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!
Thanks for all you
do! Looking forward to Sunday,
Leah
