November 12
Hebrew - The Bet Hebrew class learned to read with the Hebrew letters Mem and Mem Sofit. Students read in small groups and completed a writing activity and Hebrew word search. Writing the letters helps reinforce the students’ memory of the letter and will be useful when they study in our religious school’s Hebrew prayer curriculum. We also continued learning and singing prayers from the Kabbalat Shabbat service, including Lechu N’ranina, Yismechu, and Romemu. We also sing the Hatikvah each week. We look forward to seeing all our families next Sunday at our Bet Family Education program. The program will begin after our school wide Shirah and Tefillah (about 10:10) and will be held in the Temple Israel Social Hall.
Judaic Studies - This week we reviewed and completed some work in our binder related to parts of the sanctuary/chapel. We then looked at the book of stained glass art found in the sanctuary and made our own “stained glass” window. Many students choose to hang theirs up in the classroom but some preferred to bring it home. Everyone did a great job participating during tefillah and we ended the day in the Chanukah boutique. Remember, this Sunday is our family Ed program! Please join us in the sanctuary for morning tefillah and then stay for this special program. Although the program ends at 11:30, pickup remains the same…12:05pm either in the front via car or the back via walk up. In general, if you plan an early pickup, please let the office know in advance.
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!!
