HAFTR Early Childhood celebrated Lag BaOmer on Thursday and Friday. They had a fun gym program with Morah Naomi Weissler on Thursday in honor of the chag. The children learned about Rabbi Akiva, who taught us to treat our friends the way we want them to treat us. This is quite a big lesson for little children to learn, but their amazing moros help them practice every day by speaking about sharing and being the best friend that we can be to others.

After living on the Upper West Side for five years, we were looking to move and we wanted a change from the large community that is the UWS. We didn't want the same type of place, packed to the gills and easy to get lost in crowds. We wanted to somehow still have an easy commute to the city, where we both work, and find a place that we could consider living as opposed to just another place we would rent for a few years then move again. After a Google search for Jewish communities in Westchester, we found Fleetwood. They happened to be hosting an open house that weekend to welcome prospective couples and families which we quickly signed up for. Within 5 minutes at the event we found Fleetwood inviting, warm, and welcoming. Plus the shul was a five-minute walk to the Metro-North!
