The 7,274 Mile Journey To Our Son: We Have A Graduate

We are very behind on blogging and will one day catch up. But today was a very special day for JT. He graduated pre-school. He is so excited and can not wait to go to Kindergarten.
JT switched pre-schools this February. He walked in his new school liked he had been there for years. He loved his Jewish school. He loved his teacher Morah (Hebrew for teacher) Sheryl. The talked about God and celebrated Shabbat each Friday. The kids line up with their Kippahs or Yamakas (whatever you like to call them) on and headed to the sanctuary for Shabbat. They sang songs and learned some Hebrew. He has been teaching us some really good stuff!
Grandpa Al joined JT in his celebration. We started out in the classroom and JT showed us some of his work. Then as a group, the kids said a blessing for each other. We all then went to celebrate Shabbat.
During Shabbat, the Rabbi said a special blessing to all the graduates. The kids loved it.
We went out for lunch as a family and headed back in the evening to the school (temple) for a picnic dinner and a Family Shabbat service. JT got to see his teacher and friends one last time. It was a great day.
