Embracing Jewish Life
The Preschool children are active participants in the vibrant Jewish Life of our school. They have their own Kabbalat Shabbat every Friday morning, complete with songs, stories, Kiddush and freshly baked challah. Each Friday afternoon they gather with the Elementary School students for a lively school-wide Shabbat Sing-Along where they learn the songs that the “big kids” are singing and are warmly welcomed by the rest of the school. In addition to these weekly activities, they take part in all Jewish Holiday celebrations: they eat lunch in the Sukkah, dress up and join in the festive Purim Carnival and Parade, attend the Chanukah festivities, and many more events throughout the year. Between these activities and all they do within their own classrooms, our preschoolers are actively engaged in the joyful Jewish culture of the school community.
