Here's what happened today at Religious School!
In 4th grade Hebrew we
started to learn the Kiddush by reading, translating & singing. Some students
were able to read the whole V'ahavta. We practiced reading Hebrew with sound alike
letters and we sang a song like the "hokey pokey" to review the Hebrew body parts. In Judaic studies we
spent time discussing midrash and how we can add our interpretations to Biblical stories. The class was asked to show how Sarah laughed when she was told that
she was going to have a baby. The facial expressions were great and reflected surprise, thinking it was funny, non believing, and happy. The Davar Ha Yom was hospitality and we explored what kind of hospitality Abraham showed to strangers?
In 5th grade Judaic studies we talked about the different types of miracles: supernatural,
communal and personal. Then we read the story of Daniel and the Lions Den.
Finally, we
brainstormed additional types of miracles and contemporary examples from our day to day lives. In Hebrew the class delved deeper into the Amidah. Students selected three of four activities for completion including a creative writing essay, reading practice, and prayer word activities. I would like students to practice reading the first two lines of the Amidah at home. Please read them into a cell phone audio recording and email the recording to me (Mrs. Goldberg). My email is edmelgol@gmail.com This will be a fun way to practice and we will all know if you improve in your reading fluency.

The 6th grade explored questions about Yad Vashem, the
Holocaust Museum in Israel. In Hebrew we checked on the reading of the
prayers we have learned: Kaddish, Ashrei, Birkot HaTorah, Birkot HaHaftara and
Aleinu. We also completed our amazing ID cards to send to our partner school in Israel.
7th grade got ready for Purim during the first hour of class. Students were given the option of helping write songs for the Purim shpiel, acting out roles in the story, or creating backdrops for the Purim carnival. You will see their talents on Wednesday, March 7th! During the second hour of class the students worked in pairs to evaluate different internet games and videos for reviewing Hebrew letters and vocabulary. You can watch the favorite video!
