Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we discussed the concept of הידור מצווה (Hiddur Mitzvah) which we define as enhancing our performance of a mitzvah (a divine commandment). We also spoke about the upcoming Torah portion
פרשה וירא (Parsha Vayeira) which literally means "and he appeared". We spoke about where we get the names of our weekly Torah portions. Then we studied the text of this particular Torah portion as it will be the Torah portion we read in 2 weeks when Shaarey Zedek will be celebrating TGIS (Thank G-d It's Shabbat).

We ended our class session by making the foundations of center
pieces which we will be using for the upcoming TGIS Shabbat dinner. In making
these center pieces we are enhancing our upcoming community Shabbat celebration
or performing a הידור מצווה.
We hope you and your family will be able to join us for this special Shabbat service and diner so that you can see your children's creative and beautiful centerpieces and participation and leadership in the Shabbat rituals.
