Congregation Beth Israel’s Religious School in Scotch Plains held a Moving Up ceremony for its second and seventh-grade students on Sunday, June 5th, to celebrate their advancing to the next level of Jewish education. In front of their families, teachers and fellow classmates, the second-graders sang and spoke about their favorite Jewish “things”, and the seventh-graders gave the second-graders “words of wisdom” and insights into the great activities in Religious School.
