Dear Parents,
Even though this week was
very short, we were very busy learning about Yom Kippur.
-We looked at the calendar and we saw that the date is Yud which
means 10, and the month is Tishrei.
Calender:
When we came back to school we found out that it is a new month
(Tishrei) and a new Hebrew year ( תשע"ג).
We also saw that we are in the middle of Aseret Yemei Teshuva and
that this Shabbat is Shabbat Shuvah.
Aseret Yemei Teshuva”
-We counted 10 days from Rosh Hashanah and now we understand why these days are called: Aseret Yemei Teshuva” the 10
days of Repentance.
-We learn about Selichot service.
-After Rosh Hashanah ends and before Yom Kippur
starts the next notable day is the special Shabbat (this Shabbat) that has its own name: Shabbat Shuvah ("Sabbath [of] Return")
meaning the Sabbath devoted to "teshuva" which means "repentance" in Hebrew.
Tashlikh (תשליך, meaning "casting off")
This
week first grade went to the stream that is next to our school and trew their “mistakes”.
Now we are all ready for “Yom Kipur”.
