Hi Gimel Families,
It was so wonderful to see so many of our Gimel families at our Class Shabbat Celebration this past Friday. What amazing heroes your children are!
This week we read about and discussed The Sad Tale of Sodom. Your children are so intuitive and deep in their thought process which makes discussion so much fun to have. While reading, the class made the observation that what we read can be very dramatic while also teaching us lessons. We talked about what connections we could make to our parsha, what captured our attention and what we could take away and learn from each story. Please take a moment to ask your child some of these questions from this past week’s discussions:
Why did God tell Abraham to name his son Isaac? What does the name Isaac mean? Why did God save Lot and his family from the city of Sodom? Why was Lot’s wife turned into a rock of salt?
I hope these questions spur some discussion while they share all of their knowledge!
TIRS would love to have all parents come and share our start of our TIRS day in the sanctuary this Sunday, February 5th at 9:30am. After Shira/Tefillah all students will go to class while the parents are welcome to stay and enjoy a yummy nosh and coffee at the PTO meeting. The class with the most parents in attendance will receive a special snack for the day. Hope you can make it!
As always, please contact me if you have any questions. Morah Ilene
