Week of February 9

Written By Kenny Brown

Shalom all,

This week we focused on  טוּ בִּשְׁבָט (Tu Bishvat), getting the chance to experience this special holiday in several ways.

The kids learned the 2 blessings we say when eating fruit and vegetables and each learned to say their favorite fruit/vegetable in Hebrew.

We created watercolor art, the theme being Tu Bishvat and connecting to nature.

On Wednesday we practiced the new blessing when we had סָלַט פֵּרוֹת   (fruit salad), had fun creating a Mitzvah tree listing Mitzvot they will try to accomplish this year, and each kid also created their own personal tree with a Mitzvah they have done. We also played Tu Bishvat trivia.

 Shabbat Shalom,

Richie
