3rd-6th Grade Update:

We put a new leaf on our “Hebrew Root Tree” – Alef-Mem-Resh
Ask your child what the root means and how it connects to this week’s Torah portion. Click on the bee below to learn about this week's portion, Emor.

We have been practicing for our Shabbat service on Friday, May 20.
Each student will be leading prayers and knows what to practice. Please encourage your child to practice their prayers for you. Don't forget to RSVP for dinner below!

We hope you will be joining us for our Inspirer-in-Residence Weekend with Scott Fried. He is a health educator and motivational speaker and focuses on children, teens, and families! You and your child(ren) will be captivated and energized by everything he has to offer. Friday night is for the whole family and includes Shabbat dinner catered by Diamond Kosher Caterers. Saturday will have a breakout for Junior Congregation with Cantor Hadash and then a session for 3rd-6th Graders with Scott. Scott will meet with the teens for Lunch & Learn following services. Sunday is specifically for parents and grandparents (while the children are in Sunday school class)! You will find more information in the flyer below. It's not too late to RSVP for Shabbat dinner and Sunday breakfast! Don't miss this amazing opportunity!

Our final Sunday, May 22, will include a family education program as we wrap up our year with a "tour of Israel." We will visit The Wall in Jerusalem, do an experiment at The Dead Sea, make felafel in Tel Aviv, decorate an edible map of Israel, and so much more! Please join your child for a fun-filled and educational adventure!
