This past Sunday, Kitah Vav working on tying tzitzit with
Josh from 10 - 11, and had a special program on the origins and intricacies of
the chocolate business from 11 - 12. Last week, we worked on dramatizations of
the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David. Students were divided into two groups,
each of which was given two skits adapted directly from the Hebrew Bible. The
skits covered Saul’s coronation, Samuel’s berating of the Israelite people for
their desire for a king, Saul’s disobedience to G-d, and the selection of David
as the (future) second king of Israel. The students worked independently and
with instructor guidance on rehearsing and dramatizing their skits, then came
back together at the end of class to present their stories to each other. Once
the four skits were performed in order, the whole story was illuminated. The
students did a wonderful job bringing color and personality to the characters
they played, and I look forward to further exploring the stories of Saul,
Samuel, and David with them as we move forward.
