What Have We Been Up To Lately?

What have we been up to lately here at the Torah Center? Take a look!

Members of the Confirmation class led Shabbat services at Concordia and had a great time. Thank you, Mr. Zoffer, for accompanying them!

Our 10th Graders also continue to run the bagel sale to raise money for their upcoming trip to Washington, DC for the L’Taken Seminar at the Religious Action Center:

3rd Grade Family Day brought parents and students together for a morning of activities including Kehillah (community time) with Rabbi Mahler:

They also learned about the importance of the mezuzah and had the opportunity to decorate their own:

Our 5th graders paired up with Kindergarteners for story time in the library. The olders students chose stories to read to the younger ones. It was a great experience for everyone!

 

And our 6th Graders discovered that they really do like to dance – especially Israeli style!
