Our Community- Shul

The center of Jewish Community is synagogue. A place of prayer, study and education, social and charitable work, as well as a social center.

An year ago, our community was hit by the hurricane Sandy.

It destroyed the first floor of our school and synagogue.

Water got to tallises and Torah covers.

Water ruined sefarim

Water ruined Torahs.

Friends to see how shul members try restore their shul life.

We decided to help shul by collecting money for a siddur.

How did we do it?

Friends sent invitations to the Preschool friends to come to "Little Concert."

Abigail was selling tickets.

Pre-K Friends sang their favorite songs.

The concert was a great success.

Morah took collected money to the Judaic Store and bought a brand new siddur.

Friends approved the purchase.

They presented the siddur to Rabbi Okonov

who was touched by friends caring deed.

There is always place for a kind deed.

Our Community - Morahs

At the beginning of the week, friends visited other classes in our preschool

to see what morahs responsibilities are in their classes.

Morah Julia said that she is responsible for making sure that children

take important for them nap after lunch.

Morah Bella said that she makes sure that friends learn
table manners and eat healthy food.

Morah Leah and morah Sarrie said that they are responsible for teaching friends

letters and numbers. But most important, they teach them how to be

good friends and peaceful members of community.

While learning about communities and how people help each other, we realized that the friends in our class are our own little community and we try to think of ways we can be kind to people in our "community."

Since in a comminuty people help each other, every day, in our class, during davening one friend has the oppurtunity to stand up and share with his/her friends one kind thing that they will do for their freind at some point during the day.

Here Avigail is sharing the kind deed she will do for her friend.

Pre-K Friends are thoughtful and kind!! We think of others! We care!

Letter Kaf

This past week our dear friend Ben was our Mail Man. He brought us the letter Kaf. We thought it looked like Letter Bais until we noticed its difference. Letter Bais has an extra little line on the bottom while Letter Kaf only has a big line. Letter Kaf has one big line on top, one big line coming down, one big line on the bottom, and one dot inside.

Hint to remember Kaf's form:

Kaf is sitting with a cough candy in its mouth because it has a cough and cold.
