(You shall..or you shall not.) Another way is to classify mitzvot according to those that involve actions between people and those that are between a person and God. Our 9-10 year olds had very strong opinions about how they...Read more...

Shalom Kitah Dalet Parents,
In our 13th Ivrit session our Daletniks found their very own copies of the Mitkadem text to take home and keep. I recommended that they use it to brush up on letters and vowels that they are likely to forget in the coming semester. The prayers we will study will not have every letter and vowel, so review will be very helpful. I also demonstrated an alternative and, perhaps, more fun way of reviewing: the...Read more...

In this class, we will focus on different aspects of Israeli culture (Music, Art, Literature, Dance and more). In continuing with last year’s format, each session will focus on a different cultural art form. This year, we will do a deep dive into one cultural piece ( a song, a story, a dance) each session. We will explore the time period and context in which it was created, how this creation affected the cultural moment, and how it reflects Israeli society and culture. Through these cultural pieces, we will deepen our exploration of the complexities of the 21st century state of Israel.
