A Message from Religious School Principal, Lois Tompkins

Thank you to everyone involved in our 3rd annual Mitzvah Day!

We celebrated Hanukkah 5778 in our own unique way!   We ate latkes on Wednesday (Day 1) and visited with Mr. Dreidel (Rabbi Lubliner).
   
On Day 5, we made Hanukkah a day of giving...
Hope Bags were distributed to our families.    We made Hope Bags for the homeless. 4th, 5th and 6th grades traveled to the Max Block Food Bank to deliver donations.   Mr. Morris Bendit spoke about the holocaust with 7th graders.    ...and we celebrated Hanukkah together with song, sufganiyot, dreidels, and fun with our Religious School family!

Hazzan Holzer led us in a Hanukkah sing-along. We spent the last 30 minutes of Sunday together.   

I hope that your family enjoyed every day of Hanukkah as much as we did!

Have a happy and healthy winter break...we'll see you on January 7!

B'Shalom,
Lois
