Morah Schlussel Hebrew Update

Dear Parents,

This past Sunday we continued with our two minyanim. We are continuing to make good progress in both, learning to  read and  chant the prayers.

During our Hebrew classes we continued our reading assessments. While students were being pulled out by teachers and madrichim,  I taught the classes . The Torah portion was Yitro and we discussed one similarity between that parsha and the upcoming Purim holiday -  the importance of action of individuals. Ask your children what was a very important action that one Jew took during the splitting of the sea and during the Purim story.

On Tuesday, Hazan Propis came into Cantor Gutman's minyan and told the students about a city wide Zimriyah on March 29th. He began teaching the children two songs that he would like Shaarey Zedek students to sing at the Zimriyah. He gave them the song sheets and CDs to practice with. Put it in your computer and sing along with your children.This is completely voluntary . We are hoping to have a nice representation of Shaarey Zedek students at that Zimriyah.

We are completing our Hebrew reading assessments.

We are on vacation until February 22, 2015.  Have a good break and stay warm .

Shabbat Shalom,

Toby Schlussel
