Shabbat Shalom!

How did we get here??!!  It feels like yesterday that we were bursting back into the building, face-to-face and ready to be together.  And somehow, 29 weeks have passed and I am getting ready to send everyone off for their summer adventures.

I don't want anyone to worry, though.  I am already planning for next year, lining up our amazing teaching team, and gearing up to welcome the kiddos back on August 21!

This week, our last together, will be special.  We have some really fun stuff planned and the kids are going to have a great day.  In order to accomodate our great day, there will be NO CARPOOL FOR PICKUP.  Everyone will need to park and walk down to grab their kiddos.  We will be outside and grouped by grade level so you can easily(ish) collect your child(ren).

We are hoping for lots of last day of school Kippah Skills movement, so...

See you Sunday!

1st graders used the game of Telephone to learn about Lashon Hara.  Lashon Hara is translated as "evil tongue" and usually refers to repeating gossip or rumors.

Our 1st grade curriculum focuses on learning about mitzvot, commandments, and how we, as Jews, are meant to live our lives.

2nd graders had a big day learning about King David.  They even made harps in Art!

Here they are pictured in Hebrew with Morah Evelyn learning the colors of the rainbow.

4th graders focused on finishing their Modern Plagues project from Passover with Morah Denise.  The students took a deep dive into Passover and then synthesized that information into our current events.

Rabbi Spike and his class worked on learning all about the 10 Commandments.  The class had a lively conversation as they explored the ins and outs of our commandments.

5th graders focused on Yom Hashoah with Morah Sigal, learning about Holocaust Remembrance day, how it is observed in Israel, and why we it is important.

Mr. E and his class were able to have Art with Morah Laura.  They made the most beautiful hamsas!

There is always so much going on in the building on a Sunday morning.  I love not only the learning, but also the connected communities that are being formed.

I hope those of you who were on Spring Break had a restful, relaxing week. We are excited to be back together this Sunday, 4/10.

Your kiddos' teachers will continue teaching about Passover as we prepare for the holiday.  We have school next Sunday, so snack will be matzah instead of challah!

See you Sunday!

It was so great to see so many of you at our Purim Carnival last week!  What an amazing day we had together.  The Temple Emanu-El community is a special one.  Please check out the photos and feel free to tag yourselves and your friends:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1637644609967456&type=3  

THIS week each class will be learning about Passover. There won't be practice Seders this year; however, the classes will all be focusing on age-appropriate holiday knowledge to bring to your Passover seder at home.  We also hope you all will be able to join us at our Second Night Seder .

Reminder:
No School NEXT week, April 3.

Dear DFRS Families,

The teaching of pikuach nefesh, saving a life, is one that we have practiced in earnest since March 2020.  Ending our 2020 school year on Zoom and spending our 2021 school year digitalIy was all about safeguarding the health and wellness of our community. 

Now, almost two years later to the day, our community has found ourselves in a place where the local transmission level is below the CDC's benchmark for minimal spread. In accordance with updated CDC guidelines, Temple Emanu-El has updated their mask policy, and I wanted to make sure you were all aware of how this update affects our Sunday School programming.

Effective immediately: 

• Masks will now be optional for those attending Sunday School, Shabbat services, and all youth programming, whether inside the building or outdoors.
• For those members who feel more comfortable in a setting where everyone immediately around them is masked, we are reserving the left section of the sanctuary as a mask required section.  This section will be clearly marked and all congregants and guests who sit in the section will be required to remained masked.
• At all congregational events where food is served, we will set up an outside area for those who wish to get their food and take it outside before removing their masks.  Thankfully, more pleasant weather will make this an enjoyable alternative.
  
  

Our community understands that there are members of our synagogue family who are immunocompromised or for other reasons still feel more comfortable wearing a mask when attending in-person events, regardless of vaccination status, and we fully honor personal preferences and practices.

CDC recommendations will be monitored carefully and will continue to adjust as necessary; this might mean that we revert to more stringent protocols if guidance changes. We appreciate your understanding, support, and patience as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Beth .


Stay safe,

Beth Blick
Principal, DFRS

Shabbat Shalom, Chaverim (friends)!

I hope you all had an awesome week.  Last Sunday was so much fun seeing some of the kiddos in costumes.  I love when our kids and parents dress up.  It's SO MUCH KEF (fun)!

With that in mind, we are really excited about Shabbatukah (Shabbat + Chanukah) coming up on Friday, December 3.  We wil have dinner outside (weather permitting) at 6:00, and then have a very special and fun Chanukah Shabbat service outside (also weather permitting) at 6:30. 

My FAVORITE thing about our annual Chanukah party is that we come dressed in our most "festive" Chanukah outfits.  Chanukah overalls...yes please!  Menorah headbands...absolutely!  PJs of varying style decorated with menorahs, dreidels, and latkes...sign us up!

Be on the lookout for registration for our Shabbatukah Party registration coming this week!

This week was Conference Week in the county where I teach.  I LOVE conference week because I get to see all of my students' parents.  It is so great to connect with the other people who love my students, and it is always so much fun to brag about the great growth the kids have made.

Much like I love connecting with parents during conferences, I love being able to see all of you each week.  Drop off, pick up, carpool, walk in...no matter which way, it is so great to have a few minutes to connect and chat.

Last week, our PreK and 6th grade parents had a great time connecting, meeting, and greeting, and this week it is the 3rd, 4th, and 7th grades' turns.

Can't wait to see you all soon,
Beth
