                     First Weeks of JEWL
        Welcome back, Learners!
We have had a busy and meaningful beginning to our year in JEWL!
Late September and October marked our first days of programming for all
grades, Consecration, and Simchat Torah. Thank you to all who participated
and helped us kick off another great year of lifelong learning.
