Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Year 1 Chagigat HaSiddur 2015

On Wednesday 1st July, Year 1 celebrated their Chagigat HaSiddur and received their first Siddurim.  Receiving a Siddur is a turning point in a child's Jewish education. A Siddur is the book that lies at the core of our Jewish survival- it has kept alive our key beliefs, ensured the survival of  the Hebrew language and it has bonded us together as a people so we can connect as Jews with Jews throughout the world.  It is amazing to think that whatever Shul you visit in the world, the siddurim being used are virtually identical to the ones the Year 1 children received!
 
The Chagigah had a "Super Hero" theme and during the presentation we "met" a number of Siddur Superheroes who explained how we can daven and use our siddurim in the correct ways. The children spoke clearly and sang beautifully!  They are all VERY excited to use their beautiful new siddurim!
