Graffiti I can get behind – and a contest!

posted by Homeshuling

It was a wet sukkot this year, and we didn’t have the chance to invite our friends to join us in decorating the walls. But we managed one good day of painting:

Here’s Ella writing on the walls of the sukkah. Can you guess what it says?

I’ll donate $10 to the tzedakah of your choice for the first person to get it right. Leave a comment with the answer (not in personal spelling) and your preferred tzedakah.

PS – It’s the second day of Cheshvan, and my second blog post of the month…..think I can keep it up?

Teaching the Four Questions to young children
One of the greatest privileges of being a kindergarten teacher in a Jewish day school is having the opportunity to teach children to recite the four questions.

Guess what's Kosher for Passover (this will change your life.)

Why, “beautiful season”, of course! And it looks like it was, despite the winds and rain.

I was going to guess “beautiful design” but “season” works better.

Wonderful! Given that it’s sort of sukkot tzedakah, how about Safe Passage (http://www.safepass.org)? Do you get new “walls” each year?

yes, most years, we get “new” walls (sheets from good will, this year.) since we didn’t really cover them this year, i imagine we’ll use them again.
