This year, our application season is beginning earlier than in the past and applications are now open! New students may apply by clicking HERE. Current students do not need to confirm their re-enrollment at this time; their spots will be held until our reverification process later in the year.

While applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, we anticipate that the Toddler class will fill quickly and there are a limited number of spots in Latchkey.

Please reach out with any questions. We’re excited to welcome new students to Farber! Spread the word to families who might be interested in joining our community or let us know HERE if there is a family who we should reach out to.

PARSHAT TERUMAH

Rabbi Moshe Davis

Throughout the next five weeks the Torah takes us through the incredibly detailed and precise explanation of how to build the Mishkan and everything to be housed inside and around it as well as the instructions to the Kohanim regarding the clothes they will wear as they serve Hashem in the Mishkan. Is there any connection between these Parashiyot and the holiday of Purim which almost always falls out during this time?

ROSH CHODESH ADAR

We were so excited to welcome parents and grandparents to come daven with us for Rosh Chodesh Adar! We look forward to having them come daven with us again!

Following davening, the elementary, middle and high school all came together for dancing!

700 BAGS TO SAVE A TREE!

On Tu Bishvat, the ECC learned that it takes recycling 700 paper bags to save a tree! The ECC classes are now on a mission to collect paper bags to save a tree by Earth Day! If you would like to donate any paper bags, please drop them off at the front desk or in any ECC class!

PBL AND GOOGLEMAPS

Dr. Levisohn taught the third graders about how to use Google Maps in preparation for their Project-Based Learning unit, which will integrate travel planning into a presentation of the best parts of Michigan. The students learned how to read the maps, how to figure out the way from their homes to the school, and how to find the fastest route for an itinerary that includes stops at many different places. They ended by figuring out an estimate for gas costs for their entire pretend trip. Stay tuned for more!

ROSH CHODESH ADAR

The Middle Schoolers (and high school) enjoyed a beautiful breakfast prepared by Mr. Digadker to celebrate the first day of Rosh Chodesh and Mazal Tov to Ami Doppelt and his family on his Hanachat Tefillin!

DANCING WITH DARCHEI
