We had the best first day of Beit Midrash! 🌟 The energy in the building was electric as kids reconnected after summer and parents caught up over coffee. Rabbi Jackson & Soloist Laurie led us in a spirited, ruach-filled T'Filah to kick off the year. Big thanks to our Board of Directors for sponsoring the parent coffee & nosh! We are so excited to engage, connect, and journey through the upcoming school year together.
