Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner
It was the last class of 2022 this week for Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah. As a special pre-Hanukkah treat we had donuts! We approached the story of Hanukkah from a more grown up perspective - discussing 'what are we dedicating ourselves to (since a Hanukkah theme is about dedication) and about how to approach the concept of miracles. Together, we learned the prayer and tune for lighting the Hanukkiah and the order that we light the lights in! Jesse Stow-Lidner practised reading from the Torah. It was a true celebration of Hanukkah as we played dreidel, sang Hanukkah songs and reflected all we accomplished and learned over the past year with the students sharing their favourite class from the year. A special mention to Sophia Van Coppenhagen for learning all of Ein Keloheinu and Ein Kamocha so well. A heartfelt thanks to David Zyngier for ongoing mentoring and support and to Rabbi Link for his efforts to bring our Hebrew learning to the next level. We wish everyone an early Happy Hanukkah, a safe and relaxing summer and we look forward to seeing everyone at our first class of the new year- Orientation Night/Pizza Party on the 8th of February.
