Please note: There is no Torah Chanting class on the 5th on
account of my being at the URJ Biennial.
Snack:
There was some discussion on ‘to snack or not to snack,’
with some children coming home so sated that they were not hungry for dinner.
The solution, keep snack simple. A bag
of chips, or pretzels, or popcorn should suffice for one class. We do not need
multiple snacks, such as cheese, crackers, fruit and chips for each snack
time. Also, you do not need to send in
drinks, we have a water fountain. If you want to send in fruit, please wash it
in advance, and also make that the ONLY snack for the day. If you have a picky
eater whom you know won’t eat anything, send him/her in with her/his own snack. The sign up is at: http://templesinaischoolsnack.wikispaces.com/home
and you must save your entry by clicking the save button on the top menu.
Tzedakah: Please send your child in each with either money
or food which we donate to worthy causes
End time. Please note
that school ends at 6:15, regardless if there is an assembly, unless otherwise
noted. The only difference is that the
students are in their classrooms rather than the sanctuary. Noted: Chanukah
Party on Dec. 10th will have a 6:00 dismissal
This Friday at 5:30 is our popular Rock Shabbat. I know some students need services hours so
this is a great opportunity.
We do not have school on Thanksgiving, Nov. 26
Looking ahead: Start
brushing off your favorite brisket recipe for the Great Brisket Bake-off on December
11th, and bring your menorahs for a congregational menorah lighting.
This Saturday is Tali BenDor’s first time leading our Tot Shabbat
at 9:30, so those with young children please come out and support Tali.
On Sunday, November 15th we have two events going on:
for the little ones, there is
Story Hour at 10:00
Also at 10 for the adults is the Global Day of Jewish
Learning, you can read more about this in the upcoming weekly updates.
One last thing:
At Orientation this year we outlined the new, fun family education program this year: Jewish
Game Night. For those not in attendance, here’s the gist of it.
3 Holidays: Tu Bishvat, Purim, Passover
The Goal: Create a game on each holiday theme with other
parents to be presented at each of the following Youth/Folk services
Feb. 5th (Tu Bishvat)
March 4th (Purim)
April 1st (Passover)
Your assignment: Select one of the holidays, sign up for
it, attend the preliminary meeting, (Date TBD), and work on your ideas with the
others in your group.
If you have not yet signed up, please sign up next time
you’re in the building or email me which holiday you’d like (Tu Bishvat is
looking a little needy). If we don’t hear from you in the next two weeks,
you’ll be assigned a holiday.
