Birthday's are not just for receiving gifts...at Gan we GIVE!

Birthdays are for Giving!

This week we celebrated 2 birthdays on the same day! Reena & Jacob both turned 5!

At the birthday we spoke about the fact that each year, when we are another year older, our neshama (soul) has the strength to do MORE MITZVOT ! 

One of the Jewish birthday customs is to enjoy eating a  new fruit after saying the special "Shehechiyanu" blessing.
Thank you Tracy for bringing Persimmons!

Another birthday tradition is to give extra Tzedakah (Charity)

In honor of Reena's birthday the Hettena family donated a beautiful play food and Kitchen supplies set. 

The children all enjoyed playing with the new kitchen supplies for our classroom!

Thank you to the Kryger family for ordering a new "Shabbat Set" for our classroom! We look forward to enjoying it each week as part of our Shabbat Party!
