“And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children.” — Deuteronomy 6:7
These words which are also in the V’ahavta remind me of those who taught me and the generations whose wisdom lives on through them. Passing our traditions and life lessons from generation to generation—l’dor v’dor—is both a gift and a shared responsibility.
It takes a village to raise a child, and our TIBE (Temple Israel/Beth El) community is part of that village. Together, families, teachers, clergy, and congregants help our children grow in Jewish knowledge, connection, and belonging. And learning lasts a lifetime. As my immigrant Hungarian grandfather used to say, “You are never too old to learn. An educated mind is an educated heart.”
I am excited to welcome our students to the first day of Sunday School on Sunday, October 11, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at TIA!
Our children have much to teach us, too. As author Robert Heinlein said, “When one teaches, two learn.”
To the TIBE Sunday School Families: on behalf of our teachers, clergy, and congregation, we look forward to teaching your children—and learning from them with you. Thank you for including us in your village!
