Hello 7th Grade Families,
Our class is progressing through our unit dealing with the
Jewish value of community-building, and this past week we examined two very
important rituals that aid in keeping our community together. Shabbat and
holiday observance, in whatever way one chooses to celebrate, is an important
component of the fabric that makes up our Jewish community. On Sunday we held a
mock Shabbat dinner where we sang songs, performed the rituals together, and
ate a variety of chocolate items which symbolized different components of the
meal. On Tuesday we examined the Purim story through videos with differing
lenses into various parts of the narrative. We also had a conversation about
what parts of Purim each learner connected to.
We look forward to continuing our Purim lesson planning in
anticipation for the holiday coming up this Wednesday night. We hope to see you
all at the Purim carnival.
Have a peaceful Shabbat and a wonderful weekend.
David and Erin
