Yisrael's מסיבת סידור

Today was a very monumental day for Yisrael- he got his first Siddur in Cheder! He just finished learning how to read (and he's pretty good at it!) and today his class celebrated their מסיבת סידור- which they've been looking forward to weeks.

Instead of doing a big party for the parents (they will be having a חומש party in a few months when they start learning חומש, to which the parents will be invited) - the Rebbe tried to make it a really meaningful day for the boys. And what's more meaningful than taking the boys to the Kosel and davening there with their new siddurim for the first time? We were very touched by the idea- as was Yisrael. He came home glowing (mabye also because of all the candy he got?!) and was eager to tell us about his special day.

I wasn't really able to get any good pictures, being that I wasn't there, but here's a picture of him when he came home. (I'm sure the Rebbe will send home pictures with his דף קשר)
