Congregation Sinai -- B'nai Mitzvah

Kita Vav

    What We Did -- 08 June

    • Took final quiz (results will be in report cards)
    • Passed/reviewed many haftarah trope groups, some Torah Service prayers (see scoreboards, below)

    Homework -- forever

    • Remember the Torah Service prayers, and their meanings/purpose
    • Remember the Torah and Haftarah trope
    • Remember to have fun with the bnai mitzvah preparation process -- and to practice early and often (it's more fun, and less stressful, that way)
