Hebrew Update


Dear Parents, 

 This week has flown by and I wanted to let you know what our classes accomplished. 

We began both Sunday and Tuesday with teffilah led by Rabbi Dahlen. He expanded on the discussion we had about the purpose of prayer and the Torah reading being the  re-enactment of receiving the Torah  on Mount Sinai.

We practiced putting on the tallit and the bracha we make when we put it on. The students each put on the tallit, made the bracha,  and told us what it felt like when they wrapped themselves in the tallit. 
 
Chugim were so much fun on Sunday. We added a few new options. Ask your children about the Chug they attended. I helped with a Hebrew Name Chug that related to the parsha "Lech Lecha", that we read in the synogogue this last week.  We made necklaces and bracelets with our Hebrew names on them. They were really colorful and artistic. 
In our Hebrew classes, we continued sharpening our reading skills and we played a game with reading Hebrew word flash cards. 

 I want to wish you an early HAPPY THANKSGIVING . We all have a great deal to be thankful for. 

 Shabbat Shalom,
 Toby Schlussel
