From Shabbat to Shabbat: A Typical Week at Beth Tfiloh By Zipora Schorr, Director of Education You could probably call the past week at Beth Tfiloh a “typical week.” But in many respects, it was anything but typical for a Jewish day school, or for any school, for that matter. Let me tell you why. Meaningful Milestones It began last Friday with two special milestone programs: a Middle School assembly recognizing our Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrants, and the 1st Grade Siddur Ceremony. It was wonderful to see the pride of our Middle School students upon receiving a Siddur in honor of their upcoming s’machot, as well as witnessing the palpable excitement of our 1st Graders upon receiving their first siddurium.
Shabbat @BT: All Stars and Small Stars Then going into Shabbat, our 1st Graders were honored at BT Shabbat services as they became the Small All Stars together with our High School students as part of the annual All Star Shabbat, where our High School students ran the entire service in the Beth Tfiloh Sanctuary. It was an incredible experience seeing the “bookends” of our school – our 1st Graders who sang “I Open My Siddur With Love” and our High School All Stars who led services at BT Congregation, read Torah, gave Torah insights, and delivered the sermon. This beautiful Shabbat morning was capped off by our High School a
