Hi Everyone

Whew!  I'm just catching my breath from the end of the school year.  My goal this summer is to learn how to Tweet.  I've got a Twitter account, now all I need to do is learn how to use it.  Anyone?

I'll be sending updates about upcoming events in June, over the summer, school registration and the upcoming year so do check out this blog occasionally over the summer.  The next happening, actually 2 happenings, are on the same date, June 4th:  Hana Kallen's Bat Mitzvah and the Aleinu program at the home of Natalie & Mitch Fleischman.  Check out the Shofar and weekly announcement for details.

YOM HA'ATZMAUT - ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE DAY

In the scheme of things, 63 years isn't all that long a period of time.  Yet in that short period Israel has managed to forge a modern democracy against all odds and warring enemies.  David Harris, Executive Director of the AJC, has a wonderful essay at the Huffington Post that I urge all to read.

And tomorrow, our school once again joins together with the Hebrew School at Ohavi Zedek Synagogue for our annual Y.H.  celebration.  At 5:30 we have a wonderful community sing.  Won't y'all join us?
