Bonding Opportunity

Many of our members with older children will tell you that some of their happiest, most meaningful  moments were spent at Shabbat services with their children. Let's work on making those memories for our younger children...

Friday, November 15th will be a special Shabbat service led by the Gan Yeladim, First, Second, and Third graders (Rabbi Eitan too!). This service is quite fun and a chance for the children to get used to standing on the bima and leading the prayers they are working on in Sunday school.  We also get to bless our children and sing some songs together. Please let me know if you are interested in hosting a pre-service pizza dinner in our beautiful kitchen, it's really fun and a great way to start a family tradition. This is a great opportunity for bonding with other Shir Hadash families--don't miss out.

The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it’s indifference. And, the opposite of life is not death, it’s indifference. Because of indifference one dies before one actually dies.   Elie Weisel 

*Tzedakah


Much to our Sunday school administrator Gloria Kaplan's chagrin, we have noticed a grand decline in our tzedakah collections. Please discuss with your child the value of giving tzedakah.  Tzedakah is collected every Sunday, and at the end of the school year the students will decide as a group where to donate their tzedakah money. Let's support our children in their efforts to give tzedakah, it's a mitzvah!

*Update-- thank you for reminding your children to bring tzedakah to Sunday school. Gloria reports numbers are on the rise. Let's keep up the good work!
