A day of Unity!


The excitement was in the air as the children from Chabad Hebrew School of Greenwich, CT. filed into the building. These were faces we had never seen before, yet through the several activities we did together, we realized that we actually had so much in common. We are all kids around the same age. We are all Jewish. We all go to Chabad Hebrew School!

 We divided into two teams, with each side having kids from Franklin Lakes and Greenwich. We pulled and pulled out until we were done, but Rabbi Kaplan reminded us that those who worked together and had fun are the real winners. 

 Another activity we thoroughly enjoyed was a people hunt. We had to find different people from the other school who could sign for us! We looked for someone with the same birthday month as us, someone with the name Nicole, and someone with the same car as us. We realized just how many similarities we have!


It was so special to meet many new Jewish kids and get to interact with them.
Rabbi Kaplan explained that all Jews are one family. Whether you find yourself in Alaska, Australia, or Italy, you will find a Chabad Jewish Center and you can feel at home. 
"Am Yisrael Chai!"
