The Torah is Judaism’s most sacred object. We remove the Torah Scroll from the Ark with great ceremony and Blessings and we return it similarly with prayers expressing awe and respect. This week, we study the Torah Portion, Metzora, which continues the themes of the previous Portion, Tazria. So far, in the yearly cycle of […]
What We’ve Learned from JECEI
As most of you know, the JCC Nursery School has been a part of JECEI, the Jewish Early Childhood Education Initiative for the past 5 years. We learned this past week that JECEI is unable to continue their work with new schools due to lack of funding nationally and in local communities and therefore will need to phase […]
