Dear 8th Grade Families:
I hope you had a good summer. I am looking forward to seeing you over the upcoming holidays.
Every year on Simchat Torah evening, after dancing with the Torahs, we unroll one Torah scroll entirely and it takes up half the sanctuary. It is always breathtaking.
Our 8th graders are invited to stand in front of their Torah portion to read the first few verses they read at their bar/bat mitzvah.
We will begin in Genesis and go down the line until everyone has read their part.
Our hope is that this will be a powerful display of how the Torah lives through us and our speaking its words. We hope it is meaningful for your children and a moment the younger kids look forward to with anticipation.
Please let us know you plan to participate.
