In recent weeks we have been singing a song with the words of Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, "The whole world is a narrow bridge, and the most important part is not to be afraid." These are unsettling times, and we are sad not to be able to conclude our year in person together. We also know this week is bringing more announcements of summer camp closures. We are here for you and your children, as we are also processing these emotions in our home. Let us know how we can help.
Your children are amazing and we will tell them again this Sunday how proud we are of all of them! Please join for some brief hang out time by grade at 9:30 followed by communal time together via Zoom at 10:00. All the details you need are below. We will end our year with good memories! Please register soon for next year so that we can go from strength to strength. We hope to be able to see you soon!
With virtual hugs and real blessings, Rabbi Karen and Rabbi Micah

2020-2021 SHORASHIM REGISTRATION
Register now! To access the Shorashim RS Registration link for 2020-21 please click below. We are so glad you are a part of our temple community and look forward to welcoming children back in the fall! A calendar will be sent soon.
Grades 3-6 have flexible choices for Hebrew learning. Click below for the Hebrew schedule form. We understand that scheduling is uncertain now. Please return when possible.
The Hebrew word KEF means fun. Kef begins with the letter Kaf, one of the "K" letters in addition to the letter Kuf. Ask your 3rd-6th graders what the letter Kaf sounds like (not a sneeze but a ...)! It has not been so fun being stuck at home, but we can still find ways to have fun. Kids should have fun during the summer (they and we all deserve it). We wish you a summer filled with fun moments, even if it is different from what had been planned. Share the fun you are having with your temple friends!
