It was a cold rainy morning, but a little rain didn’t keep these grand parents and special loved ones away from their little ones, ages one to five. Over 120 grandparents attended classroom activities, a special Shabbat, and enjoyed a snack in the classroom. The chil dren’s excitement was palpable. Maya Liesman, center, with her great-grand- parents. Grandparents came from near and far. Mia Lederer was thrilled to host her grandma from Texas. Ben and Kate Blau hosted visits from both their grandma from NJ and their grandparents who live in Fort Mill, SC. Some grandparents, like Barbara Kroll, played double duty with two CJP grandsons, cousins Spencer Silverman and Logan Kroll. Jonah and Rachael Mae Rubin’s grandparents came back from Florida early to attend. Other children had moms and dads pop into the classroom to share the special festivities. Susan Jacobs of Beth El Hebrew School filled in for two children’s grandparents - thank you, Susan. In the classroom, children enjoyed different activities. Younger children made crafts and cards to send to out-of-town grandparents. Some older children made pictures describing their favorite activities with grandpar ents and explained them to the class, while others, like Haley Blanchard’s fours, enjoyed com munal cooking - the aroma of homemade matzah ball soup waft ed out of her classroom and down the hall. The highlight of this great day was a special Shabbat for each age level held in Sam Lemer Center for Cultural Arts. Shoshi Streiffer led the children and their grandparents in prayer and song. Maya Leisman’s great-grandpar- ents were honored for their 58th wedding anniversary. Passing Jewish traditions from one generation to the next filled all who could attend with warmth and joy.
