Bar Mitzvah!

Chagigat Bnot Mitzvah
The sixth grade girls had a wonderful experience this past Wednesday evening as
they celebrated becoming Bnot Mitzvah. The girls wrote beautiful essays about their
namesakes, and raised money for a the children of Rechelim. The girls performed for
their guests and ate a delicious dinner. Each girl received a “Women’s Siddur” along
with a copy of her namesake in a beautiful frame, and a booklet containing the
namesake of all their peers. Many thanks to Morah Hadas Fried and all of the
Morot for all their hard work in making this evening so special.

Eighth Grade Trip to Washington!

On Wednesday June 7th, the eighth grade boarded buses and headed for the nation’s capital! Their first stop
was the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The students toured the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam
Memorial, and Korean Memorial. The boys went to The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, while the girls
went to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. The students went to a souvenir shop, and went
to take a picture outside the White House. After eating dinner at the hotel, students had a wonderful night
of bowling. The following morning the students ate breakfast and davened at the hotel, and then went on a
guided tour through the capital. They then went to Six Flags Amusement Park, followed by a pizza dinner
served at a rest area! Thank you to Mrs. Golubtchik, Mrs. Finkel, Morah Beer, Morah Hadas, Rabbi Landsman,
Rabbi Nat, Rabbi Kramer, and Rabbi Howitt for chaperoning this memorable trip!

Torah Bee!

Our elementary school students culminated their year-long study of Yedioat Klalioat with the
annual Torah Bee. One by one, students from each class came up to the front of the shul and
answered questions. Each class eagerly cheered as their class representative competed. The
competition was exceptionally close with the final question often proving to the decisive
factor separating the winning class from the runner up. An exciting time was had by all! We
can’t wait until next year’s Torah Bee. Congratulations to all of the students who studied all
year! A special Yasher Koach to all the teachers for their assistance with the program. Special
thanks to Rabbi Ribalt for coordinating this beautiful event.

Writing Festival

On June 12th and June 13th students in grades one through five participated
in our annual Writing Festival! Every student had a chance to share their
wonderful writing from throughout the year with family and friends. We are
so proud of every child for all of their incredible accomplishments in literacy
this year. Special thanks to their amazing teachers for putting together such an
enjoyable and outstanding program!
