Dear Parents,

Even though this week was very short, we were very busy learning about Yom Kippur.

Tashlikh (תשליך‎, meaning "casting off")

B’H on Monday we will take the first grade students to performed the Tashlikh ritual.  The children were taught that Tashlikh is the way we show our regret for past “mistakes”.

Now we will be ready for “Yom Kippur”!

Please sign the paper.

Yom Kippur workbook:
we are learning about Yom Kippur from our workbook.

I will send the workbook home B"H on Monday to review and keep at home.

-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 discovered that it is a new month (Tishrei) and a new Hebrew year ( תשע"ט).

                                                                                              

"Aseret Yemei Teshuva”

We also counted (in Hebrew) ten days from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur and we now understand that these days are called Aseret Yemei Teshuva (TEN days of Repentance).  This activity helped us reinforce our Hebrew counting skills and provided us with a better understanding of the Jewish calendar.

Shabbat Shuvah

Between Rosh Hoshanah and Yom Kippur we have a special Shabbat called “Shabbat Shuva”.  Shabbat Shuva (Shabbat of Return) is devoted to “teshuva”, which means “repentance” in Hebrew.
