7th Grade’s First Family Session of the Year!
Seventh grade families had their first Moving Traditions Family Session of the year this week. (Thanks to all of the families who joined!) During the session, kids learned about what their parents lives were like when they were 12 years old and had a chance to share some of their own fears, questions and concerns about being adolescents and parents learned about some of the pressures and anxieties their children are thinking about. We also had a presentation with Rabbi Epstein about the 8th grade trip to Israel. If you have questions about the trip, you should reach out to her directly at repstein@cbebk.org. We hope to have a great representation of current 7th graders going on this amazing trip next year! Rabbi Epstein also congratulated recent 7th grade b’nei mitzvah and clarified for students and families that all 7th graders are encouraged to support their 7th grade classmates when they become b’nei mitzvah by attending the service in the sanctuary. (There are special seats reserved for 7th graders up front on either side of the bima.) Please click below for some additional announcements and updates.
