What's Happening at LEC
Boys Torah Fair Models School Curriculum
Projects bring to life stories from the Chumash to Gemorah

A large turnout came to see the results of hard work and creativity at this year's annual boys Torah Fair. The large number of projects—many of them hands-on activity centers—took parents on a child's educational path in Torah learning. A highlight of the program was a video/slideshow of the special extra-curricular activities that took place during the school year, which can be viewed above.
Elementary Girls Annual Torah Fair and Production
The theme "It's About Time" was brought to life in creative projects and in song and dance.

The theme of the weekly Torah portion came to life in the girls annual Torah Fair and production "It's About Time." Under the direction of Mrs. Esti Bonnardel, and with the creative help of Mrs. Malka Hellinger and Mrs. Nechama Goldberg, the message was well received by the large turnout of mothers and friends.

Hundreds Turnout for Father & Son Farbrengen
The gathering in honor of Yud-Tes Kislev was a very special event.

Davening, learning, singing niggunim, Devrai Torah, refreshments and a fun competition—all combined to make the Yud-Tes Kislev gathering of fathers, sons and teachers a truly unique event. The 2nd floor auditorium was filled with beautifully set tables and the sounds of fathers learning with their sons.
Jewish Journal Covers LEC Mitzvah Campaign
Encouraging others to do the mitzvah of lulav and esrog brought a warm response.

Local newspapers have picked up on the admirable activities of Lubavitch Educational Center students. In addition to the coverage on the Jewish Journal's website, the Sun Sentinel carried a similar story in their paper edition.
Petting Zoo for Preschoolers
The annual tradition is always held during the week of Parshas Noach.

What better way to appreciate the animals of Noach's ark than to view them up close? Thus was the wonderful opportunity LEC preschoolers had during the week of Parshas Noach. All manner of farm animals enjoyed—hopefully!—the excited attention of the young keepers of our Torah. Click on the photo for more pictures.
LEC Pantry Now Open!
A 7th grader's passion for helping others is the inspiration for the program.

In recognition of September as "Hunger Action Month," Beis Chana students have undertaken a project to serve the needy members of our community.

A Thought for the Day
Turnusrufus asked Rabbi Akiva: "If your G-d loves the poor, why doesn't He feed them?" Said Rabbi Akiva to him: "I'll give you an analogy: A king got angry on his child and locked his away in a dungeon, and commanded that he not be given to eat or to drink; and a person fed the king's child. When the king hears of this, does he not reward that person...?"
— Talmud, Bava Batra 10a
