Up, Jerusalem! stand upon the heights:
look to the east and see your children gathered
from the east and the west at the 
word 
of the Holy One,
rejoicing that they are remembered by God.
Barach, 5:5



We extend our thanks and appreciation to Darlene Bedford
(grandmother of Noah Bedford, 5th grade)
who set up and decorated our beautiful tree in the Dominican Hall.
