Rosh Hashana & Yom Kippur Shofar Blowing
Or Shteinmetz • October 2, 2022
Our kids had a special visitor- Mr. Boltax, who brought his Shofar (a horn of a kosher animal). The children heard the Shofar blow and got to touch it.
What does the Shofar horn symbolize?
The very first reference is in Genesis when Abraham was about to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. As an angel stops Abraham, we are told that a ram gets caught as his horn is tangled up in a thicket. The animal gets substituted for Isaac. Hence, we are taught that the shofar represents continuity and a hopeful future.

Writing comes before reading in Montessori. With the Moveable Alphabet, children build words, explore sounds, and *discover* reading naturally.
Benefits of multi-age group environments include boosted self esteem, confidence, and easier transitions, among many others.
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.
