There has been much success in these five years, much of which we should be proud. And we have great plans for the future. But let's pause for a moment. Elul is the time in our calendars when we pause; we pause so that we can spiritually prepare ourselves for the year ahead. As we enter our fifth year, we paused and decided that we wished to find a better way to honor our namesake. Starting this September, we will be calling our religious school, our pre-K through Twelfth grade religious education program, the Meyer Kranzberg Learning Center. This new name, and new logo, allows us to show proper Kavod, honor, to Meyer Kranzberg, the man for whom our school is named.
Not only will this change allow us to properly remember Meyer Kranzberg, but it will also help clear up some confusion we inadverently created calling religious school Pardes while at the same time referring to our educational umbrella, or in this case our educational orchard, Pardes. Pardes is now the orchard for Jewish living and learning at Congregational B'nai Amoona. Within the Pardes orchard is the Early Childhood Center, The Alfred Fleshman Summer Camps, our Youth Department, Holiday and Family Education, and the Meyer Kranzberg Learning Center.
We have a beautiful orchard of learning growing at B'nai Amoona.
