Kitah Hey Update

Dear Parents,

 Our Torah story continues.... The students were served Lentil soup, reminiscent of Jacobs soup that Esau traded his "birthright" for. It was delicious but only satisfying for a short period of time. We discussed how sometimes we do things at the spur of the moment when you should think for a while before making an important decision.

 When asked the question "what is so important to you that you would never sell" the kids spoke about their grandparents . They told us about how important  they are in their lives. They help them with all sorts of things and are always there for them.

 Our class took part in a Tu B'shvat Seder. It was inspired by Hazon. We spoke about the importance of trees and the fruits that they produce. We were served fruits of the "Seven species" that are written and described in the Torah. These fruits are grown in Israel. We are enjoyed and reviewed the blessings of gratitude for these fruits. Our program ended with a Birthday Cake in honor of the Holiday.

 Shabbat Shalom,

Cillia Kleiman
