Josh Finishes His First Year at Derech Etz Chaim

After his first year shteiging at Derech Etz Chaim, Josh will head home for the summer to work at NeSHAma day camp in Great Neck. It was great to have Joshua this year, and Elisheva, Ezra and Elazar appreciated having their uncle around

Here are some pictures of Josh from our most recent trip to the Golan. Abba and Uncle Josh spent some quality time together on these long hikes. We also shared a kayak and paddled down the Jordan River
Josh has become quite the backyard chef with his handy skills on the barbeque. Josh also helps a lot in the DEC kitchen on Shabbos to help with the yeshiva Shabbos meals.

We look forward to having Josh back for shana bet

This is Elazar making his best "funny face":

The other siblings seem to be happy to have Elazar, but Elazar doesn't seem thrilled to be left with Ezra and Elisheva:

Ezra's 4th Birthday in Gan

Ezra is sporting the lovely pink flower crown in honor of his 4th birthday at Gan Esther (along with Yosef his co-birthday friend)

The teacher presented Ezra with a book and a candy. The children danced around Ezra. Yosef's mother brought cake for everyone and Ima brought ice pops (igloos) for all the children.
