Judaic Studies
Today we examined the reasons behind the location of modern day Israel. How did the Zionists know exactly where to place the borders and what should be included in a new modern nation? We turned to the Books of the Torah to find answers. We discussed the books of the Torah–can you and your child name them?--and their divisions into chapter and verse. Review with your child what the notation Genesis 15:18–21 means. If you want to explore more of the references to Israel that we found review these passages:
Genesis 21: 25-32 (Beersheba)
Genesis 26: 23-25 (Beersheba)
Exodus 23:31 (Borders–Red Sea to Med Sea–Desert to Great River)
Numbers 34:1–15
Hebrew
Students started working in their Mitkadem binders. Mitkadem is the self-paced Hebrew program, based in Tefillah, which our students use to learn Hebrew and the meaning of different tefillot.
