The Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah students continue to be supported by many good educators and Rabbis. Thanks again to David Zyngier for imparting skills, knowledge and mentoring. The kids looked at the potential stressors and anxieties around their simcha and how to combat them! Great tools for their upcoming Bnei Mitzvahs and tools for life.
We look forward to this Sunday in honour of Mitzvah Day when the students will bake in order to help restock the Kehilat Nitzan Tikkun Olam food van.
