Judaic Studies:
Today the students identified the Torah portion for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah and began to generate ideas on what topic they might make the center of their D’var Torah. We have studied the giving of this talk as one of the duties a Bar/Bat Mitzvah often performs and we discussed how it is another example of taking on the role of a Jewish adult. Ask your child what ideas they have based on their parasha. We then began viewing a film about someone having their Bar Mitzvah. Ask your student about Lior, and why his having a Bar Mitzvah might be a bit more special than most.
Hebrew:
Students did some work in their Mitkadem binders. Then, they took a break from Mitkadem and spent the morning learning different words and phrases associated with the Purim, including the 4 mitzvot of Purim.
