Mrs.+Sechan's+class

We are still getting to know each other and getting used to our very busy schedule! We began the year by starting a conversation which begins "What's Jewish about a...?" We began with the word bag to lead into the Temple's food collection project for Sukkot. We will add other words periodically as we try to connect being Jewish with our every day lives, not just the time we spend at NSCI. We are beginning our curriculum with a discussion of the covenant between G-d and Am Yisrael, the people of Israel. That covenant, or brit, focuses on the land of Israel. We are beginning to discuss the importance of the land of Israel to our ancestors.

We have also begun having services with the clergy on Sunday morning. The students have gotten high marks for their kavannah: their attitude toward prayer. Have a great week!

Please remember to bring in $5.00 per child for our challah fund if you have not done so yet. Many thanks!
