ARTICLE OF THE WEEK

3rd graders recreated the State of Israel at YHT at the very exciting Israel Fair this past week.! Students researched different cities in Israel and recreated them in a variety of models. Parents joined us to tour the cities and collected stickers on their passports as they gathered clues from student presentations. Thank you to Morah Eliana Zelman, Morah Esther Kaufman and Morah Sagit Hoffi for coordinating this lovely project and fair. Students were proud of themselves and learned all kinds of information about their cities, including where they appear in the Torah and what the landscape of the modernized cities looks like. Kol Hakavod! This hands on learning connected our students even more to our beloved Medinat Yisrael. We wonder if it was pure coincidence that the Fair took place on the day that the United States made history by opening its embassy in Yerushalyim.
