Relig ious School New s Our Religious School theme for the year is Kevah and Kavannah, how to take our regular routine (Kevah) and put meaning and intention (Kavannah) into our daily lives. When learning about our Jewish holidays the ?why? will be added to the action and the students will find their own connection to the ritual. When learning Shabbat prayers, our 4th ? 7th graders will gain an understanding of the prayer to create a worship of the heart and not just words being said. During September we celebrated and find meaning in to our fall holidays and special prayers and blessings. We welcomed our teachers and the 10th ? 12 th grade madrichim (guides) to our religious school. The ISJL curriculum and activities have started and we look forward to the month of October of the continuation of Kevah and Kavannah.
