Our beloved annual fall tradition made a comeback this year. We were thrilled that our grandparents and special friends could join us in the classrooms and for a special Kabbalat Shabbat.
For all who attended, we hope that you enjoyed being part of our experience at The Rashi School through educational lessons and joining us in meaningful Shabbat blessings with your student(s).
If you were not able to attend we hope you’ll visit Rashi in the future for a Kabbalat Shabbat or attend Generations Day next year.
