Kitah Hey Class Update

Dear Parents,

It was great seeing the Kids back in CSZ  this week. They were eager to share their Passover experiences with me & the rest of the class. It sounds like everyone had a good holiday!

This week marks the observance of Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Memorial Day, This day was inaugurated in 1953, by the Prime Minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion, and the President of Israel, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. It is observed throughout the World.

Our class discussed this Special day of Remembrance and each child was asked to bring home a yahrzeit candle to be lit in memory of the six million jewish men, women and children who perished in Europe during World War II. It was a tragedy, which we shall never forget. We discussed the story of Anne Frank, the learners were very familiar with her story. We talked about visiting the Holocaust Museum in Famington Hills where they can see a sapling of the Tree that grew in back of Anne Franks House.

I hope the kids will attend this Sunday's field trip to Jewish Detroit. It's very exciting and interesting trip.

Any questions feel free to call me
