Hello,

Today was a really cool class. We learned about the history of Jewish naming tradition, the power of names, and how it shapes a person. We took some time for everyone to research what their name means and shared it with the class.

Hello everyone!

This past Sunday we talked about the origins of Shabbat, some of its practices, and one of the most important aspects of Shabbat -rest and self-care. We also had a short quiz to see where everyone’s Hebrew is at. I am happy to announce that they were all right where I had hoped they would be!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Rosh Hashanah and a meaningful fast during Yom Kippur. We had a great class today. We learned about the meaning and history of Sukkot and the rules of building a sukkah. We were even lucky enough to virtually visit a sukkah created by Michelle, so all the students completed a mitzvah. Some quick notes:

1. Everyone seemed a little rusty on their Hebrew, so please have the student’s review this resource guide/ have the sheet ready for Hebrew lessons
2. We do not have class until the 18th
3. This is what is required for the next class
