Having deepened our relationship with Hashem over Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, we look forward to just enjoying quiet, secluded time. Our renewed closeness with Hashem spills over into our friendships with one another, as we welcome guests into our Sukkah and share in all that we have harvested. Joy comes from our good feelings of appreciation, and the chance to share our bounty with others. We move outside our permanent homes because all the protection we need comes from Above. We think about how carefully Hashem watched over our ancestors, every generation of them. We rejoice, feeling secure, knowing that we are never abandoned, never alone. We look ahead to the ending of the Chag, dancing with our Torah, knowing its study keeps our connection to Hashem ever fresh, renewed, and strong. Please enjoy special time with your children, as you celebrate their learning and growth. Chag Same’ach. Pictured are third grade students working on their mini-sukkahs. They were very proud of their hard work!

DRASHA: In reality, the first word of this week's prophetic song/parsha in encompasses the entire message of this Torah portion. Haazinu connotes paying attention, concentrating, listening attentively and absorbing words and messages that are being spoken. As one's hearing acumen begins to lessen and wane with the passage of time, background noise becomes a problem when attempting to hear what someone else is saying to you. In the clutter of traffic, conversations, and the hum of everyday urban life, we have become accustomed to not hearing what is being said to us by others and perhaps, even more importantly, by life's events. We are severely limited in our options in life and behavior by the fact that we cannot hear clearly and thus cannot discern what we should know and remember and what is to be discarded and forgotten. The metaphor for this is the example of going to a restaurant and attempting to hear the waiter announce the menu and choices. If we somehow did not hear or understand what the waiter said we will never be able to make the choices that we wish from the restaurant's menu. Well, in the broadest sense, this is true of every aspect of life. We always have many choices but most of the time we cannot hear them being annunciated to us. Moshe demands that somehow we pay attention and hear the message that he is imparting. Good hearing will eventually lead to good choices and a productive life. It is no wonder that the Talmud includes those who cannot hear in the list of people who cannot really be held responsible for their actions and behavior. This week's parsha encompasses all of Jewish history, past,

The Soille Scene
The 8th graders have decided on their science fair projects after a lengthy proposal process. They officially kicked off
their research this week at the Central Library in downtown San Diego. They will begin their testing after the break.
Ask them to tell you about their project goals. After doing some research, they headed to Belmont Park to ride the
roller coaster and practice calculating speed, distance, time, acceleration, and momentum.
Ms. Rivard's fifth grade science class found out that they can balance many drops of water on the head of a penny due
to surface tension.
The period before Yom Kippur is a time to think
about our deeds. Our main goal this year in third
grade is to be a better person. The students wrote
personal and meaningful wishes and blessings to
their friends, ALL in HEBREW!!!
Well done to all the third graders!!! It was a pleas-
ure to witness this process and to see their hearts
of gold shine bright!
