| | | | Last Shabbat, Rabbi Walk led a lively Tu B'sShevat seder for 75+ people. This Shabbat, we are delighted to welcome the 6th grade BCDS Shabbaton. We also bid a Nesiah Tovah to the 8th graders from Schechter and 12th graders from WHHS who are embarking on their Israel trips. We are indeed fortunate to live in a community that provides so many educational opportunities for our children. Speaking of children, next Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh Adar, is our Youth Shabbat, when our youth from tots to teens will be leading the sanctuary service. Simultaneously, Rabbi Jeiger will be coordinating the Junior Congregation Shabbaton , which includes 11 1/2 hours of programming and meals! Please register your 1st to 4th grade children immediately following Shabbat. Following the Youth Shabbat, the next three Shabbatot are Yakar Shabbat, Shabbat Zachor (followed directly by Purim), and Shabbat Across America! Please scroll further down for details and registration for all of the related programs! Shabbat Shalom Rabbi Daniel Cohen |
