DROP OFF & PICK UP


We will continue to use a car line for drop off and pick up.


PLEASE

DISPLAY YOUR CAR TAG!


New car tags with your child's name and grade are in every child's religious school folder. Please use the new car tags.

THANK YOU

FOR YOUR PATIENCE!


Our goal is not to have cars backed up on Roscoe Blvd. However, we realize having 2 lines in the parking lot causes a bit of congestion. Therefore, students will be brought to cars starting at 11:55AM. Our hope is for all students to be dismissed by 12:10PM.

BAR/BAR MITZVAH PROJECTS

JORDYN BERGER

Jordyn spent the majority of her Mitzvah Project visiting a local Holocaust survivor and playing music for her. When she passed this spring, Jordyn wanted to increase awareness about the Holocaust so she invited close friends to a program at JFCS where a second generation survivor shared her family story and then they went on a facilitated tour of the Holocaust memorial gallery. She also collected food for the JFCS food pantry.

Dear Parents,

Are you planning your son or daughter's b'nai mitzvah? 

My name is Rose Aglieco and I am the Beth El Judaica gift shop manager. I would love to assist you with selections of gifts, tallism, kippot, which can be personalized.

You may start exploring kippots on: www.avivjudaica.com

I will then be able to ask for samples of colors. I will need about 6-8 to complete your order.

 There are many many options of Talism. There are some in the Beth El gift shop, but your child may want something different. 

The vendor which I like working with is able to embroider on tallit or bag.
