Important Message from Gail Rose
Attention First through Fifth Grade Parents
December 19th is our Erev Shabbat Hanukkah Party. This fun filled musical evening will feature the Shabband and the Talmud Torah Sunday School's first through fifth grade students. The first and second grade students will sing Dreidls of Hanukkah and S'Vivon and the third, fourth and fifth graders will perform Neis Gadol and Light One Candle.
All students are to sit with their parents and will be called to the bima when it is their turn to sing. Please arrive ten minutes early so we will be in our places and ready to begin by 6:15.
There will be a Hanukkah dinner and party immediately following the service. If you care to stay for the dinner and party there will be a cost of $5.00 per person or $20.00 per family. RSVP for the dinner/party at: rsvp@TBSohio.org. The entire community is cordially invited to join in this joyous event.
