Kitah Bet Update

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.
