| From
the desk of Rabbi Perry Tirschwell
A large number of guest speakers and parent programs are planned
for the coming weeks. You are invited to join us for Rabbi Rakefet's
presentation on January 10, which will no doubt be both entertaining
and informative. This week and next are relatively quiet on the
sports front, due to our competitors in the FHSAA league being on
vacation. The notable exception is this Saturday night's game
against Hebrew Academy (see sidebar on right).
