As sure as I am of the pollen covering my car, Spring has arrived! Spring is a time for renewal and reinvigoration. It’s when the earth tilts on its axis toward the sun, and daylight becomes more plentiful. It’s a season of hope, growth, and transformation and for us, Pesach, which is just around the corner.
As we celebrate Passover, let’s remember its message of hope...Read more...

Shalom, Kol Ami!
This month, we will celebrate and remember our Exodus from Egypt and our bondage during our Pesach Seders. This year is even more meaningful because we also remember those still in captivity in Gaza.

When the attacks of October 7th occurred, the reaction amongst those who have worked to defend Israel, those who had already served in the Israeli Defense Forces were now part of the, מילואים, milu’im, reserves, rushed to return to the land. In fact, more people reported for duty than were actually called up. In the first few days there was a lot of fear for the safety of the people of Israel and some civilians left or...Read more...

Shalom, Kol Ami-
How is it already February? This school year is flying by, and I hope you are ready to buckle in and take a ride with us! January was a short month for religious school, but we packed in a bunch, a bunch of plants! It was Tu BiShvat! We were able to celebrate with a seder for the trees! This is my favorite seder of the year, yes, even...Read more...
