Shavuot plans using PJ LIbrary Book Sadie and the Big Mountain

Just as we are getting ready to plan for Shavuot I received the Book Sadie and the Big Mountain from PJ Library.  We are acting out the story each day just as it is described in the book.  We will end with our Rabbi dressed as Moshe, on the hill (Mt. Sinai) next to our playground.  The story touches on what it means to be a "leader" and is a great oppportunity to share a time in our lives when we felt anxious.

A Gift for Gal

As the year comes to an end, the children in our four-year-old program decided collectively to make a pillow for Gal, our young emmissary knowing that she will be heading off to serve in the army when she goes home to Israel.  This is a very special pillow with the Israeli flag on one side and the American flag on the other side, made with love using the children's handprints.  We love you Gal!!!
