Dear Parents,
Happy Yom Haatzmaut!
It has been a week of Reflection & Celebration.
This week our class with several other religious schools
went on a tour of "jewish Detroit". Thanks to the Jewish Historical
Society of Michigan and our guide Ruthy Goldstein, who is a member and grew up
at CSZ.
We used the booklets that the kids worked on in class and
continues to learn about the early Jewish settlers in Michigan.
The highlight was visiting the old CSZ building on
Chicago Blvd. We were all in awe of the beautiful Sanctuary, which is still in
good shape. The present Congregation welcomed us & as one student
said" I didn't think the first time I was in a Church would be during
Hebrew School.
It was a very interesting, educational morning.
To celebrate Israel and remember those that gave their
life to protect Israel we had a school wide program that was great fun."
Jews around the World " helped us learn about communities from around the
world. While traveling around the world to different countries our learners
were engaged in thought provoking discussions and activities. At the end the kids got to celebrate Israel
by eating falafel, pita & humus. It was a terrific program.
Looking forward to another productive week ahead!
Shabbat Shalom
Cillia Kleiman
