The Kitah Dalet students completed their study of Bereshit with a discussion about the very first Shabbat. We talked about GOD commanding Adam and Eve to rest on the seventh day, but not giving them specific instructions for this task. We discussed the Midrash about the angels begging GOD to teach Adam and Eve how to make fire and observe Shabbat in the Garden before being sent away. From this we headed into a discussion about forgiveness and GOD's acceptance of our imperfections. Students shared their ideas about the perfect Shabbat and our unit will continue as the year progresses.
Our Tuesday afternoon block has moved upstairs into our new classroom and we welcomed each other into our new space with a lively discussion about Hanukkah, light, freedom, and standing up for the things we believe in. We look forward to sharing these ideas with you at our Sunday Simchat Limud, and encourage you to join your children in our Holiday Happening.
