  1. This open house is unfortunately scheduled for one of the nights of Rosh Hashana. Will it be taped/archived? I’m so sorry to have to miss the live event. I’m sure I’m not the only teacher who feels this way.

    1. Hi Evie – Unfortunately, due to the spread-out and casual nature of the event, it won’t be taped. But we will post a packet of materials here following the open house so that you will have the handouts.
