Dear Parents,
Over the past month we've been learning about the Jewish holidays as we've
experienced them. It's been quite a feat!
Now that this cycle of holidays has concluded, this week we delved further into
our 7th grade curriculum by focusing on the Mitzvah of Tzedakah (צדק). We
discussed how the root of the word Tzedakah is Tzedek which means both "righteousness" and
"justice". This lead to a meaningful discussion about the connections
between charity and acts and righteousness and justice. We also spoke of ways
that we are and can continue to be charitable.
On Tuesday we made our own tzedakah boxes to put these thoughts and learning
into action.
Best,
Morim Hollenberg and Rice
