Dear Parents,
I was not in school this last
Sunday,but the substitute continued with our book Kol Yisrael and our review
using the "Hasefer" pamphlets.
On Tuesday, we bagan our day with Teffilot with Cantor
Gutman. He is preparing, the students that are interested, to be part of the
choir that will help lead services in the upcoming weeks on Shabbat in the main
sancturary.
He is introducing many new melodies to the traditional
prayers. He distributed CDs a few weeks ago. Encourage your child to listen to
the CD and familiarize him/her self with the melodies.
We are continuing to make good
progress with our reading in all the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.
On Wednesday evening we had our grand opening of the new
Berman Religious School wing of Congregation Shaarey Zedek. It is a beautiful
state of the art facility with the most up to date educational equipment and
furniture. Our own Rabbi Starr along with the Arnie Eisen, Chancellor of The Jewish Theological Seminary, and Mr. Mandel
Berman , who generously funded the new renovations, spoke eloquently. Our
assistant director, Allison Gutman worked tirelessly on the planning of the
renovations and she did a magnificent job. Take some time and come in when you
drop your children and have a look!
Have a good Shabbat and I hope to see you all on
Sunday.
