Dear Parents,
I hope you had an enjoyable holiday season. Now that we are
back to a regular schedule, we finally had our first full week of school in a
long time.
On Sunday, we began with Teffilah. Allison Gutman led
Tefillah on that day and we spent a few minutes reviewing some of the
highlights of the Hoshana Rabba Tefillah Service that the students participated
in together with the regular Shaarey Zedek minyan. We don't often get the
opportunity to join the regular minyan on a Sunday morning, so this was a
special occasion and the Hoshana Rabba service was a unique opportunity.
We continued the day with our regular Hebrew classes for 6th
graders. We reviewed important reading skills. Chugim was next on our schedule We added a few new
chugim this week. Ask your children which one they were involved in.
We concluded our day with 4th and 5th grade Hebrew. We
continued to strengthen our reading skills during that time. Tuesday, again began with Tefillah led by Rabbi Dahlen.He had a discussion with the students about the Torah. We learned that the Torah service is a replication of when God gave Moses and the Jewish People the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai. The
responses to the questions he asked were very interesting and thoughtful. Ask
your children about this discussion.
We continued honing our Hebrew reading skills with the 4th
and 5th graders and ended our day with a quick "Shimshon Omer"
game.
I hope to see all of you with your families this Sunday,
November 6th for our annual "Fall Fix Up" .
Have a Shabbat Shalom.
