A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY I know I’ve discussed this before but it’s a lesson worth repeating. This week’s Parsha, Ki Teitzei, contains 74 commandments—huge number! There are many and they span a vast number of topics but I will mention one that contains a profound life lesson. There is a commandment that if you build a house… Read More
Welcome Back Apple Picking Apple Picking was a blast and a great way to start off our 2024-2025 Program Year! Garret loved the tire playground and racing down on the slides. Morgan and Kofi found some of the prettiest apples in the Orchard, and Trio enjoyed the hayride. We had a wonderful lunch in the pavilion and brought in the… Read More
