Bet Limmud Announcements
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
As the Jewish holidays fall on Tuesday afternoons for 4 consecutive weeks, ALL BET LIMMUD STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND ON THURSDAYS IN PLACE OF TUESDAYS FROM SEPTEMBER 17 - OCTOBER 8. We will be running our Tuesday afternoon class on Thursdays during that time. Tuesday afternoon classes will resume on October 13th.
Judaism From Page to Stage!
(for grades 2-6, led by Sheri Gross)
Tuesday afternoons, 5:15-5:45 -- All of our favorite Midrashim and stories from the Torah come to life through drama, games, parodies, dance, art and music. There will also be time for Zamir choir to practice for leading our monthly Birthday Shabbat services.
We encourage all students participating in the Zamir Choir to stay until 6:00 for additional time preparing solo parts for our Friday night service.

Shalom Parents,
With Rosh Hashanah just a few weeks away, I am looking forward to an exciting year with you and your children.
School will begin with Bet Limmud on Tuesday, September 8th, and our first Shabbat will be September 12th.
Please join us at our Back to School Shabbat lunch on September 12th at noon. Come see old friends, meet new people and enjoy Shabbat together as a community!
Our high school (grades 7-10) will begin on Sunday, September 20th.
As we grow our Youth & Learning Center and all of our offerings, I value your input to make our school the best place it can be. Please consider joining our education committee, which helps strengthen our community and support our school. I want to thank the committee for all of their work in guiding our school and raising funds to ensure our success, and I look forward to your participation. Stay tuned for updates and new programs that you can take advantage of in the coming months, and I look forward to a wonderful year with you!
Shana Tova U'Metuka
Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year,
Josh Foster
