weekly letter

Dear Parents,

Last Friday we finished studying parashat Vayeitze.

We celebrated a “Siyum- breakfast” - it was a meaningful and fun time .

On Monday B”H we will start the new parasha -  Vayeishlach

We also started a new reading program.
The students received their first assignment.
Please encourage them to read as much as possible.

Holidays – We will be studying about Tu B’Shevat and a unit about blessings.

Projects –  Next week we  will be  busy with two projects:
1.  The meaning of each student’s name .
2.  The 12 Tribes.

Please do not Forget

Every Monday we will have a  Parashat Hashavua test.

Every Wednesday there will be a vocabulary test based mostly on our classes in Chumash and occasionally from Navi.

Every Thursday - Reading Homework is due - Students should read ten psukim.

Every Friday, the students will bring home their Parashat Hashavua sheets.  I encourage all parents to discuss these sheets with their children on Shabbat and return them to school on Mondays with your signature to show me that you worked together on this.

Attached to this letter, you will find the list of the vocabulary words.

Sincerely,

Moreh Dror  karavani 

Tu B'Shevat

Dear Parents,

     In honor of the upcoming Tu B'Shevat holiday and in conjunction with our Educational Bridge Program, we are going to plant fruit trees from the shivat ha'minim (the seven species- olives, dates, pomegranates, etc. ) in the Shiloh school in Kfar Saba, Israel.  The students there will help us fulfill the mitzvah of planting trees in Israel and we are going to help them fulfill the mitzvah of Birkat HaEelanot ( a special blessing thanking Hashem for the fruits of the trees). 

We are collecting $1 from each student

and encouraging everyone to participate in this endeavor.  

Thank you.
