Adar Spirit at SKA
I
t’s not hard to tell that the month of Adar has arrived – just walk around the hallways at SKA! Rosh Chodesh Adar Aleph was welcomed in true SKA style on Tuesday, February 1, when the Power 36 period, dedicated to extracurricular activities, was filled with vibrant Jewish music, dynamic dancing, and delicious cupcakes and hamantaschen. Purim was definitely in the air! The Rosh Chodesh celebration was particularly joyous as the girls enjoyed the festivities, many of them clad in eye-catching clothing. Antic-
ipating the upcoming yom tov, the ruach in the auditorium was truly effervescent. Rosh Chodesh Adar Aleph at SKA was sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Duvi and Shira Greenberger l’ilui nishmat Menashe ben Ezriel Yehudah, a”h.

Yeshiva Week at Gural JCC
T
he Marion and Aaron Gural JCC hosted its first Yeshiva Week Program for children in the greater Five Towns community last week. The program was open to boys and girls in kindergarten through sixth grade and ran for four days during the yeshiva break. Families could sign their children up for one, two, three or all four days. The program included lunch, snacks and one day was a trip to an indoor children’s play arena where we had the entire facility to ourselves. This initial program welcomed between sixteen and twenty children each day, and many were with us for the full program. The program offered separate boys’ and girls’ activities, a Mad Science show, the trip, sports, arts and crafts, and lots of games. It was a great way for families who were working, or families who did not go away, to send their children to a quality, fun and engaging program. The JCC plans to offer future youth programming like this. The children had a terrific time, and the JCC was thrilled to be able to provide this wonderful opportunity to our community.
