Many of us are home each and every long Shabbat - and many children who are used to attending camp are home as well. To add some structure and Torah study to our Shabbatot, I invite you to join our new Summer Family Mishna Club. Each week, you will receive (via e-mail or available for pickup at CBAJ) a study guide with 4 Mishnayot from Tractate Rosh Hashanah, in Hebrew and English, along with a few guiding questions to help you study each Mishna (Approximately 30-40 minutes of learning each Shabbat). Together with your household, study the Mishnayot- and we will all complete Tractate Rosh Hashanah before the High Holy Days! Participating households will be invited to a small, socially distant Siyum Celebration before Rosh Hashanah to mark the special occasion of completing the Masechet.
Especially while we are at home and have less structure to our leisure time, it is incumbant upon us to be kove'ah itim la-Torah, set aside times for Torah Study, to continue our learning and to instill the value of Torah study in our youth. Please sign up and join the learning!
