Beth David’s Religious School New Summer Program Puts Jewish Values Into Action
Each day after a joyful morning tefillah/prayer experience filled with songs and spirit our students will be introduced to a new Jewish value, including Shalom (peace), to Tzedakah (charity), Ometz Lev (courage). Through stories, games, art, and cooking our kids will explore how to live these values in their homes and community.  On Yom Yisrael, our students will learn about the state of Israel and its importance to Jews around the world. We will conclude the week on Friday with the value of hakraat hatov (gratitude) culminating in a Kabbalat Shabbat you will not want to miss. beth-david.org/summer-program
