We were so happy to welcome our students back after our Thanksgiving break. It was so nice seeing all their smiling faces on Tuesday. We started the afternoon off with our Parasha of the week - "Vayetze" in Genesis: 28:10 Jacob "went out" from Be'er Sheva and went toward Haran. He stops to rest one night and has a dream of seeing a ladder with angels ascending and descending. G-d repeats the blessing that he has given to Abraham and Isaac and promises to protect him and return him to Canaan.
We continued to discuss the Parasha, highlighting Leah and Rachel and how Jacob was deceived by his uncle Laban. This led to a brief discussion about Jewish wedding traditions.
Today our Tefillah experience activity was writing three original brachot. Ask your child to share their blessings with you...
In Hebrew/Tefillah we began our study of Chanukah by singing the three blessings and Maoz Tsur. We are continuing to review our letters, vowels, and prayers in preparation to lead the Shabbat Under The Stars service on Friday, February 17, 2023. Remember to mark your calendar!
