Dear Parents,
Yesterday we hosted
Kitah Gimmel in our class. There was a very last minute situation and the
solution was for them to come learn with us. It worked out very well
and thanks to the two madrichim the morning was a great success. We made
edible sukkot. I think by the time most of you saw them they were mostly eaten,
or perhaps succumbed to the problem of all sukkot -fallen!
We visited the sukkah
and had a snack there and all your children performed the mitzvah of lulav and
etrog. Combined with eating in the sukkah they have done two mitzvot of
Sukkot. Ask your children if they can name you these two mitzvot.
I shared with them the
story "Mysterious Sukkah Guests". Ask your children if they can
retell you the story and the message that we learned. The message was that it
is important in life to treat all people equally and to welcome guests into
your home and treat them as you would like
to be treated. The
message resonated yesterday because we had guests in our class and all students
were treated as equals.
Tomorrow we will learn
about the holiday of Simchat Torah which begins on Thursday evening and
continue with our Hebrew learning.
We missed Addisyn Gold,
Addison Jacob and Sari Wagner on Sunday.
See everyone on Tuesday.
Please complete the Hebrew reading homework with your children and return the
signed paper to me.
Davida
