Hebrew Team Update

Dear Parents,

 We had a wonderful and busy week at Shaarey Zedek Religious School.

 On Sunday, we began our week with Teffilot led by Allison Gutman, our director. We focused on the division of  the categories of the prayer service. 

 In the 6th grade we used the upcoming Rosh Hashanah holiday to brush up on some of the brachot (blessings) associated with the different foods and rituals of the holiday.

The 4th and 5th grades continued with practicing our reading skills and finished up with the "Ani ...MI At (Atah)"( I am , who are you) game, but we added "Ani B... " ( I am in ...) portion to it. 

 On Tuesday, Tefillah was led by Rabbi Dahlen. We went outside to look at the trees and Rabbi Dahlen connected that activity to the Torah and what we say in our prayers about the Torah in the Shabbat morning prayer service. 

Our 4th and 5th graders continued the day with brushing up on some of  the blessings that we say on Rosh Hashana. We especially enjoyed the delicious Tapuchim and Dvash (apples and honey) and said the "Borey Pre Haetz" bracha  (blessing) before eating them. 

There is no school from now until the 16th of October, but there is a wonderful Tashlich program on October 9th at 10 a.m. at the Franklin Cider Mill for all Shaarey Zedek families. I hope to see you there for free donuts and cider and getting rid of our "miss the marks" .Make sure to register to attend.

I want to wish all of you and your families a Shana Tova Umetukah, a sweet and happy New Year filled with only good things.
