Family Fun

Family Fun was a sunny day in our back lot where our youngest friends got together to talk to local firefighters from the Pittsburgh Fire Department and explore a fire truck! Members made gratitude cards for PFD, enjoyed some balloon twisting, created rice design crafts, and, of course, loved getting to be together for a music circle and story time. Elmo also made an appearance and everyone got to snap some polaroids to make lasting memories! We loved getting to celebrate Emerson M.’s birthday and hang with our Junior Friends at Family Fun. Can’t wait for the next one in June!

FOTT Art Night

FOTT members showed their creative sides at FOTT Art Night on Sunday. We made collages with geometric shapes: Chet S. made a 3D one representing his love of strings; Sara D’s collage showed her love of red (and she proudly posed with it after we hung it up); and Josh W. created movement in his collage with a football appearing to fly across the Steelers logo. Thanks to everyone for bringing your unique styles!

On Thursday, instructors Katie, Kaelyn, and Hana came from Movement Exchange at Pitt to teach our members some moves! Later, Mariel W. led us in a Friendship Circle cheer. Finally, we learned more choreography to Red by Taylor Swift. Thanks to everyone who made it a fun night!

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY We’ve all received unsolicited advice, right? And we’ve all responded by half-listening, when really, we’re not. It’s like our mind forms an instant emotional blockade: “You have no idea what it’s like to be me, and who are you to tell me how to do what I do?” This week’s Parsha (Yitro) contains… Read More
