Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner
This week the B'nei kids learned about how a Sefer Torah is actually written. Rabbi Link, who among other talents is a certified Sofer Stam (Scribe) brought all his special tools! The kids actually witnessed how letters are written with a Kulmus (a turkey feather) and the special ink for writing Sifrei Torah, Mezuzot and Tefillin on actual Klaf (parchment). All were fascinated by this very special and much appreciated session! Even a few parents stayed to watch and learn! Thank you, Rabbi Link for an engaging, informative and interesting session. Junior Congregation This Saturday 26 November - don't forget services start at 9:30 am & Junior Congregation at 10:30. If you know of a student age 9-12, invite them and their family to check out our Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah program. You'll be glad you did.
