Happy new year! I’m proud to report that Congregation Sha’are Shalom has a vibrant group of religious school students that are active at the Synagogue as well as their schools and in the local community. In addition to arts, crafts, Bible stories, Hebrew studies, and music sessions, our students took part in the fall food drive, the walk to end homelessness in Charles County, volunteered for the Safe Nights Program, and contributed winter clothing for the Children’s Aid Society here in Southern Maryland. More to come in 2012!
Thanks to all our families and especially our volunteer teachers. Thanks also to Pam Green and those who organized and hosted the Chanukah party.
A special Mazel Tov! to Noah Kanter who at age 8 did an outstanding job leading our family service in December and preparing a meaningful d’var Torah. His motivation, hard work and thoughtful commentary is commended.
Religious School is held Sundays at 9am. There is a family service open to the congregation which lasts from 9-10am and then 2 class sessions which cover prayer based Hebrew and Jewish Studies. New students are welcome any time throughout the year.
Shalom,
Jasha Levenson
