On Sunday we began by writing thank you letters to the Myer Rappaport Youth Education Fund for sponsoring our Chanukah programs. Students added little decorations to their letters to make them special.
We watched a video on Joseph and made Joseph's coat. Then we cut out the squares featuring the story of Joseph and his brothers and made a booklet to bring home.
We will continue learning about Joseph after the winter break.
3rd-6th Grade Update:
On Sunday students had a special treat: a Zoom call with someone in Israel! Owen Abrams' friend from Camp Ramah Darom, Noa, spoke to the students about Israeli schools, food, sports, and even Starbucks (which they don't really have in Israel)! The students were really interested to hear what she had to say and that she went to school six days a week, which made them grateful to live here. Then students sharpened their Hebrew skills with Morah Marla, and they wrote thank you cards to the Myer Rappaport Youth Education fund for sponsoring our Chanukah programming, with Mr. Zach.
Click on the bee for this week's Torah portion, Vayechi.
Students read this week’s Parshat Hashavua: Vayechi (and he lived). They learned about each of the Twelve Tribes and the roles assigned to them by Jacob. Students then thought about which tribe they might belong to based on the descriptions. Ask your child which tribe is the best fit for them!

Chaluztim & USY Gesher had a relay great time at our Maccabi Games this past Sunday!
