There is never a dull moment here in the Torah Center. We have been quite busy these past few weeks!

Check it out!

Rabbi Mahler visited the 3rd Grade and talked about Tefillin (a pair of black leather boxes containing Hebrew parchment scrolls worn during prayer):

 

In preparation for the December visual tefillah service, the 4th graders retold the Exodus story in pictures. A few examples:

 

The 5th graders talked about Avot v’Imahot – the prayer about our ancestors.

 

The 6th graders have been learning about Hebrew calligraphy:

 

To get ready for Chanukah, once again our students participated in the annual MitzvahMall…an opportunity to make donations to important agencies and organizations in honor of our friends and relatives. This year we also decorated book marks and created games for books to be given to children who need them. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, made donations and helped to brighten a child’s day through participating in the Book Mitzvah project!

 

Cooking with Ms. Freed is always a blast – especially when it’s decorating cupcakes in a ‘Creation story’ theme. Can you tell what all of the decorations represent?

 

And in the South Hills Community Jewish High School….

The 8th grade talked about Jewish values and created collages that showed what is important to them:

 

And 7th and 9th grade students enjoyed hanging out during the break:

It really has been a great month…looking forward to more to come!

A Very Happy Chanukah from the Torah Center!
