We had such a great day of learning and fun at Hebrew School! 

Morah Frumies class learned this week about Hachnasat Orchim- the mitzva of inviting guest. 

We learned that Abraham was the first Jew in history to teach us about this mitzvah. He lived in the desert and would always invite travelers into his tent for a rest and drink. Our class got a special surprise of Abraham "visiting" our classroom and bringing us into "his" home for a treat! The friends got to go to Morah Frumies home for a treat- allowing her to fulfill the mitzva of Hachanast Orchim! 

Morah Gnendy class continued learning about Davening and the prayers they say at Hebrew School. 

This week they learned that just like any community helper wears a uniform i.e. a police officer or firefighter  so too the "uniform" of a Jewish boy is wearing a Yalmukah and Tzitzit. They also learned about the prayer of Harini Mikabel- every day accepting upon ourselves to love our fellow friend as yourself. They then played a fun game, a hunt in partners, exemplifying the idea of being kind to one another and working with together.

Morah Shaindy class learned about their first Jewish Heroes- Adam and Eve. 

They learned that G-d created Adam from the dirt in the ground and G-d created Eve from a piece of Adams limb. They were the first humans on earth. The class had a great time tracing themselves out of "dirt" and learning about this week Jewish Hero. 

We are continuing our studies in Aleph Champ and learning lots!
