Second Gimmel Class Family Program

For our final Family Program of this school year, the Gimmel Class students and their parents came together on April 10th to learn about mezuzot.  The program began with some group study, followed by the creation of two mezuzah "commercials," which you can view in my previous post.  Finally, students and their parents had some fun painting and decorating their own mezuzah cases.

and their parents in my previous post.

It has been absolutely wonderful meeting all of the Beth El students and their parents during this past school year!  It has been incredibly inspiring watching you all learn and grow with me during our family program series.  Have a wonderful summer!!

Mechina 1 and Mechina 2 "God Journals" Family Program

I was thrilled to join the Mechina 1 and Mechina 2 students and parents last Sunday to talk about God.  Students and parents explored their perception of and relationship with God through a series of activities, resulting in the creation of a "God Journal."

 At each of their journal stations, participants posted their responses to prompts about God...

Bet Class Mishloach Manot Program

The Bet Class students and their parents came together on Purim this year to create Mishloach Manot baskets to distribute to their family and friends.
Participants learned about the four mitzvot of Purim: Reading the Megillah (Remembering the holiday and observing it), Mishloach Manot (Neighbors sending presents), Matanot l'Evyonim (Gifts to the poor), and Feasting (making Purim a day of feasting and joy).

Fourth Daled Class Program

On March 6th, the Daled Class Families met for the last time this year to create beautiful tallitot. Parents and students worked together to tie the tzitzit onto prepared fabric.

Third Daled Class Family Program

During our third Family Education Program of the year, each Daled Class student was given the opportunity to study his or her individual Torah portion with his or her parents.  For many of the students, this was an exciting first look into the Torah portion which will play an integral role in their Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.  While studying their individual parashot, Daled Class Students, with the help of their parents, began to draw out themes and ideas from their parasha that could be useful as they begin to compose the Dvar Torah that will be presented at their Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremonies.
