Foundation School

Today, we began a new tradition at Foundation School! Every other week, we will be receiving tubs of bread dough from local bakery Dana's Breads. Each child will shape their own challah and then we will bake them and send them home.

Thank you to Rabbi Eve Posen for sponsoring the first week of challah! For $18, you can sponsor the challah for a class for a week (https://members.nevehshalom.org/form/foundation-school-challah-sponsorship.html).

Shabbat Shalom!

Shana Tova! Morah Etti Segal and Morah Candace delivered New Year cards to residents at Cedar Sinai Park. These cards were lovingly crafted by Foundation School kids ❤️.

Along the way, we even met a graduate of Foundation School from 1970! What an amazing legacy our preschool has.

Shabbat shalom!

Shabbat shalom from our little Kehillah to yours 💙 Here, PreK students “play Shabbat” before celebrating the real thing.

Happy birthday Rabbi Eve Posen!! We celebrated by singing to you and then giving you a great big group hug. We love you!

Foundation School students celebrated Lag B’Omer today! We flattened and stretched the dough to make pita and then we cooked it over a fire. We also enjoyed popsicles, songs, and stories!

We are so proud of our wonderful Morah Etti! 😍
