PARSHAT BAMIDBAR
Rabbi Aaron Leib
There are 48 personal traits that a person must perfect in order to be ready to receive Torah (see Pirkei Avot 6:5). Some people have the custom of studying these 48 attributes during this time period leading up to Shavuot as a way of preparing for the holiday which celebrates receiving the Torah. One of these attributes is Anava—humility.

All the classes of the ECC and Kindergarten came together to release their butterflies .Watching the sense of wonder and joy on the kids’ faces as their butterflies flew away ( and sometimes back to the teacher’s hands), they all saw the beauty and awesomeness of nature!!!

A FIELD TRIP TO SEE THE TORAH
In preparation for Shavuot, the Kittens took a field trip to the Middle School Beit Midrash to visit Rabbi Leib and to get to see the real Torah!! They had learned with Morah O so many things about the Torah - how special it is, how we don’t touch it with our hands because we have oil on our hands so we only use a yad, and each child got to find the first letter of their name in the Torah! What a special morning!! Thank you Morah O and thank you Rabbi Leib!!
