Dear
Parents,
Our
first full week of Religious school was great! Our spirited group of learners
started our Torah class by looking through the first chapters of the Book of Bereshit.
The kids searched for both Abram's & Sarai's names in Hebrew and looked
where in the Chumash their names were changed to Abraham & Sarah. We
discussed why there names were changed and the commitments they & God made
to each other. The kids also saw on an ancient Map of Israel &
surrounding countries & current Map, the route the "First family"
took to get to Israel.
Through
the stories of our Sacred Scripture, both biblical and rabbinic, I hope your
children will gain an understanding of what God commands us and how to live a
life of meaning and purpose.
Thank
you for partnering with me in your child's Jewish education. If you have any
questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Cillia
