RELIGIOUS SCHOOL UPDATE
It was so wonderful to see all of our students back at school on Monday! Classes resumed with the study of the Bible stories, learning the days of the week in Hebrew, making Hebrew name bracelets with special Hebrew letter beads, and discussing the importance of social justice and tikkun olam (repairing the world).

Room Parents are sending out emails to their classes about TSSB Family Camp in February! Please watch for the email and check out the flyer attached to the newsletter. Please contact Cantor Lily with questions!

**NO SCHOOL Monday, January 15th. See you on the 22nd!
