New Email Address for the Education Office

You may have noticed that the Temple Beth Or web site has had a little sprucing up over the past few weeks. Please mark your address books that messages to the education office should now be addressed to education [at] templebethor [dot] com. (Please note that to slow down those pesky spammers who scan web sites for e-mail addresses that we've purposely left out the normal punctuation you'd see in an e-mail address.) Thank you!

Spotlight on Grade 4

The students in 4th grade are continuing their life cycle study by discussing death and dying as part of the cycle of life. They will learn about the mourning process, the preparation and burial rites, and consoling the bereaved. Students will take home with them packets that they will share with their family to talk about death, as well as creating an ethical will.
