“WHERE CHILDREN AND TEENS EXPERIENCE THE<br />
WONDERS OF MODERN JUDAISM”<br />
Dear Families,<br />
Shalom,<br />
As Jewish educators we continuously invest endless<br />
efforts in creating meaningful learning experiences to<br />
students in supplementary schools. Although aspects<br />
of the Jewish life cycle are marked in the calendars, it is<br />
important that year after year children are exposed to<br />
new learning and knowledge to deepen and strengthen<br />
their Jewish identity. That is what makes our school an<br />
excellent supplementary school program.<br />
As we resumed after Winter break our third and fourth<br />
graders were introduced to their own Siddurim at<br />
a Shabbat dinner and Siddur presentation. In that<br />
occasion our students received a personalized Siddur<br />
with a dedication from their parents to treasure it for the<br />
generations to come. In addition, all students Kindergarten<br />
through grade six had the opportunity to study and meet<br />
with the Rabbi in a “Tour the Shul & Ask the Rabbi” session.<br />
Students and families in grades five and six, also had their<br />
Shabbat dinner, where they presented their insight about<br />
the material learned for Parshat Ha Shavua and Hebrew<br />
and Judaic topics. After baking and tasting Hamentaschen<br />
for Purim our students re engage with Matzah and Mitzvah<br />
learning for Pesach.<br />
The flavor of the pictures below show the “Kodak moments”<br />
of nurturing our students with meaningful experiences that<br />
renew and deepen their learning of Judaism while building<br />
and enduring the essence of our traditions.<br />
