Message from Anne.... Our Israeli superhero program continues each week.  We have had a visitor each week and there will be someone new every Sunday for the rest of the year.  At  Etz Chaim the character comes out of our "Delet m'Yisarel", door from Israel.  At Westlake the guest just enters the pod where all of the children are sitting.  He/she shmoozes with either Rabbi Bob or Rabbi Cosnowsky, depending on the location.  To see pictures of the heroes,  click on time machine on the left. I encourage you to regularly check the website for updates from the teachers.  Most of them are posting their assignments so your child should never get behind.  If you have any questions, please let me know.
