Hebrew Update

Dear 4th - 6th grade families, 

This week was filled with lots of fun, learning and holiday festivities! 

 Sunday, the 4th graders played a game called Taboo - Jewish Edition. They had such a fun time trying to get their teammates to guess specific words related to various Jewish traditions and customs, and it was great to witness everyone's creativity. It was also such a pleasure to see how well they all play together. 

 Afterwards the students went to their Chugim (electives). This week in lieu of challah braiding and in honor of Chanukah, a new chug was introduced -- dreidle making! I heard from some kids who participated in this chug that they really enjoyed it.

 For the last hour of the day, the entire school gathered for a wonderful performance by the Jewish A Cappella group the Six13. It was very entertaining and they had lots of the kids dancing!

 On Tuesday we began with our usual Torah Lab time, and then we joined the Minyan to light the Chanukkiah. Our day concluded with all of the religious school students gathering in the lobby and eating yummy latkes with applesauce and sour cream. 

 May the glowing candles of Chanukah bring peace to you all this holiday season. Looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday. 

 B'shalom,
