Chag Shavuot Sameach! Happy Shavuot, the holiday of diary! 🥛 🧀 🍦 🐮

Here’s some fun resources on this wonderful holiday from our friends at PJ Library:

“Originally a harvest festival, Shavuot comes seven weeks after the start of Passover, and celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. Shavuot is also the unofficial universal "eat all the ice cream you can" holiday of the Jewish people. Seriously -- Shavuot is a holiday that feels made for the young and young at heart.”

Easy Ways to Celebrate Shavuot All night dance parties, ice cream sundae bars, and story time are just a few of the ways to enjoy this most kid-friendly of holidays.

Just like that the 2021/2022 school year has come to an end- blocks were built, songs sung, lessons learned, Shabbat celebrated and so many friends made. Visit our website to learn about our wonderful play based school and about enrollment for next year.. 🕊️ https://www.bethelpreschooldurham.org/

I get a lot of questions about our policy regarding priority admission, so here are a few FAQs:

Q: Who qualified for priority admission to Beth El Preschool?
A: Currently enrolled students, siblings of currently enrolled students, siblings of alumni students, and students whose families are members of Beth El Synagogue or Watts Street Baptist Church all qualify for priority admission.

Q: How do I indicate on my application that I qualify for and request consideration for priority admission?
A: When you fill out your application, the fourth question will ask you to identify any priority enrollment groups to which you belong. If you indicate one of those groups and complete your application by the February 14th deadline for priority consideration, you will be considered as requesting priority admission.

Q: Does priority admission qualify me for any discount or scholarship?
A: Not necessarily. We do offer discounts for younger siblings who enroll while an older sibling still attends and a small discount for members of Beth El Synagogue and Watts Street Baptist Church.
