5:30 pm Special Tot-Hashanah service at 5 pm on 9/19/09 Tot Shabbat has a
threefold mission: ·
To give a pleasurable, meaningful and memorable
experience of Jewish traditions and values to our young children. ·
To build a feeling of community among Jewish families
with young children. ·
To set Shabbat aside and recognize and celebrate it as
a special day of the week. There will be blessings, singing,
snacking, stories, activities and schmoozing -- fun for the whole family. Under the
direction of Hannah Lavan, each Tot Shabbat Friday we’ll be offering a new
program, “Sharing Shabbat,” for big kids ages 4 to 6 (generally). After songs and before prayers and snacks
with the Tot Shabbaters, Sharing Shabbat will explore various mitzvoth through improvisation and
play-acting, stories and crafts. This
is a terrific way for your children to learn an essential part of being
Jewish — kindness and good deeds — and a bridge to Hebrew School. For children ages 6 and older: Hebrew School For children
in kindergarten through Bar/Bat Mitzvah, meeting Monday and/or Wednesday
afternoon, during the school year. Topics include Hebrew language,
study of Jewish texts, culture and customs, history and holidays.

happened. The aid returned and told Napoleon that the Jews were in mourning
over the loss of their If we know our history and understand it, then we can put our
life in perspective. We can understand ourselves, our people, our goals, our
values. We will know the direction of our lives, what we want to accomplish
and what we are willing to bear in order to fulfill our destiny. Let’s be honest! Do you
really know Jewish History? Let’s
