Happy Hanukkah, 7th grade!

Hi families!

Hope you all are having a terrific holiday season and gearing up for a happy new year! Last week at Yachad, the 7th graders participated in a special Hanukkah celebration after their regular Tikkun Olam and elective classes. The students chose one of several fun holiday options including Hanukkah-themed Charades, Kahoot, and Escape the Room (the kids in the picture featured managed to “escape” – aka find all of the candles hidden in the room to fill the menorah – with only seconds left!)

A couple of announcements as we head into the holidays….

Upcoming Closures: 12/21 – 1/1 Yachad Winter Break

NFTY NAR Winter Kallah & Hosting Opportunity 1/3 – 1/5
NFTY NAR and Congregation Beth Elohim are thrilled to have you and your teens to join us for Winter Kallah on January 3-5, 2020. This year, our annual home-hosted weekend experience is open to 8-12th Grade! NFTY NAR and CBE can’t wait to welcome everyone to the first ever Brooklyn Kallah and highlight this amazing part of our region. The theme for the weekend is “Real Talk,” an in-depth exploration of how we can actively create meaningful connections with each other and use the Jewish art of storytelling as a skill we can take home with us to engage our peers and communities. Of course, we’ll enjoy the timeless Kallah staples like Shabbat dinner and tefilah, the first Havdallah of 2020, and Saturday night Big Fun!  Students can’t attend but want to help? Become a host family and take in a few teens from the New York area. More info? Contact Haley Breskin at hbreskin@cbebk.org
