There were tears of pride in mothers’ eyes as they listened to their second grade daughters explaining and singing about the different brachos in Shemona Esray. The girls celebrated this momentous milestone with a beautiful performance and slideshow. After the performance the girls were able to show their mothers the beautiful Shemona Esray binders they have been working on. The girls then decorated beautiful cards describing each of the brachos in Shemona Esray to keep as a bookmark in their siddurim. What a beautiful way to mark their introduction to this higher level of tefillah.
