We will return to our regularly scheduled lessons and talk about the synagogue as a house of prayer, or Beit Teffilah. Students will learn the ways that Jews pray and will talk about (and hopefully try on) the special clothing Jews wear during prayer. At the end of the lesson, we will have the chance to write our own Jewish prayers and to decorate kippot to wear in teffilah at the end of Hebrew school.
During Hebrew we will be learning the letter DALET, which makes a sound like a "D". After this lesson, we will have covered 6 letters. Students can now read actual words like Shabbat and shalom.
We will also be having our second Reading Raffle with the whole school tomorrow, before teffilah. In case this is still unclear, each week students bring home a sheet for Hebrew reading practice and an orange card. Every time your child practices reading the Hebrew sheet, sign the card. Completed cards will then be turned in once a month for a chance to win the Reading Raffle. It is really important for retention that students practice what we've learned throughout the week, and Reading Raffle is a great way to reward students for their hard work.
