3rd-7th Grade Hebrew Students - We ask that all students maintain the Hebrew work that they have done up to now. There will be no new work assigned. Should you wish your child to continue once a week Hebrew tutoring by FaceTime, Skype or Zoom, through the end of the current scheduled school calendar, please contact Lori Dreffin at ldreffinmorah@gmail.
PASSOVER NEWS from Caroline Figiel:
Children's Shabbat on April 10th will be an interactive Passover Seder for families. Knowing that many of us will either postpone their seder or not be able to buy traditional food, we are asking families to get creative!
- Please create your own Seder Plate and send me a picture to carolinefigiel@yahoo.com so that I can display your beautiful plates. The sky's the limit-so make it out of any materials you have on hand.
- For those who are interested in adding a "hands on" component to this seder, please email me at carolinefigiel@yahoo.com so I can email you that portion of the service.

Lessons From This Week's Torah Portion
The Eternal One spoke to Moses, saying: "Command Aaron and his sons thus: This is the ritual of the burnt offering: The burnt offering itself shall remain where it is burned upon the altar all night until morning, while the fire on the altar
is kept going on it."
