Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we discussed the end of Succot which leads into Shmini Atzereth and Simchat Torah. We spoke about the fact that we celebrate completing our reading of the entire Torah on Simchat Torah and begining the cycle of reading the Torah again on the same holiday.

Then we discussed the fact that the Torah has remained
unchanged from the time G-d gave it to Moshe on Mount Sinai and how we continue
to use special materials to make Torahs to this day. We also gathered around a
real Torah scroll on the bimah and discussed with Cantor Gutman how they are
made and maintained. It was a fascinating discussion!
Best,
