Noar Blog

Dear Noar Families,

I hope you have all had a good week!  We are looking forward to another Sunday filled with energy and excitement.  Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour this Sunday so that you do not arrive too early.

Shoreshim families will join together for Family Tefillah in the Sanctuary from 9:30-10:00 this week.  Please make sure to park out front and come directly to the Sanctuary with your children.

While your children are learning this week, parents can learn as well.  Rabbi Natan Trief will be sharing more about the history of the conflict in Israel and allow open space for questions and discussions you may still be looking to answer.  This opportunity is being offered at 10:00 in the library so grab a cup of coffee and join us!

All children will receive Kristallnacht bags this week prepared for us by the Addressing Anti-Semitism Committee.  Please be on the lookout for these in your child's Noar bag..

There are many opportunities coming up in the next month.  Please see below for more information on Family Shabbat, the Allison Edwards presentation and Chanukah Havdallah.

B’shalom,
Shanna

Understanding the War in Israel
Sunday, November 5, 10:00 am
Rabbi Natan Trief will lead a casual discussion on Sunday morning about the ongoing war in Israel and Gaza. How did we get to this point? What are some key points to understand when tackling this subject? How does it affect Jews in the Diaspora?  This is a special conversation for parents of school-aged children and a safe space to process different emotions and arrive at some baseline understanding. We'll have coffee and bagels, and hope you will join us. 

Please send coats or jackets as children still spend a few minutes on the Mercaz (playground) and have activities outdoors.
Please send Tzedakh with your child.
