After a quick kosher for Passover snack, we began our Tuesday Chol Hamoed Pesach class with a visit from Rabbi Baum. He spoke about the significance of the counting of the Omer. Ask your child to share the cool Omer handout they received. Our Parasha this week is called Shemini which refers to the "Eighth" day of the ordination ceremonies of the High Priests. We had an interesting discussion about the laws of Kashrut. Our Hebrew lesson centered around Passover terms. We were able to identify vocabulary associated with the holiday. It was so great to hear how the students participated in their home seders!
This Sunday is our final Chaverim event after Sunday school - Chaverim Game Day. We hope all of our 2nd-5th Graders will stay. Please RSVP HERE.
Next Sunday, April 23, we will have a family celebration day for Yom Ha'atzmaut that will culminate with a Zoom to our twinning class in our sister city in Zichron Yakov, Israel. We hope our families will join our students that day as we "visit" Israel and learn about Israel together in an experiential, hands-on program! 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM.
SAVE THE DATE: Religious School students will lead Shabbat Services on Friday, May 19, followed by a Shabbat Dinner. More information coming soon.
