What do you do to prepare for Shabbat – to put you in the
mood? Here at the Academy we enjoy a
Friday assembly complete with d’var Torah and class presentations. Mrs. Gersten has been overseeing this project
for the past several years now, and like many other events and activities that
we all take for granted, it is a sparkling gem.
This past Friday the 6th graders took control. They opened with a delightful d’var Torah
that involved the entire audience. After
explaining the importance of a king having his own Torah, each child was given
a small rolled scroll, complete with ribbon.
They were invited to write into the scroll their favorite mitzvah; then
re-roll the scroll and tie it up.
Everyone went home with his own personal “Torah” – what a lovely idea!
The 6th graders followed this up with a
heartwarming and enjoyable video that they made featuring some important
aspects of our IKaRR program. The link
is below. Please watch, enjoy, and “shep
nachos,” as the saying goes.
All of this was followed by a cute presentation by the
new Torah Metzion Kollel boys. They
acted out a famous Yiddish story which the audience appreciated.
Friday assemblies take place at 2:15 on long
Fridays. Come by for a smile and a bit
of pre-Shabbat inspiration.
