Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we continued our discussion of the Jews Exodus from Egypt and looked ahead to the upcoming Holiday of Shavuot. Then we focused our discussion on the auspicious time period we are currently in--the Omer. We spoke about the importance of refining ourselves during this time when we anticipate receiving the Torah and evolving from a large family in Egypt to a Nation at Mt. Sinai. Then we learned about the biblical commandment to count the days from the second night of Passover until Shavuot, how to fulfill this commandment, and why it is important.
