12School Shmooze... by Alicia Zahn, Religious School Director
We made it through what I hope will be the only year known as The Year of the Masking! We were so grateful to
see smiling eyes and, when we were outside, actual smiles! This year could have been all about what we have lost,
but instead, everyone stepped up and made this year one of getting back together. Teachers were incredibly flexible
as they welcomed students who were each coming from their own Pandemic experiences and so filling the class with
diverse academic, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Parents were supportive and made sure to keep their children
home at any hint of a cough. Students saw everything with fresh eyes as they prayed and played together. We all
learned that the joys of Judaism can’t be masked!
I hope everyone will join us as we celebrate our Confirmands who lead Shavuot services on Sunday June 5,
2022. This small but mighty group has been learning with Rabbi Reem this year. Topics such as midrash, leadership,
and lessons from the Book of Ruth were all explored. They have also been learning the service and ritual aspects of
their Confirmation from Morah Shari Spark. This will be a celebration of their many years at our religious school,
but it will not be the end of their studies. We are looking forward to welcoming these four outstanding students to
Shalshelet next year!
As we begin summer, please keep the spirit of Judaism alive in your homes! Ask your children to sing the new
prayers they have learned this year. Participate in doing mitzvot together as a family (example: come work on our shul
garden!) Plan a trip to Israel (even if it is virtual.) Enjoy a leisurely Shabbat meal together and/or come to a Shabbat
service at your Beth El home. Go outside and appreciate the amazing world HaShem has made and work together on
making it even better! We look forward to celebrating everyone’s growth when we welcome you back in September!
