Happy Birthday, Leo

What a day to celebrate! During the joyous festival of Purim, and on Shabbat, we welcomed the Rosin family for Leo's fourth birthday.
Despite all the excitement of costumes, the Sunshines listened intently as Leo's Dad read Albert the Fix-it Man, by Janet Lord. This was a wonderful choice, reflecting Leo's great interest in fixing things, and demonstrating the value of helping others and the importance of community. Albert is a mensch who can fix anything, and who generously helps his neighbors with repairs. When Albert is sick one day, the neighbors come together to lend a hand, and Albert is soon on the mend. This says so much to the children about how we can care for and cooperate with one another. Our thanks to Sara, Jeff, Micah and Travis for joining the Sunshine class to share this story and to celebrate Leo's special day.
