Temple Sinai School Sends Love and Support to the IDF | | | |
|
|
Our Grades 5 and 6 students collaborated with their new Israeli friends in K’far Saba’s Ben Gurion School as they wrote messages of hope and encouragement to soldiers who are stationed at Israel’s northern border.
Our friends in Israel are putting together a special package that will be delivered to the soldiers before Shabbat. They will include some homemade cakes, and will print out our posters to go along with their letters!
