Hebrew Update

Dear Parents,

 

This past Sunday, we began our day with Tefillah . We reviewed some of the Shabbat Shacharit (morning) prayers and then headed to our classrooms.

 The 4th, 5th and 6th grades concentrated on the blessings that we chant when we light the Chanukiah on Chanukah. We also spent time reading the words for "Hanerot Hallalu", a CHanukah song.

There were only two Chugim this past Sunday. Ask your children which Chug they went to. Some of the students made some very artistic collages relating to our Chanukah text study.  You can see them displayed in the hallway. Stop and take a look. They are really creative. 

On Tuesday, we again began with Torah Lad led by Rabbi Dahlen. We  continued practicing the portion of Tefillah related to the Torah service. Students had an opportunity to perform the various aliyot in the Torah service in preparation for their B'nai Mitzvot. We continued the day  by reading the "Maoz Tzur" with the 4th and 5th graders. This text gave them new vocabulary for pronunciation and taught them one of Judaism's most favorite CHanukah tunes.

 

This Sunday, we are having a special The Chanukah Happening program for the entire family . 

Come and join your children in what promises to be a fun day. 

All the festivities begin right after Tefillah. I hope to see you all!

Have a Shabbat Shalom, Toby Schlussel
