New Books!

Thanks to Rosie, Josh and Jonah who had their reports on Ancient Canaan ready today. They presented interesting information about weaving, warfare and writing while the rest of us took notes.

Today we began our machberot - copy books for practicing Hebrew script.
We also began our new prayer textbook "Shalom Ivrit" level 2. We will use this book to study the text and meaning of the Shabbat Amidah.


After an extended recess in the sun, we reviewed the passages from the Torah that we studied on Thursday. We talked about how the Israelites must have felt just before they were to enter the land of Canaan. Why did God want them to fight and defeat so many nations? Was it fair to everyone involved? What did the Israelites need to do to distunguish themselves from the Canaanites?

We ended with another selection of the dvd "Walking the Bible". I love this show, originally aired on PBS. Here's a link:

I hope everyone had a joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Hope to see some comments from students and parents-
