Mazel Tov to our most recent Bar Mitzvah Eric Richman and the entire Richman family, you all did a wonderful job!
Thanks and congratulations to all our talented stu-dents who performed at Sha’are Shalom’s first Purim Variety Show. Thanks also to Suzanne Darby for organizing this great event that highlighted the many talents of our students, congregants, and friends as well as the women’s group for the great Purim baskets and hamentashen!
As religious school principal, I am sourcing for interest, ideas, and volunteers for a Sha’are Shalom Youth Group. My initial thoughts would be for students grades 7-12 to meet once a month on Sundays, join the religious school for the family service, and then study a variety of Jewish subjects and social action based on their interests. Once we have our new spiritual leader, another option may be to meet after our “2nd Saturday” services and be part of the adult education we hope to start later this year. If you have a student you would like to enroll or are interested in volunteering to lead the group, or per-haps teach a single lesson, or help organize a social action event, please email [email protected]
The religious school is also looking for volunteer teachers for next year’s K-1 class. Subjects include Bible stories, holidays, arts & crafts, songs, and an introduction to the alef-bet. No experience is necessary and teaching materials can be provided. If you are interested please email [email protected]
Shalom,
Jasha Levenson, Religious School Principal
