Monday April 11th our Hebrew School Students learned to make Matzah, just in time for Passover.

In addition to the Beth Israel Facebook page already mentioned – which can be found by clicking here – David Rosen also has kindly pointed out a Facebook group for high school students currently enrolled in the religious school. Said group can be found here: Beth Israel The West Temple HS.
