhú don cheolchoirm, agus gur thóg sé tamall orthu a bheith soiléir cad a bhí i gceist leis an tionscadal. Bhain siad taitneamh as uirlisí éagsúla a sheinm, ceoltóirí iontacha a chloisteáil, agus na comhráite liom féin agus lena chéile. Dúirt an fhoireann go raibh sé dúshlánach muinín a chothú sna rannpháirtithe i dtaca le bheith ag canadh go poiblí. Ba é an t-aiseolas ó leanaí na scoile ná gur bhain siad taitneamh as na damhsaí a fhoghlaim, na huirlisí a sheinm, bualadh leis an ngrúpa cúraim lae, foghlaim faoi chultúr agus reiligiún na nGiúdach, éisteacht leis an mbanna klezmer, amhráin nua a fhoghlaim, agus an taibhiú deiridh. B’fhearr leo níos mó ama leis an ngrúpa níos sine, agus níos mó ama chun na liricí amhráin agus páirteanna uirlise a fhoghlaim. B’fhearr leo níos mó stíleanna ceoil agus níos mó leanaí níos óige a bheith ag freastal ar an gceolchoirm. Ba é an t-aiseolas ón múinteoir, Freda, ná gur mhór leis na leanaí é, d’oibrigh na hionaid go maith, bhí an taibhiú deiridh iontach, dearfach, agus go raibh sé go hálainn na hidirghníomhaíochtaí idir na grúpaí a fheiceáil. Bhí mo thaithí phearsanta ar an tionscadal an-dearfach. Chonaic gach duine a bhí páirteach na buntáistí a bhaineann leis an oiread sin gnéithe den tionscadal - ceol a dhéanamh, ceol nua a chruthú, smaointe a phlé, agus an idirghníomhaíocht idir na glúnta. D’aontaigh an dá ghrúpa agus an fhoireann go léir gur mhaith leo tionscadal mar seo a dhéanamh arís. Freda O'Neill, Múinteoir D’éirigh go hiontach leis an tionscadal. Bhain na leanaí an-taitneamh as an taobh ceoil den tionscadal ach d’fhreagair siad go dearfach don ghné idirghlúine den chuid is mó. Bhí sé iontach a fheiceáil conas a d’idirghníomhaigh an dá ghrúpa chomh lách lena chéile. B’fhéidir gur dúshlán é an méid ama a cuireadh ar leataobh don tionscadal seo. B’fhiú cúpla cruinniú agus seisiún cleachtaidh eile le Ruti. Cén tábhacht a bhain leis an tionscadal duit ar fiú a roinnt? Ruti Lachs, Ealaíontóir Idirghníomhaíocht idirghlúine, cumadóireacht i ngrúpaí, ceol a eagrú, agus taibhiú - is gnéithe iad seo den tionscadal seo ar mhaith liom aird shuntasach a tharraingt orthu. Ciallaíonn cumadóireacht i ngrúpaí a bheith ag oibriú le chéile chun rud éigin suimiúil, bríoch agus, tá súil againn, álainn a chruthú. Is cleachtas maith tógála foirne é seo, agus níl ann ach go leor spraoi. Chomh maith leis sin, is rud iontach é ó thaobh muiníne agus idirghníomhaíochta de. Tá deis a fháil do shaothar féin a thaibhiú go poiblí, agus aitheantas a fháil as a luach, ar cheann de na rudaí is mó a thaitníonn liom mar thaibheoir, agus sílim go raibh sé seo amhlaidh do na rannpháirtithe freisin. Bhí brí ag baint leis an ngné Ghiúdach domsa freisin - chun amhrán Giúdaise a mhúineadh do leanaí - teanga nár chuala siad riamh roimhe seo - agus chun iad a chur ag damhsa le ceol klezmer, ba phribhléid é. Freda O'Neill, Múinteoir Bhí rang a sé díograiseach agus