Ms. Ilene's class:  The students had a wonderful time celebrating Yom Ha'Atzmaut with Yael (she's our wonderful shin shin). They have been working with her all year and have really enjoyed it.  The students will be learning about Shavuot and will be making related crafts. This class will be joining our Tot Shavuot on Friday, May 11, 2018, at 6:30 PM when they will be singing some of your favorite Shabbat songs.  As always, have your child wear white shirt and a dark bottom.  I hope to see all of you there.

Ms. Hali's class:  The students had a wonderful time celebrating Yom Ha'Atzmaut with Yael (she's our wonderful shin shin). They have been working with her all year and really enjoyed it. The students will be learning about Shavuot and will continue to learn new Hebrew letters and vowels. Their Class Shabbat Service will take place this Friday, May 4, 2018, when they will join the Aleph class.  As always, have your child wear white shirt and a dark bottom.  I hope to see all of you there.

Aleph Classes: Please encourage your children to review their Hebrew letters and vowels. Please remember that we want all of our students to be present every day. This will enable them to strengthen their Hebrew reading.
Their Class Shabbat Service will take place this Friday, May 4, 2018 at 6:30 PM.

Bet Classes: The students are progressing nicely in their Hebrew studies. Please continue to encourage your children to practice their reading at home. Yael has been working with our students and she really has made Israel come alive.  She will continue to work with them through the end of the year.
The Bet Class Shabbat Service will be on Friday, May 18, 2018, at 8:00 PM. Students are required to wear a white shirt and a dark bottom.

Gimel Classes: The Gimel Class are making their own Tefillah recordings. I have listened to several and they sound just great. Thank you, parents, for assisting them. Thank you for those who attended our Family Workshop last Sunday. It was educational and enriching.

Dalet Classes:  The students had an incredible time celebrating Yom Ha'Atzmaut with Yael.  They have been working all year with her and enjoyed every minute of it. Please encourage your child to practice their Hebrew reading.
REMINDER.  Our Dalet students MUST attend services in the Main Sanctuary to receive Junior Congregation credit.

Hey classes: Hebrew High School classes continue on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM.
