And Mohammed too!


Today we continued our brief unit on the religions of Israel with a lesson on Islam. We read about the story of Mohammed and some of the main beliefs and practices of Muslims. To conclude our unit I've asked every student to research holy sites in Israel of each of the three faiths - the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock. This brief homework assignment is due next Tuesday.

We've moved on to the Shabbat Morning Kedusha and are zipping right through a prayer that I thought would be very tricky to master. It's a strong testament to how much everyone's reading has progressed this year.
