Friday

The kids are learning about Yom-Kippur and about the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur: these days are called “Aseret Yemi Teshuva” – days that in particular must concentrate on our good deeds and Mitzvot.

They listened to varies stories of Jonah (Yonah in Hebrew) and the big fish – related to Yom Kippur, and learned about the Fast of Yom Kippur and the day of Judgment. We are learning that on Yom Kippur we greet on another: Chatima Tova! (May you be sealed in the book of life!)

Thank you for the Kaparot money. We will collect it and give it for Tzedakah.

Chatima Tovah – May you be sealed in the book of life.
