Kitah Vav Update


Hello All!

 
We had a busy week this week! On Sunday we helped organize and pack totes for Project Night Night.  We will be stuffing totes for PNN during Sunday's Chanukkah Happenings (10:30 - 12:15! Come and join us for an amazing day of celebration for Chanukkah), and the kids helped to prepare the items.  We also put the tote bags together for an order this week. We spent some times talking about homelessness and children in need. The kids were especially receptive and interested in the issue.  We talked about how it is our COMMANDMENT in the Torah to perform mitzvoth and not just a "good deed" or "charity."  The kids were excited to help and we got a lot accomplished.

Tuesday was dedicated to working on our public speaking techniques for our D'vrei Torah Workshop.  For those kids who did not write their yet, they spent time with Morah Dworin working on writing their speeches.  The kids will ALL NEED TO TAKE THEIR SPEECHES HOME AND TYPE THEM.  Please email me at:lgawel@shaareyzedek.org with questions.  Please also have the kids send me an electronic copy of their d'var Torah and bring a hard copy in on Sunday. After the break we will invite you in to listen to the kids deliver their speeches. WE have been working hard for 6 weeks on this unit, and I am so excited about what the kids have generated. It is good stuff!

 Please join us at 10:30 on Sunday for Chanukkah Happening.  It is like a Purim festival and Mitzvah day rolled into one! The kids come for regular religious school hours, and then at 10:30 the festival opens up for the entire community. It is appropriate for ALL Ages.

Thanks for all you do!  Looking forward to Sunday,

Leah
