                                    Rabbi Elbaz’s Fourth Grade Judaic Newsletter/

                                    Nov. 2

We had a very productive week in Kita Daled. In Chumash we continued working on our Chumash vocabulary and learning about Yaakov’s first days in Lavan’s house. We will be dramatizing the scene of Yaakov meeting the shepherds and his cousin, Rachel, at the well, on Monday using Chumash language and translating it to modern Ivrit ( Hebrew). In this way the students will use the new vocabulary in a meaningful and fun way. We will have costumes and props, too. During this coming week, we will progress towards the birth of the shevatim ( tribes) and learn a few Rashi’s.

In Navi we completed our project on Bnei Yisrael’s preparation in entering Eretz Yisrael and presented it to the class. We will work on completing perek bet this week and start learning about the conquest of Yericho. Our next project will be building a model of Yericho in order to emphasize the magnitude of the miracle Hashem did for Bnei Yisrael in its conquest of this city.

This week the children once again learned about the parsha and hopefully shared the D’var Torah and questions and answers with you. Please sign and return so I know they shared this with you.

We continued our rehearsals for our Chanuka play and the children are doing a really good job!

Shavua Tov!

Rabbi Elbaz
