Grade 7 Ivrit class presented their beautiful VR projects
On Thursday, my wonderful Grade 7 students presented their VR projects on Tzfat. I’m so very proud of their work and dedication towards this project.
Unfortunately you aren’t able to watch them through the special goggles, just know it looks really awesome through there.
Sarah and Yamaya’s Tzfat Project
Jenny and Jordan’s Tzfat Project
Enjoy the projects!

Grade 6 Luach Assignment (Calendar)
This week Grade 6 worked on their holiday assignment. Many of the students know about the Chagim (holidays) but are not aware where the laws, customs, and traditions are derived from. We introduced the Shulchan Aruch, Rambam, and other Talmudic type sources.
The students will be presenting their findings to the whole class.

Grade 8 Weekly Round-Up
An amazing week!!! The students started to present their case studies. One student discussed, according to Judaism, what is our responsibility towards individuals in need. Are there charitable organizations we should prioritize?
Another case study focused on Tattoos. If one survives a life-threatening illness can one celebrate life with a Tattoo? If grandchildren of Holocaust survivors want to tattoo their grandparents’ numbers on their arms, is that acceptable?
I look forward to the rest of the presentations upon our return.
Below is one of our presentations:
