Dear Parents,
This past Sunday, we had our Simchat Limmud program. Our students had
the opportunity to shine and show their families what and how much they have
learned this year. We were very pleased to have so many of you attend.
We started the day with tefillot led by Rabbi Starr and then
went to our classrooms for regular class.
My 4th, 5th and 6th grade students concentrated on the
blessings we recite when we light the Chanukiah.
Ask your children what we
light first tonight, the Chanukiah or the Shabbat candles and why?
On Tuesday, we reversed our regular schedule and had class
first. A 5:40 p.m. we all met in the small chapel and began celebrating
Chanukah with the lighting of the 1st candle. Together with Cantor Gutman, we
recited all three blessings and lit the Chanukiah. We also sang the
appropriate songs that we sing right after lighting the candles.
We are on a holiday break now and will return to school on Sunday, January 4,2015.
I wish all of you and your families a very happy Chanukah ,
good vacation and a happy New Year.
Shabbat Shalom,
Toby Schlussel
