Dear Parents,
Where has our school year gone?
We continued our Torah studies, discussing the Jewish values it teaches us through the stories it tells.
Abraham & Sarah became the father & mother of a great nation - Israel. They showed us how to live and advocate for Justice. They exemplified the meaning of Hospitality. They opened their home to anyone who was in need. They lived a life of Shalom Bayit - Peace in the home - by compromising. The life they lived was authentic and a wonderful example for their children, family, servants and friends (all of which followed in Abraham & Sarah's teachings). They too became "team players", part of the Jewish people -עם ישראל. Believing and committed to the Covenant with God.
Our learners have discussed how they practice these values in their own life at home and in school. Being grateful, sensitive, happy, content and kind.
Have a happy Mother's Day and I look forward to our last few days with this bright & sensitive group of students. I also look forward to seeing you at our Torah celebration on our last day May 21.
It has been a privilege working with your children!
Shabbat Shalom
Cillia Kleiman
