First Day of School

8/27, first day of school.  A fair amount of anticipatory anxiety (for both parents and children) shall we say?  But it all went very well.  Very impressive how the kids are adjusting (it might take the parents a bit more time)...but the school seems very open and welcoming with some cool activities, like an early morning (3 am Friday morning) synagogue tour for Toby's class, to hear pre Rosh Hashanah prayers.

Buying books was another interesting experience - a 50 square foot store crammed with people buying school supplies amid shouting parents and screaming kids.  Very Israeli. Luckily we had some help from a veteran, English speaking parent.
