RELIGIOUS SCHOOLWelcome back everyone! Winter break has come to an end! I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and family time! It is now time to get back into the swing of things. Religious school will resume Sunday, January 12th! We will be focusing our studies and activities on the birth of the world, B’reishit - Genesis, creation, nature, and as Tu B’shvat nears we will have a school wide activity! I will keep you all posted. We look forward to seeing you all back soon! Please note that the month of January is another short Sunday school month. Please see our January schedule below.
