Hebrew and judaics

Shalom,

We are now working on the High Holidays and using our Shanah Tovah books. We are discussing the concepts of forgiveness and the meaning of a fast day. We talked about the Kol Nidrei- the beautiful part of the service of Yom Kippur. The children heard the story that is being read on Yom Kippur : :"Yonah And The People Of Ninivah . We practiced an old ritual called "Kaparot", using a dollar bill and recited the appropriate words.The money will go toward tzdakah. In Hebrew class, we are about to finish the letter Bet. The dictation test will be given next week. Thank you all for signing the homework and for your cooperation. Shanah Tovah and Chatima Tovah. Ayelet Kboudi.
