Gymnastics and Rock Climbing Club Wrap Up

On Sunday, FC hosted the last sessions of our winter Gymnastics Club. Friends enjoyed practicing tumbling, working on their balance, and jumping on the trampoline! The zipline at Gymkhana was the favorite among both sessions! Grunnah shared that she enjoyed working on her front flip during this winter series. Wolf shared that he enjoyed all of the sessions and practicing gymnastics with his friends! Special thank you to Grunnah and Arielle for being mentors.

Teen Scene members came together on Sunday for our final Rock Climbing Club session at ASCEND Point Breeze! They had a blast pushing themselves to new heights and taking part in some friendly competitions. Naomi and Micah cheered each other on as they reached the top, while Binny, J, and Refoel conquered the tallest wall in the gym! We are excited for more adventures to come soon!

I-Volunteer

At IVolunteer, friends came together to learn about Chanukkah and participate in a meaningful service project for the JOY Program. This initiative supports adults living in group homes, many of whom are far from Squirrel Hill and don’t always have the opportunity to celebrate Jewish holidays with their peers.

Our members had an amazing time collaborating with the Howard Levin Clubhouse to create Chanukkah kits. Each kit was thoughtfully filled with crafts, dreidels, and handwritten notes. A special shoutout to Amanda Diaz for doing an outstanding job packing the kits!

We’re excited for more opportunities to give back and make a difference in our community.

As the Tabernacle was about to be inaugurated, the Parsha also describes the offerings brought by each of the tribes. What is noteworthy here is that each offering was identical and yet each was described. (For more on… Read More
