Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we continued our discussion of פֶּסַח (Passover), delved into some customs about matzah, and shared our family customs with one another...all while we made my family recipe for Matzah Brie. DELICIOUS!
Last week my post was accidentally omitted from the blog. Since it didn't make it onto the blog yet, here is a recap of what we covered...in our previous class we focused our attention on some aspects of the Passover Seder. We considered instances in the Seder where the number four appears (the 4 cups of wine/grape juice we drink, and the 4 questions) and thought about the significance of the number four. We learned that originally the four questions were not the canonized questions we find in the modern Hagadah and why they have changed. We also discovered why early on in the Seder the youngest asks questions of all those gathered, And then, we learned that the number four represents four aspects of our slavery in Egypt and, as a result, we celebrate these four components of our freedom at the Seder.
