Weekly Joke
Moishe Goldberg was heading out of the Synagogue one day, and as always Rabbi Mendel was standing at the door, shaking hands as the Congregation departed. The rabbi grabbed Moishe by the hand, pulled him aside and whispered these words at him: "You need to join the Army of God!"
Moishe replied: "I'm already in the Army of God, Rabbi."
The rabbi questioned: "Then how come I don't see you except for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur?"
Moishe whispered back: "I'm in the Secret Service."

Babyccino
On rainy day Wednesday, all was warm and cozy at Babyccino! We explored day 5 of creation- birds and fish! We went fishing, created little birds/turkeys and enjoyed a sensory water foam bucket filled with fish. What fun! 

Thank You!
