ROBIN’S JUDAIC UPDATE FOR WEEK OF
MARCH
22ND
What a busy week we had in Kita Heh! Learning
about Pesach, reviewing its laws, having a test on them, and finishing up our
special Passover Haggada “companion” took most of our time. Those special
Haggada “companions” contain a lot of interesting material and Divrei Torah
that are meant to enrich your seders. Please be sure to ask your child to share
it with you, in case they forget to. I am enclosing a letter about this with
the newsletter which needs to be signed and returned to me after Pesach. I
explained to the children that instead of a written test on the Haggada packet,
their “test” is to share what they’ve learned with you at your seders ,or even
during the holiday. If that is done, they “passed” the test. However, if they
don’t share anything, then they will be held responsible for the material after
the holiday.
We had time this week to continue learning a bit
in Chumash and continued with our new psukim in perek 45 , from 1-8, discussing
how Yosef revealed himself to his brothers and the first things he said to them
to make them feel comfortable and not guilty for what they did to him. I hope
you have seen your child’s Chumash test which went home last week. Please ask
for it, if you haven’t. It should be signed and shown to me, so I know you are
aware of your child’s progress. In Navi we continued a bit in perek 6 and learned
what Hashem told Gideon to do before he would fight Midyan, Amalek and Bnei
Kedem.
Today will have a “model” seder together with the
sixth grade, which will be led by Rabbi Elbaz and myself. In addition with
reviewing the important parts of the seder, we have also planned many fun
activities for the students. We hope they will enjoy it and bring that
excitement home with them for a joyous Pesach.
Wishing you all a very happy and “kosher” Pesach!
חג כשר ושמח !!!
Shabbat Shalom,
Morah Robin
