What a beautiful, engaging, and fun session on Israel we had as a Community School yesterday at CBD.  This was our last one of the year, and I will be touching base with all of you to hear your thoughts on these all-area school sessions - to understand their successes and areas of growth.

Thank you to the teachers, Rabbi Matt, cantor Mark, and Tali Freed (Israeli dancing lead) for making it so successful.  Between the conversations and understandings of Israeli geography, history, and reason for existence, I think we did it with honor for our children and parents.  Also a thank you to Maxi and Sharon for helping with yesterday's Israeli shuk, where the kids enjoyed special Israeli snacks!  Also thanks to Amber for making our Kotels where the kids put in special notes after singing Hatikva.
​
Coming Up this Shabbat!
We have such a full weekend at TNS - and I love how beautiful it is that we share this community together!  Here's the rundown....please come for some or all of it!
  • Friday, 6:15pm - Shabbat services led by Lauren (me).  We're starting a new TNS tradition - honoring our female daven leaders with Women of Valor nights.  We want to celebrate how TNS celebrates egalitarian Judaism, promotes female leadership, and expresses this through our tradition.  We will recite the Eshet Chayil (Woman of Valor proverb) for all the deserving women in our lives.
  • Saturday, 3-5pm - set up tent/campout if you are camping out!  Contact Ari Leva if you need anything!  ( arielleoleva@gmail.com)
  • Saturday, 5:30pm - Baby naming for Simone Rutherford (Shermin and Erik's daughter) followed by dinner kiddush.  All this will take place INSIDE TNS
  • Post-baby naming - Havdalah, bonfire with smores, and campout at Makom!  Such a fun experience for everyone.  I do have our TNS teens willing to be counselors for the boys and girls if you want to leave your olders to camp out for the night. You need to let me know!  OK to come for just Havdalah/bonfire too, but camping encouraged :)
After this next weekend, we will only have one more Sunday school session on June 5.  I'll be in touch with those details soon.  Also, I'll be sending out 2022-23 registration paperwork in the next week or so.  Thank you all for your participation, support, and engagement this year - it's been a wonderful ride!!!

Til soon (this Shabbat)
Lauren
