Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we continued our discussion of the Omer with a particular focus on Lag Ba'Omer (the 33rd day of the Omer which we celebrate next week). We spoke about some of the Jewish mourninging rituals focusing on the ones we practice during the Omer. And why and how we celebrate Lag Ba'Omer. We learned the significance of the bonfires we enjoy on Lag Ba'Omer, and why children shoot bows and arrows and many three year old boys get their first haircut (upsherin) on this special day of celebration. Thankfully we had a beautiful weather day on Tuesday so we enjoyed our learning outside under a tree.
