Dear Parents and Friends,

 

 
Our Head of School, Renee Rudnick, sends her sincere thanks to all for your expressions of sympathy on the recent passing of her father-in-law.  Renee has asked me to relay the following message to all:

 

Mazal tov to all for what she has heard to be a 

phenomenal Zimriyah (though she is not surprised--wonderful kids, fantastic faculty and staff!)  Kol Hakavod to everyone involved.

 

Renee also hopes everyone will return to school on Monday, February 25th, Shushan Purim, refreshed and ready to begin the next four weeks before Pesach.  And when the students enter the doors of JCDSRI on that Monday, they should be in costume and ready for Purim activities (see Purim block below)!

 

                                                                                          --Eileen Ellis

 

Shabbat Shalom,

You and your family are invited to participate in the annual Providence Purim Parade which begins at Sessions St and Elmgrove Ave on Sunday, February 24th at 10:30 a.m.
  
Also on the 24th, Temple Emanu-El invites you to their Purim Carnival in the Temple building.  Beginning at 10:15 a.m., there will be a special session for PreK and K families until 11 a.m.  From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the carnival is open to all.
  
When we return to school on Monday, February 25th, it will be Shushan Purim.  Our children are invited to come to school in costume.  The day will be filled with Purim activities, including the megillah reading, songs, story-telling, graggers, hamentashen and a magician's performance at 2:15 p.m. in the Goldberg.  Parents and siblings are also invited to the magic show.

So if Purim is approaching,

can Pesach be far behind?

Does Pesach seem overwhelming to you as a member of an interfaith family? 

On Sunday, March 10th,  

Temple Sinai in Cranston, RI, and the Mothers' Circle of the Jewish Alliance, invites you to participate in a
FREE
educational workshop
helping you to celebrate Passover in an enjoyable, meaningful way.
No prior experience necessary!!
