Dear Parents,

Chag HaSiddur was fabulous. I’m very proud of all my students.

Thank you for coming.

The Siddur:

We got to pray today from our own siddur we received yesterday.

It was very exiting!

We added the beginning of the "Amidah" prayer (18 Shmone Esrei),

I'm sending the old Siddur to keep at home.

 “My library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי "   

This week’s story is:"יש גשם בחוץ"  (Yesh Geshem Ba’chotz)- there is rain outside.

It is a great practice for the coming week words.

Parashat Hashavua: Parashat : "בהר בחוקותי"
This Friday we learned about the Mitzvah of Shimitah. This Mitzvah happens in Israel every 7 years. The farmers do not work their land, plant on it or sell any foods that grow from it. After 7 Shimitot, we celebrate the “Yovel” year. This occurs every 50 years. We also learned about the Mitzvah of Tzedaka. We learned that the best way to give Tedaka is to give it secretly so that no one knows that the poor person is getting money. We also learned that there is a the Mitzvah to lend money to someone who needs money. We also learned that you cannot ask the person to pay you back more money than he borrowed. This is called “neshech” or interest.
