This week, Kitah Gimel celebrated a special milestone: the beginning of learning Sh’moneh Esrei! To mark the occasion, the girls dressed in white shirts and Shabbos shoes and set off on a “royal trip.” Using their imagination, they journeyed through the school as if entering a grand palace, making their way into the throne room and standing before the King. They spoke about how each step of davening brings us closer to Hashem, until Sh’moneh Esrei, when we are standing directly before Him.
To help bring the lesson to life, the class even tried calling the White House, only to find that the president was too busy to take their call. The girls learned an unforgettable message: While a ruler of flesh and blood may not be available, Hashem, the King of the entire world, is always waiting to hear our t’filos. This inspiring “trip” left Kitah Gimel eager and excited to begin exploring the meaning and power of Sh’moneh Esrei.
