BECOMING A MENSCH
For Families with Children in 4th and 5th Grade
When we embarrass someone else, we damage their self-esteem, their confidence, their pride, or even their willingness to take risks.  How do we teach our children not to embarrass others intentionally, and to be more aware as to when their actions might unintentionally hurt others? How do we also teach our children how to mitigate self- shame and being embarrassed about themselves?  On Saturday, January 24 at 10am we will study in parent-child pairs the Virtue of Not Embarrassing: Lo Levayesh.    Also, save the date for other upcoming learning sessions:
Saturday, February 28, Saturday, April 4, and Saturday, May 2.   All are welcome, so please feel free to forward this email to friends.  RSVP or questions: LKur...@AnscheChesed.org.
 
PROJECT ALIYAH TEFILLIN WORKSHOP
Sunday, January 25, 2009
11am at Ansche Chesed
Open to everyone
All you ever wanted to know about tefillin (what they are, how you use them, and so much more)!  You will be able to purchase tefillin at the event.
For more information, contact Dena Wachtel at DWachtel@AnscheChesed.org.

 
TALLIT DESIGNING
Under the guidance of Artist, Sarah Jacobs, you will have the opportunity to
create your own beautiful and meaningful Tallit.  This is something you will
use for many years to come.
The program will consist of a mandatory opening session and three workshop
sessions.  It is open to the entire congregation and is highly suggested for
pre-B'nei Mitzvah students.
The opening program will be held on:
Sunday, February 1 from 10-11:30AM at Ansche Chesed.
At this session participants will learn about the tallit, its history and
important meanings.  After engaging in text study, you will choose a
meaningful text and fabric for the tallit.
Costs will vary, but a total cost of $100-$200 should be expected.
For more information, contact Dena Wachtel by emailing
DWac...@AnscheChesed.org or calling 2120865-0600 ext. 215.
