Highlights from Gan Kol Shalom

As the weather starts to cool down, it's the perfect time for a warm cup of tea! The children enjoyed preparing their own tea, practicing pouring, mixing, and serving. Such a simple and cozy way to enjoy the season as part of a grace and courtesy lesson.

This week, our Director Carla Goldstein was interviewed by the Washington Jewish Week. Kol HaKovod - we are so proud!
