We were so happy to welcome all the children back to school this week, and were over-whelmed with all the beautiful notes parents sent to school with their children. On behalf of the teachers, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for taking the time to acknowledge all the work the teachers put into planning your children’s daily activities. Their inter-active lessons, creative projects, excitement about the Chagim, and true love for the children, in-fuse our children with love and excitement for the Chagim, Yiddishkeit and all of Hashem’s Mitz-

vot. In this week’s newsletter I would like to share with you some of the letters we received.

Dear Morah,

We are so proud of Michael! This Pesach he went through his Haggadah and knew every single part of the Seder, the keara, the makot and so much more! He sang the Ma Nishtanah beautifully, followed along with his Haggadah and participated with such joy! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for instilling such love of Pe-sach in Michael. Our nachat is overflowing!!

Sincerely,

Yoni and Tzivi Frommer Dear Morahs,

Shaya really impressed us with the depth and breadth of

his knowledge and mastery of all the things he learned

about Pesach! Not only did he recite the Ma Nishtana

beautifully, he also announced the Simanim for us

throughout the Seder. He went to shul and got to wash

the Kohanim’s hands for Birkat Kohanim because he is a

Levi. Shaya behaved and helped throughout Pesach.

We are so proud! Lots of Nachas!

Mommy H.

Dear Morot,

We cannot tell you how proud we are of how much Ari knew during the Seder. He fol-lowed along so beautifully the entire time. All of his projects are so beautiful and all our guests were so impressed as well. Thank you for all of your hard work! It really paid off beautifully! Yasher Koach!

Dear Morahs,

What a beautiful Pesach this year was!! With

all the gorgeous projects Nechami brought

home and all the amazing things she knew

about the Chag,. It made it so enjoyable and

exciting . We truly enjoyed seeing and listen-

ing to everything she was taught.

Nechami was a great helper and helped

Mommy before and on Pesach with all the

preparations!

Thank you so much for all the hard work!!

Nechami’s Mom & Dad

Dear Morahs,

Chaim was such a Mitzvah boy! The entire Pe-sach he was amazing and doing non-stop Mitz-vot. Chaim said the Ma Nishtana perfectly both nights! He knew all about the Seder and knew exactly what we needed to do at each part! We were at Chaim’s cousins and he shared and played so nicely the entire time, and he always made sure to help clean up! We are so proud! Mommy Greenstein

Dear Morahs,

Gavriel said the Ma Nishtana so nicely and so loud. He also used his Hagaddah and all of

the Seder projects he made in school. He sang Dayeinu so loud and had so much fun with

his cousins. He stayed up for both Seders.

Thank you Morahs for all the hard work you put in. It really showed! The Zimmermans

Dear Morahs,

Over Pesach Talia did so many Mitzvot. Thank you for helping Talia make such useful and beautiful projects and a Hagaddah. Talia told us stories, showed us pic-tures, sang songs and much more! We are so proud of her and so grateful to you for all of your hard work.

Dear Morahs,

We were so proud of Gila this Pesach! Her

beautiful pillow and Afikoman holder

added so much to our Seder table. We

were so impressed with her knowledge

about Pesach and her Hagaddah! She

followed along beautifully and was so ex-

cited to move her picture to each new

part of the Seder.

Her whole family got so much nachas

from her and we are so thankful that she

has such wonderful Morot!

Thank you!

Barry & Yisha Schwartz

Dear Morahs,

Gabe behaved beautifully at the Se-der. He said the Ma Nishtana loud and clear and followed along for a big part of the Seder. Everybody loved his Hagaddah! All the props he made at school and the songs really en-hanced our Yom Tov!

Gabe’s Mommy & Daddy

Dear Morah,

We were so proud of Noam Zev over Pesach! He knew so much! He helped clean, search for Cha-metz, burn the chametz and sang “Kadesh Urchatz” loudly and clearly! He also said Ma Nishtana with his “paddles” so confidently! He used his Seder board to follow along. We really enjoyed his stories about Yetziat Mitzrayim, and he really enjoyed telling us. He was a Pesach super star!! The Leisers

Dear Morahs,

Akiva did so many Mitzvot over Pesach vacation! He was a big helper before Pesach started– he cleaned his toys and helped to make lots of yummy food, including Charoset. Akiva was a star at the Sedarim. He knew what to do at each part and did a great job singing the Ma Nishtana-he even handed out his signs for everyone to hold up at the right time.

Thank you for all of your hard work in preparing him for this spe-cial Chag. Miriyam and Don-E Benovitz
