Blogroll | Congregation Darchei Noam

A morning of unsettled weather didn’t faze our intrepid and hard-working volunteers, and by lunchtime on October 5, Darchei Noam’s sukkah was up and ready for kids, parents, and Hebrew School staff to get in there and start decorating!

Children and parents spent about an hour creating wonderful and beautiful decorations – from construction-paper chains to hanging gourds -- to make our sukkah as inviting and colourful as possible, in keeping with the custom of hiddur mitzvot (“adorning the mitzvot”). While enjoying a pizza lunch, students also had the opportunity to shake the lulav and smell the etrog. Thanks to everyone’s enthusiastic participation, we have a sukkah we can be proud of, and we invite you visit our sukkah and see it for yourself!

Darchei Noam’s annual sukkah-decorating party is just one of the many ways our congregation and our Hebrew School come together to celebrate Jewish life throughout the year.

Our Hebrew School provides a welcoming and supportive environment for children to learn what it means to be a member of the Jewish community. With a new and engaging curriculum, we teach children from JK to Grade 6

•    What they need to know about Judaism, from a Reconstructionist perspective

•    Key skills in written and spoken Hebrew

•    A love of Jewish song and prayer

We welcome your children, your grandchildren, and your friends’ and neighbours’ children. The school year is just beginning, and membership is not required! For more information, please contact Jess Waltman at 416-638-4783, ext. 28.
