We hope the nicer weather has made things a little easier at home. The kids did great during the last Sunday Shorashim and Hebrew check-ins. It is so nice to see their smiling faces and continued energy! We miss seeing them and you.
There is NO session this Sunday (Happy Mother's Day!) We encourage you to join for one of the Shabbat Services this weekend, as this was supposed to be our Shabbat retreat. You will also find details below for our last 3rd-6th gr. Hebrew sessions NEXT week (note different format). We look forward to concluding our year together with some special celebrations on Sunday, May 17!
As we start to think about next year, we are hopeful that we will be together again soon. LOOK FOR A SPECIAL MESSAGE TOMORROW WITH SHORASHIM REGISTRATION 2020-2021!
Rabbi Karen and Rabbi Micah
