The Gan at Temple Sinai

We took a trip to Israel… without ever leaving school! ✈️🇮🇱

Our Yom Ha’Atzmaut celebration was filled with hands-on adventures as we “traveled” across Israel together. We explored life on a kibbutz and tasted fresh, juicy oranges, experimented with the unique buoyancy of the Dead Sea in our science lab, and got creative coloring our own Israeli flags both individually and as a group project.

Before heading home, we made a meaningful stop at the Western Wall, where we shared our hopes and prayers, just in time to “fly” back for parent pick-up.

Lunch with Laura!
A big thank you to the Ware family for supporting our online auction and Temple Sinai. The boys enjoyed a special lunch with Laura filled with fun, smiles, great conversation, and of course, a little sweet treat to top it off.

Our preschoolers brought Passover to life through hands-on fun! From our giggle-filled plagues obstacle course to story time in the library, the day was full of learning and laughter.

The children built pyramids, made charoset, and bravely tasted parsley with saltwater, horseradish (with some funny faces!), and matzah ball soup.

Such a special day of exploring traditions through play and discovery!
