While we missed seeing you at Noar for the past couple of weeks, it was so nice to see so many of you over the High Holy Days. We are excited to get back to some consistent Sundays at Noar beginning this week. This Noar session falls during the holiday of Sukkot. Students will learn about the holiday in both their classrooms and the Temple Sinai Sukkah throughout the morning.
