Dear Parents,

I am looking forward to seeing you on Monday, Nov 12 for the Parent Teacher conferences.

Kabalat Shabbat:

Last
Friday we started a special Kabalat Shabbat program in our class.

Every
week we will have one boy for “Abba Shel Shabbt” and one girl for “Ima Shel
Shabbat from each class.

We
will make a Kiddush over grape juice and “Hamotzi” over the Challah.

This
week Kabalat Shabbat was sponsored by: Mrs. Salver.

Thank
you to the Salver Family.

We
will be sending out a google doc for any parents who would like to sponsor a
Kabalat Shabbat program during this year.

First
Grade Album:

We are working on a special album that includes all the subjects we are
learning in “Tal-Am”.

 If you have not yet sent in a
picture, please send ASAP to school.

two of the following pictures (4”x6”)

1. A picture of the outside of your child’s house. (It can be with your
child next to it or without him/her).

2. A picture of your child’s family (a group picture of as many members
of the family as possible).

These pictures are very important for our learning in class!

You can Email me the picture and I will print it.

“My
library” הַסִפְרִיָה שֶלִי - "

 This week we learned the questions: “מי בכיתה?” and “?מי לא בכיתה”
(Who is in the class? Who is not in the class?)  We also read the story
called “Shachar Ba’Kitah?” that told us that – שחר לא
בכיתה שחר בבית כי שחר חולה“Shachar Lo Bakita Shachar Ba’Bayit Ki
Shacar Hole’”   (Shachar is not in the class.  Shachar is at home because Shachar is sick!).
We learned that you wish a " רפואה   שלמה"
(speedy recovery) to someone who sick. We made a “Refuah Shelemah” card for
Shachar.

Ariot:

This week is
Sabrina’s turn to take home Ariot.

Parashat
Hashavua

This Friday
you will find in their folder a picture page with a summary of the story of
Parashat: “תולדות” (Toldot). We learned
that Rivkah had twin boys: Esav and Yaakov. We learn about their differences.
We learned the story of how Esav sold the birthright to Yaakov for a bowl of
lentil soup.

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.

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 Mitzvah to lend money to someone who needs it. We learned that you cannot ask the person to pay you back more money than he borrowed. This is called “neshech” or interest.

Shabbat Shalom,
