Rabbi Diana's Weekly Shabbos MessageMay 17, 2013Dear
chevreh, It’s
hard to believe we are coming to the end of our Shul School year. It has been a
terrific year with Rabbi Michelle as our Education Director, and we will
celebrate this Sunday, the last day of the KHN school year. This evening we will also be celebrating
seven wonderful Confirmands on the completion of their formal KHN
education. Last Havdalah, the group of
them reminisced about their time at the Shul School, amazed that they had
reached this point where they will now have have to go out of their way to get
together as a group. It was inspiring
being in their presence, as they adored each other and related to Judaism in a
strong, unique way. |
