Dear Parents,
This
week we reviewed the Jewish Values of Hachnasat Orchim (Welcoming Guests). The students were asked
how they would make a stranger feel more comfortable in their home? Some of
their answers were, "Being friendly", "offer them a snack",
"trying to find a common interest (TV, games, sport teams, etc)". We
continued learning about the importance of Bikur Cholim (visiting the sick) in
bringing happiness to the patient or elderly which could have a direct affect
on their recovery.
While reviewing the history of Chanukah, we learned that
miracles took place in the holy temple every day. However on Chanukah
we make a special blessing for the miracles that happened. Those are the
blessings we say when we light the Chanukiah.
We are celebrating religious freedom, then and now.
Our students will publicize and celebrate the miracles of
our CSZ community with a special celebration this Sunday from 10:30 am-12:15 pm. I
hope you will join us and bring the rest of your family. It will be lot's of
fun.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Shabbat Shalom,
Cillia Kleiman
