Religious School Update

This week we focused on preparing for Passover and our upcoming Shabbat service on May 17. On Sunday, students went through the Hagadah with Cantor Hadash. We practiced blessings, songs, and prayers. Cantor played the piano and students sang. Click on the Religious School Pictures link above and go to Passover 2024 to see the pictures and videos. We hope your child will be able to fully participate in your Passover Seder.

Please remember to RSVP for the Crumbiest Picnic on Sunday, April 28 to receive the address for the beach. Our Sunday class will be held at the beach that day, not at CSK. Also, please RSVP for the Shabbat Dinner on Friday, May 17. All of the students will be participating in the service.

This Shabbat is Junior Congregation and Teen Lunch & Learn. It is extremely important for all students that are Pre-B'nai Mitzvah to attend Junior Congregation with Cantor Hadash. Attending Shabbat services, especially Junior Congregation, is a great way for students to become familiar with the service and to begin to prepare for B'nai Mitzvah!

We DO have Sunday school this week, April 21.

There will not be a weekly update next Wednesday, so save this one for all of your Passover and end of school dates.

Have a Zissen Pesach!

Moving Traditions is inviting Jewish teens to apply for two teen changemaker programs:

The Meyer-Gottesman Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellowship is a distinctive opportunity for young Jewish feminists in 9th-12th grade to build intergenerational and peer-to-peer relationships, to learn how to effectively speak their minds and build their activism toolbox to create change in their community.

Kumi: Foundation is a unique opportunity for Jewish teens in 10th-12th grade to interrupt racism, antisemitism, and other manifestations of oppression. This teen leadership experience imparts knowledge and skills for exploring justice and equity from a Jewish lens.

Moving Traditions is accepting applications through April 21!
