Dear Parents,

Today your first grader learned about different types of Jewish objects.  They are bringing home a booklet called Jewish Symbols which has many fun activities to complete.  We encourage each of the students to search through their own homes for Jewish objects.  We also made a Jewish object for your home, a mizrach.  A mizrach is a wall hanging decorated with Jewish objects.  You are to hang it on an Eastern Wall in your home to remind you that Israel is toward the East.

Shalom,