sásta agus iad ag glacadh páirt sa tionscadal seo, rud a d’fhág go raibh sé éasca go leor a bhainistiú domsa mar mhúinteoir. Mar a luadh thuas, ba é an chuid ba shuntasaí ná cé chomh maith agus a d’fhreagair an dá ghrúpa dá chéile. Ar athraigh aon rud i do chuid oibre mar gheall ar an tionscadal? Ruti Lachs, Ealaíontóir Tá níos mó muiníne agam ábhar Giúdach a thabhairt chuig scoileanna (cé go raibh mé á dhéanamh seo ar bhealaí éagsúla, m.sh. ceardlanna déanta coinnle ag Chanuka, le blianta fada ar aon nós). Tugaim mo chuid spéiseanna isteach sa seomra ranga, agus déanaim tionscadail chasta go leor, cé go mbíonn go leor oibre ann agus go dtuirsíonn sé mé. Cuirim a lán fuinnimh isteach, agus is minic nach mbraithim go bhfuil mé ag tuilleamh go leor chun an méid a chuir mé isteach a chosaint. Ach is é sin mo thuras. Bhí an t-ádh orm go bhfuair mé tacaíocht ar an mbealach óna lán daoine áille. Is fiú é! Freda O'Neill, Múinteoir Is cinnte go mbeinn sásta páirt a ghlacadh i dtionscadal mar seo arís. Chomh maith leis sin, smaoineoinn níos mó anois ar an nglúin níos sine a chuimsiú i roinnt gníomhaíochtaí scoile. Spotsolas Ealaíontóir(í): An tEalaíontóir Ruti Lachs Is taibheoir nuálach, gairmiúil mé agus go leor taithí agam, agus is oideachasóir ceoil agus éascaitheoir ealaíon mé. D’fhoilsigh mé dhá dlúthdhiosca d’amhráin nuachumtha, ceann do leanaí (Stomping in the Woods) agus ceann do dhaoine fásta (Sleeping People). Tá sé mar aidhm ag mo ghnó ceoil pobail, Active Music, a chur ar chumas gach duine taitneamh a bhaint as ceol beo ag cibé leibhéal is féidir leis nó léi. Chuige sin, reáchtáil mé ceardlanna ceoil in go leor suíomhanna lena n-áirítear ospidéil, grúpaí páistí agus tuismitheoirí, scoileanna, ionaid óige, grúpaí tacaíochta míchumais, scoileanna ceoil, tithe altranais, féilte agus bainiseacha. Múinimse pianó do leanaí i gColáiste Ceoil Chathair Chorcaí freisin. Seinnim ceol klezmer agus snagcheol, ag seisiúin sheachtainiúla le Pop-Up Klezmer agus i dísréid agus tríréid éagsúla i rith na bliana. Is taibheoir aonair mé atá tar éis dhá sheó aon-bhean a dhéanamh le blianta beaga anuas, Sideways on Planet Piano agus A Different Kettle. Tá mo dhráma ceoil, Green Feather Boa, atá suite i bpobal Giúdach Chorcaí go luath sna 1900idí, á fhorbairt faoi láthair le haghaidh taibhithe in 2022/23. Bronnadh Gradam Sheachtain Náisiúnta Oidhreachta ar an Cork Jewish Culture Virtual Walk agam, agus is féidir breathnú air ar rutilachs.ie. Múinteoir(í): Freda O’Neill, múinteoir Is múinteoir bunscoile mé, atá ag múineadh rang a sé faoi láthair i S.N. Dhroiochead na Bandan, Co. Chorcaí. Tá mé ag múineadh réimse de ranganna i S.N. Dhroichead na Bandan ó bhí 2010 ann. Chomh maith le bheith i mo mhúinteoir, is máthair mé le beirt bhuachaillí óga, gníomhacha. Is breá liom a bheith ag dul amach ag siúl faoi áilleacht Iarthar Chorcaí, leabhar maith a léamh agus am a chaitheamh leis an teaghlach.
