Today in the second grade....


Today we will be celebrating Sukkot, the next in our current string of holidays, which begins tomorrow night. We will continue our conversation from last week about how Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are meant to wipe our slates clean, so Sukkot starts our new year out with joy, with simha. We be making decorations for the synagogue's sukkah by writing our wishes for a joyous new year on strips of paper and stringing them into a paper chain. Our celebration will continue with some Sukkot songs and hopefully we will get to shake the lulav & etrog in the sukkah ourselves!

In Hebrew, we will be learning the letter LAMED, which makes a sound like an "L". We will also be learning a new vowel HOLAM which sounds like "oh". The picture at the top of this post is a review of what we covered.

For homework help, please refer to the workbook's website: www.tiyulim.torahaura.com
We're on lesson 4.

Hope you all have a happy Sukkot!
