First Day of FRS
2020-09-13
Due to COVID-19 and the unpredictability of the situation in the future, FRS will remain virtual throughout the entire school year beginning on September 13, 2020. We have been reimagining FRS based on Jewish values, medical advice, and conversations with our Reopening Taskforce, clergy, Parent Committee, and Board of Directors. While FRS Virtual School will look different from what we are used to, we are still dedicated to ensuring the content of our curriculum is taught in an engaging and relevant way. We have created a supportive online community and learning has been steady and consistent. Please register for FRS at: https://campscui.active.com/orgs/HerzlNerTamid#/selectSessions/2829404

Children's Flashlight Videos Due
2020-09-15
This year’s High Holiday services will look a little different from others; although things will be virtual, we do not want to leave out a key HNT tradition: the end of Yom Kippur Flashlight Parade!

We would like families to create a short video of themselves that we will use to produce a “virtual parade” which will be shown at the end of Yom Kippur.

Here is how you can participate:​​​​​​​

Create a short video (no more than 10-15 seconds) of kids holding a flashlight, a Havdalah candle or some other light source walking around the house, down the stairs, or some other part of your home.
You can use your phone to create the video (please record landscape – turn your phone to the side)
If you can, create the video in the dark (or as dark as will still show the kids) with the light shining.
Email the video to Audrey Covner: audcov@msn.com no later than September 15
