GAN (K) Blog 22-23

For this week in Gan, we held our Family Education, learning all about the prayer Shema. We learned about what the Shema means and why it is an important prayer. We were joined by Rabbi Kornsgold to learn how to sing the Shema and V’havta with the sign-language and the meaning behind each movement. We read the book, “The Bedtime Shema” and talked about our routines before bedtime and how we are supposed to say the Shema before going to bed. We also learned our new Hebrew letter, “Shin”. As a family, each child decorated their special Shema pillowcase. I hope you enjoyed this special lesson and encourage your children to use their pillowcase and say the Shema together at bedtime and when they wake up in the morning.
