Greenwich Reform Synagogue celebrated the opening of its new home May 21.
Rabbi Sklarz led the congregation in the installation of the entrance “mezuzah.” Adults and children then scattered to attach the “mezuzot” on doors throughout the building. Afterwards, everyone gathered in the sanctuary for a “Shavuot” celebration and teacher appreciation, along with lots of singing and dancing. The holiday of Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah (the Jewish Bible) at Mt. Sinai. Dairy foods are traditionally eaten on this holiday, so everyone celebrated with ice cream.
