This week we learned that, just like the United States,
Israel has a birthday. This year it will be celebrated on April 19. We looked
at pictures from a Day in Israel and discovered that in Israel there things are
the same as in the United States (kids ride the bus to school, families have
dinner together in their homes) and things that are different (camels, the Dead
Sea). The students really enjoyed the pictures!
In Hebrew, we learned two new letters: Pay (פ), which
has a penny next to its pocket, and samech (ס), which
has a smile. We are close to having learned the entire Hebrew alphabet and are
really good at singing the aleph bet.
Bar taught us about
Jerusalem and showed us a video of Grover traveling around Jerusalem with a
young friend. Then we made stones and wrote wishes for the Kotel (the Western
Wall).
We also got to help hang
Mezuzahs on the Gan and Kiteh Aleph classroom doors. They already have
Mezuzahs, but we hung new ones down lower so that everyone can have access to a
Mezuzah when they go through the doors.
There is no Religious
School for the next two weeks because it is school vacation. Have a wonderful
break and we’ll see you in a few weeks.
