This week our class began to prepare for our first lesson as apart of our TIPES Mitzvah Project. Next week our students will be meeting with a program coordinator from TIPES to learn more about the students we will be partnering with.
We watched and discussed a video that highlighted the strengths and challenges that many people face on the Autism Spectrum. The video did a great job providing students with tips and suggestions as they prepare to meet their new friends.

Lastly, we discussed the connection between this program and our Jewish values. How can you incorporate gemilut hasadim (acts of loving kindness) into your life?
