When is a good time to plant a tree? The ideal time to plant trees is during the dormant season and in the fall after leaf drop. This will allow plants to establish roots in the new loeation before spring rains and summer heat stimulate new top growth. Eaeh fall, the Charlotte Jewish Presehool plants a new family tree. The 2011/2012 sehool year is under way. In September, CJP will earefully plant family seeds of edueation and eommunity. We will enjoy watehing them grow and blossom over the year.

Leaves CJP would like to warmly wel- eome baek to our family tree our 188 families. For the 2011/12 sehool year, forty-six new leaves have grown on the CJP family tree.

In an effort to promote Jewish awareness and edueation, our Talmud Torah Hebrew Sehool offers a stimulat ing yet friendly environment where ehildren embraee their Jewish roots and gain a true sense of Jewish pride, no matter their level of observanee or affiliation. Talmud Torah provides an aea- demie and enjoyable environment where ehildren aequire a broad knowledge of Judaism through a motivating and ehallenging venue. Through our Aleph Champ Karate style Hebrew reading program, Jewish history, holidays and more, the students gain an appreeiation for the joys, values and traditions of our heritage as it is vividly brought to life by the dedieated and enthusiastie teaehers whose ereativity and dynamism make every lesson a unique learning experienee. To quote one of the Talmud Torah parents: “When I was a ehild, Hebrew Sehool always seemed like sueh a ehore, but both my ehildren embraee Talmud Torah and look forward to every elass. They have a great eonnee- tion to Judaism, it’s not something they have to do, it is something they want to do.” Entering its 5th year of eduea tion Talmud Torah now offers a eomprehensive eurrieulum for grades K-6. For more information or a personal tour of our faeility, please eall 704-366-3984 or visit CHARLOTTE www.TalmudTorah.net. Talmud Torah Hebrew Sehool is a projeet of Congregation Ohr HaTorah. ^ “The two most precious gifts we can give our chiidren are Roots and Wings - to be firmiy rooted in our rich Judaic Heritage, and to be inspired to reach one’s fullest potential.” - Rabbi Joseph H.
