Preparing for the High Holy Days: What we do.

K-1 has Jonah in the sea to take home!

Lakeside Congregation is ready for the Chagim, Holidays.  We have been preparing since the first day of school early in September.  We blew Shofar at every Sunday t'filah, ate apples and honey, learned to sing the Apples and Honey song, as well as Avinu Makanu.  Our students talked about missing the mark before Yom Kippur and learned the Jonah and the whale story and put Jonah in the sea.

So much goes on a Sunday morning that I made an iMovie and you can see for yourself exactly what happens.  You can hear Todd Kessler, our new song leader as he sings about being sealed in the book of life.

I look forward to Sukkot and Simchat Torah and I know we will prepare just as hard for these chagim and I can't wait.  Take a look at last week.

#Blog Elul 15 Learn and see a nice iMovie

I am not sure if this is "kosher" but here is my iMovie from the first day of school.  We learned about blowing shofar in Elul, the song Sweet as Honey, by Dan Nichols and had a fun day in our classes and at our Lakeside fair, Bridges to Peace.  It was a fun morning.  Take a look at the iMovie.
