Our Lower School, with grades pre-K through fifth, celebrates Jewish milestone events at every grade. The beauty of these milestones is that they include family education, which provides our students
and parents with the joy of discovery!
On Saturday, our third graders and their families experienced the beauty of the
havdallah ceremony, a ritual that symbolically marks the end of Shabbat and ushers in the new week. Families gathered for a student presentation and hands-on art projects, including the making of beautiful
havdallah sets out of glass and beads, as well as a spice bag.
Our students were taught how to sign the
havdallah blessings, and it was a moving experience to watch all of the students signing in unison. The evening then concluded with a festive and delicious
Melaveh Malka.
We want to say
Yashar Koach! to our students and offer many thanks to Carrie Zucker Siegel, Gena rosenberg, the entire third grade staff, and Morah Ruti for all of their hard work in creating such a beautiful Jewish milestone and for making great memories to add to our students' extensive treasury of positive Jewish experiences.
Stay tuned for more milestone events with our
Lower School students!
