RELIGIOUS SCHOOL

Chag Sameach all,
I can’t believe it is already December. They say time flies when you are having fun, I believe that is true.

I would like to thank all of the students who volunteered their time during our 33rd annual food fest. You all did an amazing job and made our Food fest another great success!

December is a month full of festivities. Our topic this month is Chanukah and we will do a Chanukah “kick off” on December 2nd with a school wide Chanukah program.

We also have Ms. Stefanie Rozen visiting our Religious school on December 16. Ms. Rozen is the Green Family Camp summer director. She will talk about Green Family Camp and she will provide a school wide activity for our students.

I hope you all can join us on December 2nd   from 6 pm – 8 pm at the JCC for our Chanukah party. We will eat latket, light the huge menorah and have music provided by Joe Buchanan.

Please bring a dish to share and don’t forget your own Chanukkiah.
Happy Chanukah.
Manuela Sela,
Religious school director.

CBI SISTERHOOD

Chag Sameach!

First of all, thank you to all volunteers who helped during our 33rd annual food fest. You all did an amazing job and we could not have done it without your support. Hopefully next month I will have the food fest numbers ready to share.

We are gathering together for much more festivities and celebration in the month of December. Chanukah is our festival of light. I cannot wait until I can eat the latkes and sufganya. The first night of Chanukah start Sunday, December 2nd and there will be a Chanukah party at the JCC that night starting at 6pm. We will light the huge Chanukkiah outside and Joe Buchanan will come and play music for us. If you would like to join us don’t forget your own Chanukkiah and bring a dish to share.

Friday, December 7th CBI will host their Chanukah family Shabbat dinner. Please join us for services and a nice dinner afterwards. And don’t forget a dessert to share.

There will be no sisterhood meeting in December because of the winter break. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, January 16 at 5.30 pm at CBI.

I wish everyone happy Chanukah.

B’Shalom
Manuela Sela,
Sisterhood president
