Camp Day!

It was a party!

Adam with our visiting fearless leader,  Rabbi Isaac Saposnik

It's nice having a visiting Rabbi, there's even time for a cup of coffee!

Did you know...Deborah and Rabbi Isaac have worked together to grow the Recon. youth movement for a million years?!

Beautiful Deborah Newberger surrounded by some of her posse.

Students making Joseph's coat out of candy.

Just like camp!

Why do you think Joseph's coat had so many colors?

Okkaaaay, that looks like A LOT of candy!

We dream about who we want to be, what we want to do, what we want the world to be like, and more... 

Candy. Lot's of candy.

Phewf, we actually all fit in the Sanctuary!

Happy.

She told me to smile, so I'll do it.

Wearing a Bear's tee-shirt--they won!

I'm going to try this relay race and we'll just see how it goes.

So, let me tell you how it's going to be...

Getting a little prep-time in for Hanukkah Lights and Miracles

This isn't so bad. I may even like summer camp.

6th grade boys looking not-so-innocent.

Hanukkah Lights and Miracles 

Please make sure to attend our highlighted Hanukkah Lights and Miracles service on Friday, November 22nd. This short, very musical service will include your children.  Each grouping of grades will have the opportunity to sing and dance to an amusing Hanukkah tune. The students have a great time and always enjoy the glow sticks (who doesn't?).

Please arrive at 7:00 p.m. for dance rehearsal. The celebration begins at 7:30 p.m.

Toy Drive (Send Toys)

There will be children who will go without this holiday season. Shir Hadash Sunday school would like to help shrink that number by partnering with the JCC in collecting new toys and giving them to children less fortunate than our own...

Toys! Toys! Toys! Please send new toys appropriate for infants through Kindergarten and we will make sure they get to the JCC, who will distribute them accordingly. We will have a box set up in the front of the school for your convenience. 

Bagels for Sale (Send Money Mom and Dad)

Many of you have taken advantage of our Bagels and Coffee Corner on Sunday mornings.  We are thrilled to raise money for our youth and at the same time offer a great snack for many on-the-go families.  If you come to school by 9:00 a.m., you will have time to eat a scrumptious bagel and drink a hot cup of coffee before joining services.  We also offer a cart outside of the sanctuary for those last-minute, unfinished bagels to wait for their rightful owners. Bagels may also be purchased for snacks and eaten later in the morning.

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.

Tzedakah (Send Money Mom and Dad)
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!
