Our new creative arts program has proven to be a great success!
Each week, leading up to Shavuot, we learn a new quality...... and enjoy a different art project.
Students look at Jewish text, then look within themselves, and openly share their own
great thoughts and ideas! Creativity at its best!
Qualities thus far have included: kindness ( hesed), inner strength (gevurah), tiferet (inner beauty/ beauty in nature). This week we will explore the quality of commitment (netsach).
Stop by the lobby to check out the collages created to display each week's quality!
Midweek we experienced israel's "yom hazikaron" Memorial Day while watching a video of israel.
A loud siren is sounded, and all activity comes to a stop for two minutes. Total silence as we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our Jewish homeland. We all stood silently as we watched and listened.......it was powerful!
Today we talked about yom ha-atsmaut (israel Independence Day), and how israel became a state after 2000 years! Our amazing homeland has truly accomplished miracles in its 68 years!
Ask your children about israel's many amazing inventions! Students found it very interesting the way Hebrew became the modern spoken language. Thank you Ben Yehudah! Ask them to share the details!
In honor of yom ha-atsmaut, we enjoyed a traditional and very yummy breakfast.......
Bread with chocolate spread! Who wouldn't love that!
So much we can learn from israel!
Shavua tov,
Cindy
