Rabbi Elbaz's Sixth Grade Newsletter/ sept. 28th

B"H
Shalom U'vracha !
I hope you had a meaningful Yom Kippur and am sure you are busy preparing for the next holiday:Succot. We, too, in our sixth grade Judaic class are busy learning about Succot. We completed our study in the last two weeks of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur and have now started our Succot packet. The students were tested on the laws of Rosh Hashana and did quite well. In order to enhance our study of Succot we are having a mini Arbaat haMinim contest! The students are divided into 4 teams of Lulavim,Etrogim, Hadasim and Aravot and will compete in different categories connected to Succot. This will add some "simcha" to the important mitzvah of "V'samachta b'chagecha" that is vital to Chag haSuccot.
In Chumash we completed perek bet and after Succot we will have a test on prakim aleph and bet in Sefer Shmot. We will also start an interesting project: designing an ancient Egyptian city.
In Navi we are near completion of our second perek and here , too, the test will be after Succot.
Today your child will have another beautiful D'var Torah to share with you . Please encourage them to do so and return signed and decorated for our Yofi shel Parasha corner.
Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach!
Rabbi Elbaz
