CHANUKAH CELEBRATION
We had a great time during our Chanukah program on Sunday. Thank you to all the families that attended.
We learned, created, and ate! It was a great way to celebrate!
Thank you to the Myer Rappaport Youth Education Fund for sponsoring our Chanukah program.
Click on the bee for this week's Torah portion, Vayigash.
This week the students learned about Parshat Vayigash (He drew Near). Joseph is faced with the choice to help or harm the brothers who had previously left him for dead. After hearing the story, students discussed the idea of Gevurah (strength) and how Judah showed tremendous courage in being willing to sacrifice himself for Benjamin. They also noted how hard it would be to help someone who hurt you, coming to the conclusion that Gevurah is the only way. We then listed other Jewish figures, who they have seen demonstrate acts of Gevurah.
Ask your child which person in their lives makes them think of Gevurah!.
