Beth Sholom Early Childhood Center

Fall invites us to discover the natural world through our own curiosities. As we walk outside together, we may notice the crunch of leaves under our feet, the scent of the fresh fall air, or the sound of acorns falling. Perhaps we’ll wonder where the squirrels are going, or what happens to the leaves as they change color. By using our senses and following our questions, we can explore autumn and the stories nature is telling all around us.

Over the past week, some of our children have been exploring the first two parshiot  (Torah portions) — Beresheit  and Noach . Through stories, discussions, and creative activities, the children have been learning about the wonders of creation , the magic of rainbows , the importance of Shabbat , and the idea of pairs  as seen in the story of Noah’s Ark. It’s been a beautiful opportunity for the students to connect with these foundational Torah stories and discover the values

As Simchat Torah is about to be celebrated, our children joyfully mark the occasion by creating colorful flags and parading throught the school. A love of the torah can be felt everywhere. At the same time, there is profound gratitude and relief among everyone as we celebrate the release of the hostages—a moment of deep emotional significance and hope. Am Yisrael Chai!
