PACHIM KETANIM FROM RABBI YUDIN: IN HONOR OF PARSHAT CHOL HAMOED SUKKOT AND KOHELES
The Gemara Shabbos (30:B) teaches that our Rabbis were not certain whether to include Koheles among the holy writings, as part of Tanach, as there are many contradictions within the book. What saved the day was the penultimate verse by the wisest of men declaring that fearing G-d and keeping his mitzvos is the essences of life. Shlomo teaches us that even one like himself who could have everything is happiest when they come to the realization that they don't need everything. Similarly, the wisest of man teaches us that true wisdom is to know that you don't know.
Wishing everyone a good Shabbos and really wish you were here.

NURSERY SCHOOL NEWS
In conjunction with our science curriculum, the children are learning about sun light. We visited the shul sukkah to see how the light comes through the schach. The children all got a chance to hold the luluv and etrog and made beautiful decorations with their pictures for their family sukkot. They also decorated our Shomrei Torah Sukkah, so stop by to take a look. The children are excited to dance with the Torahs on Simchat Torah and deco-rated their own flags. There is no formal Nursery School program for Suk-kot but many of our children will be using our day care coverage throughout the week. They will be enjoying Hebrew with Morah Etty, arts and crafts, stories, indoor and outdoor fun and lots more!! Shabbat Shalom and chag sameach!
