Welcome to the brand new 2016-17 school year! Woot woot! Today, we had a lot of fun getting to know each other, and learning our names. The students and their parents all gathered in the Social Hall for a beginning of the year pancake breakfast (and to collect their cool new JQuest t-shirts!) Erin and Alyssa, who will be co-teaching on Sundays, introduced themselves, and Erin gave a quick overview of what Shira will be doing over the next couple of weeks. Then, the students shared their own interests and personalities by creating personal name plates and participating in a name game. Our TA's for each session, Nathan and Daniel, participated in the fun, helping the students come up with fun ways to remember everyone's names. In Tefillah, Cantor Korn and Rabbis Greninger, Miller, Shanks and Levine (how lucky are we to have so many awesome clergy members!) led us all in prayer, which was topped off with a singalong featuring a JQuest-i-cized version of Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling." Fun was had by all! I can't wait to see everyone on Tuesday and Wednesday! Until then, think about this question: "What makes Jewish Music Jewish?"
