Judaic Studies- Please reach out to Alan Johnathan for an update on Judaic Studies.
Jewish Life and Culture - AJ- HI all, This past week it was so wonderful seeing so many students attend Shabbat services and even more for the Bat Mitzvah of Sofia Rosenberger. As always we reflected on the service and shared our collective thoughts. Afterwards, we looked into our homes for elements of Jewish Life and Culture. Students shared pictures they took in their house of objects that reflect their Judaism. Some items included kippot, mezuzahs, a ketubah, and menorahs. It was interesting to learn about the many similarities we all share in how and where we present our Judaic relics. Although a few students were not sure where the ketubah was, if they even had one. We also discussed the challenges of clearly displaying our Jewish pride in tumultuous times and the chooses some people make. Each week I look forward to learning how your child makes a meaningful connection to their Jewish Life and Culture; encourage them to question items in and around their Jewish life.
