This Wednesday was a very difficult day at Temple Judea. We have experienced a terrible loss with the death of Vicki Hamersmith, mom to Sofie, Cameron, and Kasey. Students had a chance to discuss this in their classes and make cards for the Hamersmith kids. We also had Wednesday tefilah which was an opportunity to come together and express both our sadness and our gratitude. In addition, our 4th grade classes learned about the 613 mitzvot in Hebrew, and delved further in to the story of Cain and Abel in Judaic studies. In 7th grade we did planning for next week's holiday party with MACTown. We discussed what MACTown is and what to expect next week. We also planned some fun activities like gingerbread cookie decorating and also making holiday picture frames.
