As we get closer to the Passover holiday, our focus this evening was apparent as the fourth grade was tested on the Four Questions, sang songs from the Haggadah and played a game with Passover terms in Hebrew and English.
Fifth grade Hebrew students finished learning the G'vurot, and everyone worked with a partner to make sure they were reading the prayer correctly. In Judaic Studies, fifth graders continued their discussjon of marriage. Everyone made a list of questions they had about what a Jewish marriage is so they can ask the Rabbis at a later date.
Sixth graders watched a video about Israeli Mitzvah heroes in Judaic Studies, and learned about how even an average citizen can do his or her part to save the world. In Hebrew, the students watched a video that focused on the first parsha in the Book of Exodus, and discussed how Moses needed to overcome his disabilities to fulfill his mission.
Finally, our seventh graders continued their study of ways in which they can get involved by looking at the world. With tikkun olam (fixing the world) in mind, they looked at advocacy as an option, and they explored how advocacy is different from direct action. Everyone had the opportunity to think about how they could use advocacy to apply it to an issue they care about.
