Megillah, November - December 2003
Playgroup and Tots
Moms and Tots Continue to Enjoy Monthly Play Dates
Nevey Shalom's classroom #5 was transformed into a children's playroom almost a year ago. Since that time, local moms and their young children have been meeting each month to play, socialize, and educate their children about Jewish customs and ideals.
In September, the children participated in an arts and crafts project designed to encourage discussion about Rosh Hashanah. They took halved apples, dipped them in paint, and made "apple prints." Clear contact paper was applied to create place mats for Rosh Hashanah, and of course, the children had apples and honey at snack time.
Please join us next month. The playgroup is held from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m on the last Friday of the month. Call Marci Ruderman for more information.
Tot Shabbat
Join us on the first Friday of the month for a special Shabbat service for our young children and grandchildren. Rabbi Resnick and Shula lead the children in prayers, songs and dances geared for little ears. The children have fun learning about Shabbat and being able to participate in services.
On November 14th, we planned the Tot Shabbat service to coincide with the Religious School's Shabbat Family Dinner. Besides a kid-friendly service, there will be kid-friendly food such as hot dogs and chicken nuggets. Last year, the tots participated in this event and had a wonderful time. Except for November, Tot Shabbat services are held on the first Friday of each month from 6:30 - 7:15 p.m. with a small oneg following.
