The Torah Academy Primary School in Johannesburg, South Africa, was abuzz with excitement at the beginning of Elul 5774.
Surrounded by many family members, friends and teachers, the grade one boys and girls celebrated their ‘Grand Siddur Concert’.
The Siddur concert is one of the school’s highlight events. The concert was especially formulated to combine music, song and dance with the inner meanings, explanations and content of various Tefillos. The songs have such a powerful role in making the daily repetition of the Tefillos a profound experience for these boys and girls. A special segment on Elul and the preparations for Rosh Hashana was included, adding another dimension to the performance.
The many guests in attendance were entertained, uplifted and inspired by the children’s enthusiasm and joy. Their shining faces and exuberance truly set the tone for the countdown to Rosh Hashana 5775. The culmination of the Concert, and the highly anticipated moment for each young child, was when they each received their first, specially personalized, Siddur.
Morahs Messody Katz and Yaffa Liberow were thanked for the hours of preparation that went into this day, and for their passionate dedication to the Grade One unit in general.
The Siddur concert has a powerful effect on these precious Neshamos, instilling in them a love for Hashem, and a treasured means of reaching out to Him – through Tefilla.
