Machar: the Washington Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism

Well, as we all anticipated - our plans for Family Community Service Day must be cancelled for tomorrow (February 7, 2010).

 All activities, including visiting resident homes and the bowling at Strike Bethesda are cancelled.  We are hoping that we can arrange for make-up snow days at JPDS, and I will do everything that I can to re-schedule the community service opportunities later during the school year.  Thank you all so much for volunteering.  We will let you know of any make up days as soon as we arrange them with JPDS.

How to have a Secular Humanistic Judaism Snow Day 

I am attaching and listing a variety of activities that the Jewish community educators have sent out to all principals - ideas for Jewish activities while you are playing in the snow or house bound.  I hope that you are interested in tackling some of these sites with your kids.  The  Snow Day Lesson Plan (112.73 kB)(click to view or download) is for this week's torah portion, and although it is coming from a Reform congregation, I thought that you might find it interesting.  Also,   It Could be Worse (10.84 kB)is a great story for this weekend!!

 But wait! There's more!...(Click on "Read More")
