SUMMARY:Be a Goat Whisperer!
DESCRIPTION:Be a Goat Whisperer!\nYom Kippur\, Thursday\, October 2\, 10:30 am \nCome by before or after services. \nDid you know that goats have been a symbol of the Jewish People since ancient times? Think\, Chad Gad Ya.\nDid you know that in biblical times\, our ancestors would symbolically place their sins on the head of a goat and send it off into the wilderness? Think\, scapegoat. (See Leviticus 16) \nThis year\, all children are invited to bring their parents or grandparents to the playground next door to visit with the goats. Tell them about your regrets from the past year and how you plan to do better in the year ahead. \nThe entrance to the playground is off the laneway between Ava Road and Dewbourne. \nRain or Shine.\nPlease note: Teachers and goat-herders will be on-site\, but this is not a drop-off program. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
