Open Door Shabbat |
|
Shabbat morning is the best time for Jews to come together, and the WORST time to feel out of place in synagogue.
Join the ACI once a month for a no-experience-necessary Shabbat service, where we will explore the:
Don't know Hebrew? No problem! Skeptical about religion? We'd love to have you!
Haven't gone to synagogue since your Bar/Bat Mitzvah? You're perfect!
Join us from 10:30 am until noon on April 13, May 11, and June 22. At 10:00, there will be a brief meditation service, and at 10:30 we will start the learning service.
If you have any questions, contact Rabbi Josh at [email protected]. Attendance at all sessions is not required; sign up at the link below.

This Week In Hebrew School |
|
In Hebrew Language class, Kitah Aleph, Bet, and Gimmel played a more advanced version of the “Movement” game, relying on their memory of the words covered in previous classes. Therefore, the students had new movement words added to their vocabulary.
Kitah Aleph later watched an Israeli educational video about words that begin with the letter ד, and they learned the vowel "hirik" before continuing to work in their books.
Kitah Bet worked on writing short words on their own, while Kitah Gimmel worked on reading and writing.
In Music and Art, Kitah Aleph, Bet, and Gimmel practiced the popular Purim songs “Chag Purim” and “La Kova Sheli Salosh Pinot.” Kitah Aleph watched half of the Purim Lego story, while both Kitah Bet and Gimmel squared off by testing their memory, and competing in “Purim Jeopardy!” Kitah Gimmel’s two teams tied by the end of the period with 3,500 points each, while Kitah Bet’s 3 teams finished with 1,700, 1,400, and 800 points respectively.
In Judaic Studies, Kitah Aleph decorated clowns, put them on a string, and practiced singing and dancing, in preparation for our Purim Carnival this Sunday afternoon.
Kitah Bet students continued learning the lyrics to a Purim song (based on the song "Raise Your Glass" by Pink) that they will be performing at the Purim Carnival.
Kitah Gimmel students practiced their roles in the Purim play, based on the Megillah (story) that they will be performing at the Carnival.
In our Intensive Language Instruction class, students practiced writing the letters shin, bet, tav, and lamed, and then practiced writing the word לשבת. Kitah Bet students then contorted their bodies into the Hebrew word שבת.
Lastly, all classes assembled in the main sanctuary with Rabbi Josh; sang "Hinei Ma Tov"; reviewed the morning blessings; and talked some more about Purim, before singing "Hatikvah." |
