Mazal tov to our first graders on their outstanding performance at their Chagigat haSiddur. This celebration is a culmination of the work our class has been doing since the beginning of the year, namely learning to read and daven and understanding the origin of the tefillot and the content of the siddur. Out students have reached an important milestone in their chinuch. Just as we applaud each stage of a child’s physical development, so too must we recognize the essential academic and spiritual achievement of being able to read Hebrew and daven from a siddur. We are proud that the children were able to master this difficult skill. As teachers of Kittah Alef, we feel privileged to have a part in this stage of the children's chinuch, a stage which is
an essential foundation on which the first structure of limudei kodesh will be built. Mazal tov to the parents, thank you for being partners with us to bring them to this point.
