The last day of AARC Beit Sefer/Religious School was spent out at Carole Caplan’s land just outside Ann Arbor. May 15 was a chilly, beautiful day, captured by parents Nancy Meadow and Karin Ahbel-Rappe.

Parents spent time with their kids.

We thanked Madrichot/teaching assistants for their work with the students all year.

and we thanked our teachers — and we thanked our teachers for their generosity of spirit, their appreciation of our kids, their skill at communicating love of Judaism and the Jewish people and helping our kids grow into active and creative participation in the commuity. Jeremy was already in Israel so couldn’t be in the picture, but was in our hearts.

We celebrated birthdays, of Isaac

and Molly

We made a bonfire and roasted potatos and s'mores. — We made a bonfire and roasted potatos and s’mores.

And we acted silly as can be.

Carole, thank you so much for opening your farm to the Beit Sefer this year!
