DALET (4th) Blog 22-23

Today in our study of Israel and in preparation for our Class Shabbat on February 3, we concentrated on Hatikvah, the national anthem of Israel.  We talked about the significance of an anthem, what it means to citizens of a country, and how we use it to honor a country.  We then examined specifically the words in Hatikvah and why they are so  appropriate to our homeland.  The students worked on composing a poem that will help us teach others about Hatikvah and Israel.  Be sure you have February 3 on your calendar for our Class Shabbat so you hear their great work.
