Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner
This week our students started volunteering at the KN Tikkun Olam Food Van and we voted ‘Paw Pals’ to be our tzedakah of choice for 2023. We are excited that more children will benefit from therapy dogs thanks to all the donations from BM/Kesher families. Our davening skills are developing and improving as we are learning the Shema and Veahavta.We’re thrilled to see the progress the kids are making in large part to them using their prayer binders at home to practise. Great job, kids! It's also nice to see the new students are settling into our warm and welcoming group of Kesher/Bnei Mitzvah students.
