CREATIVE WORSHIP AND RITUAL
THE RABBI’S CORNER
The Rabbi's Corner is taking a break this week. To read past entries of the blog, please visit our website.
EDUCATION ANNOUNCEMENTS
We are on break January 1. We look forward to seeing our rested, happy students and families return on January 8.
January/February Schedule Change
Originally the 6th-12th grade regional retreat (aka Kallah) was going to be scheduled for January 13-15 (MLK Jr. Weekend) and so, as has been the custom, that Sunday was designated as an off day. Kallah has been shifted to February 17-19 (Presidents' Day Weekend) so the off day will shift as well. Now we WILL have school on Sunday, January 15th and we WILL NOT have school on February 19th. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this causes. Please contact Rabbi Seeg, learning@shir-hadash.org, you have any questions or to find out more about Kallah.
YOUTH ACTIVITIES
Dinner/Movie/Havdalah Night for Grades 2-4, January 14
On Saturday, January 14, there will be a special program for our 2nd-4th graders. We will get together beginning at 5:30 for dinner, a movie and Havdalah. The program is expected to run until approximately 7:30. Parents are not required to stay with their kids but are welcome to if so desired.
On Sunday, January 22 our 8th-12th graders will be going snow tubing at Wilmot Mountain! We will leave by bus at approximately 2:00pm and ride up to Wilmot for two hours of snow tubing with an expected return time of approximately 6:00pm. (The times are subject to change as Wilmot has not yet posted their tubing calendar but they will not be too different than this.) Stay tuned for more specifics on timing and cost.
