November 14 & 15
Tuesday:
Hebrew and Experiential Education -We had a slightly different format on Tuesday. First, students from all grades were grouped by Hebrew level. One group learned to read the blessings recited when lighting the Chanukah candles, and the other group (our Mitkadem students) began learning to read the Aleinu prayer in Hebrew. This group and all of the Mitkadem students will continue to work on learning the various Hebrew prayers, as part of their Midweek learning. We hope that some students may lead the Ashrei for the congregation once they master it! After Hebrew, Rabbi Kornsgold led a discussion with the students about the purpose of the pro-Israel rally, watched a video from Rabbi Wolk and Cantor Lissek at the rally, and created bracelets, where they could express their hope for peace in Israel.
Wednesday:
Hebrew -Students continued working in their Hebrew groups. Our Mitkadem students worked on the prayer that they are studying-please ask your student to share with you what they are studying in Mitkadem! You will receive your student’s progress report at the end of the semester, which will detail which prayers they are studying. Our Hebrew reading students worked in small groups. One group learned to read with the Hebrew letter Kuf and practiced reading lines of Hebrew with the Kuf. Another group worked on reading with the Hebrew letter Samech. Both groups also practiced words and phrases from the siddur (prayer book).
