Shulamith sets off to see the Lady

The students of the Shulamith Middle Division set out on their first outing of the year, to the Circle Line in Manhattan.

Immediately after Tefillah last Wednesday, six buses departed and students enjoyed laughing, singing, and connecting with each other during the ride to Pier 42. Though the skies were gray, and it rained a bit, everyone enjoyed the boat ride on the Hudson, reveling in the opportunity to spend time together outside of the classroom.

As they chatted, walked around the boat, and ate lunch, the girls also took in the sights of the city skyline, including the new Freedom Tower and the Statue of Liberty.

The trip was planned to coincide with the Aseret Yemei Teshuva, giving everyone a chance to say Tashlich if they hadn’t already done so on Rosh Hashana.  Those who wished to learn more about Tashlich were able to read a brief handout about the minhagim associated with the mitzvah.

The over 200 students and almost 20 teacher chaperones agreed that the trip was a great success.
