Our Early Childhood students (EC 15- EC 4) enjoyed showcasing the songs and dances they learned in celebration of the upcoming holiday of Pesach (Passover)! We hope you enjoy this short snippet from their performance.

Ultimate Parsha

In this week's parsha, Tzav, we learn about different offerings, including the offering of thanksgiving, which is composed of 40 loaves. Our sages inform us that once the Mashiach comes these are in fact the only offerings that will remain! From this we understand how critical it is to express our thanks.
