Happy Chanukah! We enjoyed lighting the menorah with our 3rd-6th graders this week and look forward to celebrating with you this Sunday!
Please see the special K-6 Chanukah schedule for this Sunday below. For families who also have preschool age children, you can come with younger siblings at the end of the morning 10:45-11:30. Please let me know by Friday so that we can account for numbers.
Masks are required indoors (and outdoors when social distancing is not possible), windows are open indoors (dress accordingly), capacity is limited, no food will be served indoors, and please stay home if you are not feeling well. Every child will receive a take home Chanukah treat bag this Sunday!
You are welcome to join us for Menorah ice carving and lighting at University Station outdoors this evening at 5:45 and for our Shabbat & Chanukah service this Friday at 6:30 pm (in person or livestream).
Let me know any questions and see you soon, Rabbi Karen

Sunday, December 12 - stay tuned for a special schedule/program
Each Sunday morning we need parent volunteers to help especially when children are outside. Due to COVID, students are outdoors when possible. We need adults to walk the perimeter around the temple to help with security, and to assist teachers with moving supplies. Get your steps in! Please volunteer for at least one session. You can also email Rabbi Karen.
