November 25 – Grade 5 – Tali

Shalom everyone,
Today we learned so many new things. We talked about Chanukah, as it is right around the corner. We tried to come up with good and mature answers as for the reasons we celebrate the holiday. Ask your children. We all agreed that the war against the Greeks was a difficult time for the Jews living in Israel. We also tried to look at other holidays and occasions that we as Jewish people were chased out of their land because of their beliefs.
We started learning about a new prophet name Deborah, who was also an intelligent, woman Judge. We will spend the next couple of weeks learning more about her.
In Hebrew we also started a new blessing, the third one of the Amidah – Keddusha, a blessing that talks about God’s holiness. A copy of the blessing was sent home and homework is practicing reading it.
Have peaceful week.
