Seventh-grade students had a chance to see the Torah cover from the Tree of Life Synagogue up-close. This Torah cover is traveling around the U.S. to different congregations who are hosting it in their Aronei Kodesh for Shabbat, along with a sacred conversation about hate speech, gun violence, and how we heal one another.

Developing a Sense of Gratitude
November brings with it images of families and friends sitting tableside celebrating Thanksgiving along with lines of shoppers out the door looking for the best deals at every store. So the big question is: how do you focus on all the great things you have during this time? The answer is simple: by practicing gratitude. Read more about the practice of gratitude on the Heilicher blog by fourth-grade teacher Ms. Marron.

Birthday Party Reminders
As the school year is under way, this is a reminder that when planning
a personal celebration outside of school, we ask that you:
- Not distribute invitations at school.
- Try to schedule on a day other than Shabbat/שבת (Friday night and Saturday until stars out) or on Jewish holidays.
- Be respectful and accommodating to those with religious and/or other dietary needs.
- Be inclusive and understanding of the choices families make without judging harshly. You don't want your child to be the only one who doesn't get invited. Likewise, inviting the whole class would be wonderful, but this isn't possible for all families.
