Beit Sefer at BHC just finished a wonderful fall season. Harper Champney, Ada Cowan, Abigail Freidman, and Yonah Friedman met with their teachers, Shira Linowes and Rachael Moss Sunday mornings for the past few months. Parents and grandparents were on hand to assist.

The students learned and improved Hebrew language skills and beginning taamei hamikra (chanting the Torah) skills. They studied weekly Torah portions and worked on a long-term craft project on the Creation Story. Each session included a brief morning service and blessings for various snacks.
Highlights of the fall season were visits from Professor Martin Kessel who shared stories of Israel including the exciting story of the day the Western Wall (Hakotel) was opened in Jerusalem after the reunification of the city in 1967. The story was brought to life with pictures of the event which he attended with two of his children who, at that time, were the same ages as our BHC beit sefer kids.
