High Holidays חגי תשרי

Or Shteinmetz • October 26, 2022

At the beginning of each year our classroom celebrates the High Holidays starting with Rosh Hashanah symbols of Apple Dipped in Honey (A blessing for a sweet New Year), moving into Yom Kippur (being kind to your friends and loving G-d), and 5 days later building up a Sukkah, temporary hut, for Sukkot Holiday. We take pleasure in having a Soup in the Sukkah party with our parents. The last party fo the High Holiday is Simchat Torah - and Shemini Azeret. In our school, marking the beginning of the Torah reading from the start, concentrating on the book of Bereshit.

Music, Meaning, and Hands-On Fun As the mornings grow colder and the days shorter, the light of Chanukah reminds us of the miracles, big and small, that brighten our lives. This week, our school came alive with that light as we welcomed grandparents, parents, and special guests to celebrate together. It was a beautiful reminder of the connections that bind us as a community.
