Service attendance and recordings of blessings One of the best ways to feel confident and prepared for leading Saturday morning services/bar or bat mitzvah is by watching others lead. It is suggested that our Kinder/1st graders attend 1 service over the course of the year, 2nd grade attends 2 services, 3rd grade attends 3 services, and so on. These can be attended virtually, at other synagogues, at a classmate's bar/bat mitzvah, at one of our grade level Shabbats, etc.

Visit us on Facebook Make sure you follow us on Facebook at Har Shalom Religious School. This private group will give you up to date information about events, inclement weather closings, and more. Featured pins are the 23-24 calendar and access to Soundcloud to listen to the prayers.
Donations for our Shuk/Amazon Wish List Our first shuk (market/store) of the school year will be in November. The students earn shekels (Israeli money) and have a chance to make purchases. As you are cleaning your house, we will gladly take toys and trinkets in good condition. Same with Halloween candy! We also have an Amazon Wish List. Thank you in advance for any contributions to the shuk.
