Sukkah City 2013!

We've been doing all kinds of crafts and activities to prepare for this year's Sukkah City. Here's a look at what the children have been up to! Parents are welcome and encouraged to come join us tomorrow September 17th at 9am - 11am to help decorate and enjoy the Sukkah huts as we get in the spirit of the Sukkot holiday. 


Each class will have a different themed hut with decorations all around. This tradition stems from the ancient dwellings of the Israelites during their 40 year journey through the desert. These shelters served as a place to gather and observe Sukkot by entertaining and sharing meals with loved ones. Getting outside and decorating our huts is a great way for the children to learn about an important part of Jewish tradition.

If this is your child's first year with us at B'nai Israel Community Day School, here's a look at the fun from last year. 





We're looking forward to sharing this day with you!
