PURIM DOESN’T END 6:48 PM March 30, 2019 כ“ב רדא ב ‘עשת“ט ינימש תשרפ  April 16– April 28 - Pesach break  April 29– regular classes resume Dear Parents, I hope everyone had a wonderful and meaningful Purim. It was so nice to see all the ךילרעדנק ערעייטin their costumes. You should continue to see much Nachas from them. The Gemara writes in Megillah on ׳ה ףד that the chachomim originally desired that Purim be a Yom Tov like other םיבוט םימי, including an הכאלמ רוסיא. However, אל הכאלמוהיילע וליבק, the people did not accept upon themselves to refrain from work. The תמא תפש explains this refusal by noting that Yom Tov is a time when Hashem affords us the opportunity to take a break from the daily grind of everyday life. Instead, we use the day to infuse ourselves with השודק and תוינחור and to recharge our spiritual batteries. After the Yom Tov completes, we make הלדבה, separating us from that utopia of Yom Tov, reenergized and recharged with our הנומא and ןוחטב to face the לוחה ימי. The Yom Tov of Purim, writes the Sfas Emes, is a celebration of a series of events where Hashem demonstrated His presence from within the routine of the mundane. He showed how behind the scenes He is guiding and leading Klal Yisrael. This Yom Tov therefore is different from the others. Its lesson is to demonstrate Hashem’s presence in our daily existence. There is thus no need for an הכאלמ רוסיא, nor for Havdalah. We never separate from the lesson of Purim. It stays with us at all times. Have a תבש טוג! Rabbi Ochs The bulletin is sponsored by:  The Torah Academy 37th Anniversary Gala was a beautiful affair. A hearty yosher koach goes to the dedicated committee who spent hours above and beyond the normal limits. Thank to the many volunteers who took care of so many important jobs big and little. Our success was due to everyone's effort.  Purim spirit was in the air in both buildings during Purim week. The boys, girls, and preschool, all had Purim carnivals with exciting booths and prizes. The boys had a magic show in the afternoon. The costumes worn by the children ran the gamut from purchased to creative. Fun was had by all.  As part of the Understanding Our Differences program funded by the Ruderman Family Foundation, Gary Alpert of Gateways presented a program to 4G on the issue of learning disabilities. The session was geared at creating a better understanding of learning disabilities and demonstrating how our brains receive and process information differently. The students learned about the challenges of word retrieval, memory, and writing. Mrs. Glaser, the guest speaker, told about what it was like growing up with dyslexia. Thank you to our parent volunteers: Mrs. Tamar Faintuch and Mrs. Toba Wolf. Thank you Mrs. Sandperl.  Also as part of Understanding Our Differences program, there was a presentation to 5B about chronic diseases specifically diabetes and hemophilia. Besides learning about these conditions, including the balancing needed for everyone between insulin, exercise and food, it was very powerful for 5B to learn about these from presenters close to their ages. A 4th grader with Type 1 diabetes and a 9th grader with Type A hemophilia shared their experience. Thank you to Gary Alpert for facilitating this program.  5G went on a tour of the State House as part of the conclusion of their study of government and civics unit. Thank you Mr. Michael Levin for chaperoning. Thank you Mrs. Thompson for making the arrangements.  בוט לזמ to 6G for finishing ךתולעהב תשרפ. They celebrated with ice cream bars and הרות ירבד by Bracha Fraida Solomon and Leah Rosengard. Thank you Miss Cheli Fireman.  1B completed their handwriting book and the first book of Singapore Math. Keep up the great work! Thank you Ms. Faherty.  2B started their unit on telling time, kicking it off with a fun project making paper clocks. Thank you Ms. Gould.  3B completed their unit on the Revolutionary War, culminating with a project making dioramas. Thank you Mrs. Johnson.  4B had fun playing the game Roulette as part of their unit on probability. Thank you Rabbi Frager.
