Religious School:March Newsletter

Dear Parents,

 

Purim is almost here and you know what that means! We are getting ready to cheer Esther, boo Haman and eat some Hamantaschen!  The senior staff have been busy preparing for the Purim Schpiel…..can’t give away any secrets but I can tell you a “cool” time will be had by all!  We hope you will come and cheer us on….and then join us for fun and games at our Amazing Purim Extravaganza.  Fun for kids of all ages….all of the proceeds support our Sr. Youth Group, who run all of our awesome games!

Please plan to join us on Sunday, March 16th from 9-11:30 to celebrate Purim!

 

It is not all masks and games for Purim here at TSTI… we always think of those less fortunate than we.  OurSeventh Graders have been examining the commandment to honor the elderly: Kibud Zekaynim.  Our Seventh Graders are going to have the honor of meeting with some of our “Vital Seniors” as part of this unit of study. Following our conversations with our conversations, we will be making comfort pillows to deliver to seniors at the Village Apartments in South Orange, a community of jewish seniors.   Our Second Graders have also studied this important commandment, and are making goodie bags to be sent along with the pillows.  Both of those groups learned a lot about some of the physical challenges people face as they age, and have become much more sensitive to the needs of our elders. They have also learned that seniors can and do lead active and engaging lives, learning, volunteering and continuing their involvement in our temple and surrounding communities.  We are thrilled that they will share their thoughts with our young people, they are great role models to us all.  

L’Shalom,

Morah Mindy
