Hello 7th grade parents,
This Sunday we continued our learning with G’milut Chasadim
and talked about friendship and the difference between true friends and
cliques. The 7th grade boys were excited to learn about friendship in the Torah
as we discussed David and Jonathan. The 7th graders learned how Jonathan stood
up to his jealous father King Saul in order to save his best friend David’s
life. Later on we continued our song session style T’filiah as the 7th graders
learned the importance and significance of the main sanctuary. It was
incredibly moving to see the students feel differently about the regular
prayers we go over because they realized the holy surrounding they were praying
in. We concluded class by channeling our own “Dear Nancy” as we made our own
newspaper column and solved problems that peers were facing. It was a fun
experience and although David was away and truly missed, Erin had a fun time
working with the students this Sunday.
This coming Sunday we look forward to putting our Religious
School lessons into practice. We have been examining the issue of hunger in our
community and this Sunday we will be going to Yad Ezra to help pack food for
the hungry. This ties up our lesson nicely and we hope your kids can join us
Sunday.
Have a great rest of the week and a peaceful Shabbat.
David and Erin
