Wishing everyone a Hag Sukkot Sameach, a Happy Sukkot Holiday!
Please note: We have a special Breakfast in the Sukkah program this Sunday, October 7 AND the next time Religious School classes are held will be Sunday, October 14.
I look forward to seeing those of you who have made your reservations at "Hava NaGRILLA" tonight. We will have some great learning stations facilitated by religious school teachers, including "Make Your Own Model Sukkah," a game called "Which Ushpizin am I?", a Lulav and Etrog shaking station and a text study on hunger. There will also be a bounce house!
I am encouraging each class to bring tzedakah (coins to help those in need) to our classes. At the end of the year each grade will decide to which cause their tzedakah will go.
