FOTT Movie Night

The second FOTT Movie Night was an absolute blast, filled with laughter, singing, and delicious snacks! The Movie Night Host Committee picked Descendants for the evening, and it was a perfect choice. A special shoutout to Tomas B. and Marissa T. for taking the stage during the first song and dazzling us with their amazing dance moves! The “Dude’s Truth Gummies” and the popcorn were a big hit. We can’t wait to see what the Host Committee picks for the next Movie Night!

CDS Visit

For MLK Day, Friendship Circle and The Beacon participated in a service event with Community Day School. Students took time to reflect on what accomplishments they’d made in 2024, and set realistic and healthy goals for 2025. Some students collaged a vision board, others made bingo cards, and some even wrote letters to their future selves. Some students’ goals focused on limiting procrastination, preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, and getting outside more.  What goals are you working on in 2025? Are they measurable and realistic? Do they commend you on how far you’ve come already?

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT BY RABBI MORDY This week is the last Parsha classically read in the Torah. It’s actually the second to last Parsha in the Torah but we read Sukkot-themed readings throughout the holiday until Simchat Torah, which falls a week from Wednesday, on which we read the final Parsha and conclude the Torah. I’ll save my thoughts on… Read More

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT BY RABBI MORDY This week’s Parsha, Vayeilech, brings us one week closer to the completion of the Torah. It also is the Parsha that always falls out around Yom Kippur (this coming Wednesday night and Thursday); often, it is read together with last week’s Parsha, Netzavim. There is something interesting in the names of both Parshas.… Read More
