Shabbat Shalom
From Rav Tomer Ronen
|
We had an action packed two days of school during Chol Hamoed Sukkot this week. From spiritual tefillot, music, and dancing to fun trips to engaging educational programming, Sukkot at BPY this week was full of meaningful and memorable experiences for our children. During a holiday when we get to appreciate more fully the importance and value of having a permanent and sturdy home throughout the year, our Sukkot celebration at school was made even more special this year as it is our first Sukkot as owners of our school's permanent home on Frisch Court - a milestone we will get to celebrate together as a community at our Chanukat Habayit on October 18 at 1:30 PM (see below for more information).
I want to express my deepest gratitude to our amazing staff for making this week so special for all of our students. The fruits of their creativity and dedication will no doubt last for many years in the hearts and minds of our children.
Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach,
Rav Tomer Ronen

Each day this week began with a beautiful communal Hallel.

Even though this year's Hakafot had to be moved inside because of rain, our spirits weren't dampened at all as we celebrated and danced together!
|
|
On Wednesday afternoon, all of our students were treated to an incredible Pay Dalid concert, full of
ruach, excitement, and even more dancing!
|
|
Early childhood students had a fabulous Thursday morning with Pat's Pals animal show! They saw a snake, a wallaby, a parrot, a chinchilla, a skink, a hedgehog and more.
|
Based on the book If You Hopped Like a Frog by David Schwartz, Thursday's Discovery Learning Day program was all about estimating, measuring, and comparing. Elementary school students learned about the incredible abilities of different animals and tested their own physical limits in the same areas. They even studied measurement in Tanach, the measurements of a kosher sukkah, and conducted their own animal races. At the end of the day, students Skyped live with the author, David Schwartz. A huge thank you to Morah Jean and Morah Stephanie for orchestrating this incredible STEM program!
