Pesach with our Rishonim

It wouldn't be a Jewish holiday without a celebration with Lior and Noga! Today, during lunch Lior and Noga made all of the students an Israeli Pesach treat of a chocolate spread and matzo sandwich...mmmmmm :)  They also poured each student a class of grape juice in honor of the Seder and everyone toasted to Israel in unison!
Chag Sameach!

Love,
Your Rishonim, Lior and Noga

Grandparents and Special Guests Passover Seder

Today and yesterday we were joined by our grandparents for a very special model seder.  The HAMC auditorium was overflowing with students, friends and family as we retold the story of Passover through blessings and song.  We recited the bracha on the yom tov candles, said kiddush on the grape juice, dipped the karpas in saltwater, broke the Matzah and ate the delicious charoset.  At the ECC Seder on Tuesday, our little ones took the stage and performed some of their favorite Passover songs, including "The Frog Song" and "Let My People Go".  At the K-8 Seder, our students sang with Moreh Moshe and stormed the entire school to locate the afikomen! In addition to grandparents and special guests, the K-8 Seder also hosted our wonderful friends from Lester Housing.

Both seders were beautiful and it got us very excited for the real thing later in the week!
Chag Kasher V'Sameach!


  

Do You Know the Matzah Man?

Pesach is around the corner and we are already preparing for it here at the HAMC! This week, a Rabbi from a local Matzah factory came to our school and converted our gym into a matzah kitchen.  Our ECC through 1st graders mixed the dough with flour and and water, flattened out the dough with rolling pins, and sang lots of Pesach songs to "help" the matzah bake properly :)  Adorned in little chef hats, our little ones became matzah experts!

The ECC Model Seder!

Our Early Childhood Center's model seder was quite the treat. We had visitors from Lester Housing, ate matzo and drank juice, sang for Eliyahu, and more! Enjoy the video and photos of a truly meaningful treat.

A Model Seder Experience!

Today at HAMC, we were busy prepping our students for Passover with a model seder. Our kindergarten through eighth-grade students got together for a seder, singing, and even searched far and wide across the school for the afikomen!
