Sports League Our final Sports League was a blast! We took advantage of the beautiful weather on Wednesday by playing an intense game of soccer outdoors. Ekow and Giorgia especially got into the game! We can’t wait to see what more fun next year’s Sports League brings.
A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY Tonight begins the Shabbat of Passover. These are days which commemorate the splitting of the Sea of Reeds (being approximately a week after the Jewish people were freed) as well as celebrate – strangely, in anticipation of- the future Redemption. Much is discussed about what “the Redemption” means and people tend to have… Read More
FC Lounge and Group Friends at Home Day Our FC Lounge has had a great time hanging out this year. Groups of FC members met weekly throughout the 2023-24 year to paint, tie dye, use circuit construction kits, and play collaborative video games, including on a VR headset. Members even played board game tournaments, keeping score week after week! Last… Read More
A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY This week’s Parsha (Metzorah) continues the saga of the “leper” discussed last week.

A WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT BY RABBI MORDY And so it begins. We concluded the Torah on Simchat Torah, this past Wednesday, with joy and singing and dancing, only to immediately turn around and begin again.
