Dear Parents,
It was so nice to see so many
of you and your children at Shaarey Zedek's TGIS this past Friday night. The
children did a great job of leading parts of the service and blessings at the
meal. Congratulations to all those that participated.
This past Sunday instead of
having "regular" school, we joined Jewish Family Service for their
annual FALL FIX-UP. We raked leaves and washed windows at homes of senior
citizens who are unable to do the work themselves. The students along with
their families deserve a pat on the back for doing the important mitzvah of
Tikun Olam.
We started our day on Tuesday
with Teffilot led by Cantor Gutman. We reviewed new tunes for some of the
prayers.
We are continuing with our
review and practice in reading. The students are making good progress. We
learned how to recognize the letters that look very much like other letters in
the Hebrew alphabet. Ask your children how they can tell the difference between
a samech and a mem sofit (final). We had a very short discussion on why
it is important to learn to read fluently and to be able to pray in Hebrew. Ask
your children to share with you what we talked about.
I will not be in school this coming Sunday. I look forward
to seeing everyone on Tuesday.
Shabbat Shalom,
Toby Schlussel
