ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

Although the harsh winter extended to well past Pesach, preventing us from saying the special blessing over flowering fruit trees in the month of Nisan, the 5th through 8th grade students took advantage of the fact that, in cases like this year, the blessing can be said during the month of Iyar. Throughout Wednesday and Thursday, a continuous stream of happy students, enjoying the warm weather, made their way the short distance to Green Meadows Farm. The students were well prepared by their Rebbeim and Morot in understanding the significance of this special blessing, which is recited only once a year, that praises G-d's ongoing renewal of Creation.
