Shalom Religious School Parents!
Message from Rabbi Benjy Bar-Lev, Director of Education
Hello Religious School Families,
I hope you're all doing well! We had another great Sunday morning, with a school full of great ruach (spirit) and lots of fun learning. We had a handful of prospective families check out our program, which was very exciting! Thanks so much to everyone who helped make our May Open House a great success!
Next week, please make sure your child wears clothing that can get dirty. Weather permitting, the Religious School classes will take turns on Sunday planting in the vegetable garden. Special thanks to Barry Daroe for helping to make the project happen! We are so excited about it!
I will be away this Sunday, May 9th, because Lauren and I are getting married on Saturday May 8th! Thanks so much for all of your warm wishes! We look forward to celebrating with you all on May 23rd! Rabbi Apothaker and Mindy Agin will be "running the show" on Sunday morning.
On Sunday May 23rd, WE WILL MEET AT 10:00 a.m. at Friendship Park in Gahanna. We will not be meeting at Temple Beth Shalom at all on May 23rd. We will have our Maccabiah (color war) at 10:00 a.m., closing ceremonies at 11:30, and lunch at 12:00 noon. All families are invited to join us for lunch on Sunday, May 23rd at Friendship Park!
