Webster’s Dictionary defines the word to reflect as to have a bearing or influence. I trust that we have given our students the skills to express thoughts or opinions resulting from “reflection.” Our Religious School has embarked on a fabulous and exciting voyage to learn about our heritage. It has been a fun trip filled with adventure and experiences that will help guide our students for the rest of their lives. Every step that we have taken has been a blessing; we have had an enriching and rewarding year at the School and I look forward to watching your children grow into fine young adults.
We are very fortunate to have the dedication of the many people who strive to make our synagogue the vibrant, meaningful and wonderful mainstay of Conservative worship that it is in our community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for supporting our Religious School with carpools, tuitions, fundraisers, and most importantly, participating at our programs and services. I also want to express my gratitude to the many lay leaders who have devoted their time and energy to make our synagogue and the Religious School the wonderful, vibrant place it is. In addition, my thanks go to Rabbi Finkel, Cantor Toren, Sarah Blossom, our Administrative Assistant, and all the exceptional staff I have been privileged to work with this past year.
Lag Ba’Omer is the name of the Jewish observance that refers to the 33rd day of the counting of the Omer. An “omer” refers to a sheaf of barley or wheat. In the book of Leviticus, it is written that God commanded people to make an offering of a sheaf of barley on each of the 50 days between Passover and Shavuot. The day number was announced after the evening service, and in time this ceremony came to be known as the “counting of the Omer”. The Religious School students had a wonderful day commemorating this holiday; Todah Rabah to Men’s Club for the delicious Bar-B-Que, and to Sisterhood for helping sponsor this great event. “L’Dor V’Dor – From One Generation to the Next” May we all continue go from “strength to strength”; have a wonderful summer and see you in September. B’Shalom, Mary Sheydwasser Religious School Director
