Navi party at Shulamith

Fourth grade students of Shulamith School for Girls reached a milestone when they eached received a brand new Sefer Yehoshua last Thursday.

To begin the celebration, Lower Division Principal Joyce Yarmak spoke to the girls about their mesorah. She emphasized that as Bnot Yisrael, they are fortunate to learn about and emulate the beautiful middot and life lessons from their parents and grandparents.

The girls’ knowledge of Jewish history was evident in the song they sang about Klal Yisrael finally entering Eretz Yisrael after a 40 year delay, led by their new leader, Yehoshua, after the death of Moshe Rabeinu. The girls sang about the inner strength Yehoshua would need to do what was required of him.

In addition to the singing, the enthusiastic girls played Eretz Yisrael Bingo, and enjoyed a delicious array of cereals and cupcakes.

Of course, the divrei Torah, singing and breakfast treats were all wonderful, but the highlight of the event was when Mrs. Yarmak and Morah Mindy Futersak called upon each talmidah to receive her Navi.
