Shalom! After a warmer week the weather went back down into the teens just in time for Sunday school! Thank you to the Bible Players and Moreh Mordechai Rosenstein for spending last week with us! We had a blast and all learned something new! We are now back into the groove and are in a busy day today. Remember, no school next Sunday for President's Day!

Shalom! After being postponed for all too long, it's finally our first Sunday session of the year! The frigid cold brought the students in as they shuffled to class.

Shalom! With the weather in the 30's this morning, it started to feel like November on this religious school day. Today in religious school, the 5th graders held a wonderful mock trial that impressed all that attended! Morah Ita was the judge, and we had 3 chai schoolers be the bet din (Jury). The 3rd, 4th, and 6th graders were all there to watch and be amazed at the amount of work and dedication that was put into the trial. We'd also like to thank all the parents for coming out and supporting their children in the trial as well! A wonderful day at CBE!

Shalom! It was VERY cold this morning with the temperature at around 30 degrees! Today in religious school the 6th graders had their 2nd week of Project Mishpacha. They are getting more and more prepared for their b'nai mitzvot each week! All the other classes got to enjoy a normal day of school. Another enriching and learning-filled day at CBE!

Shalom! Today in religious school the 6th grade class had a discussion about where their families are from! One student brought in a board with old family photos! During the day, some of the older students made letters out to the synagogue that was attacked in Pittsburgh, while the younger grades made origami! All of our prayers go out to them. Another busy day in the religious school building!

Shalom! Wind was gusting around this morning, so people were rushing to get inside and start learning! Our kindergarten class was very small today however, with only 4 kids! Even though the class was small, we rolled back the time and talked about the Tower of Babble with kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade! The 6th graders and their parents had their very first project mishpacha today and are learning about the bar/bat mitzvah process. All and all another fun day at religious school.

Shalom! With the weather starting to get cold this morning, everyone started off the day with a chill to wake them up. The teachers and students are finally able to follow their normal schedules without any special event in their way. Even though the classes aren't having anything special today, the office is still bustling with people moving around everywhere! 6th grade, don't forget that next week is project mishpacha workshop #1!
