The Grade 8s are working on their Sukkot decorations
Getting ready for Sukkot
////Middle School Judaic Studies Update: G’mar Chatimah Tovah
//We have spent the first few weeks in Jewish Studies focusing on the High Holidays. Students had the opportunity to show off their Shofar blowing skills.
This past week we discussed the various customs associated with Yom Kippur. Students were then asked to read and answer questions from the attached document regarding the various steps to repentance. Students have been asked to reflect upon this reading and answer the following question: How are you going to make Yom Kippur a more meaningful experience for yourself this year?
I hope everyone has a meaningful and easy fast.

Why Do We Blow the Shofar Document
//Good evening OJCS parents and students,
This has been a wonderful first week of school! In Middle School Judaic Studies (grades 6-8) we have been focusing on starting off the new year right! Students participated in a S.M.A.R.T. (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, timely) goal setting activity relating to Rosh Hashanah. Today students were asked to read and discuss “We We Blow the Shofar”.

Read the opening mishna on your sheets, and figure out why the Mishna chose these four items that Hashem checks during the year. What is important about these four items, and can you think of modern day examples that relate to these four items?
Read the section of the Gemara of Rabbi Cruspedai who writes about the different books that are open on Rosh Hashanah and sealed on Yom Kippur. Answer the following questions: What books are we talking about?
What questions could you ask about the statement of Rabbi Cruspedai? How would you challenge his point that good people are sealed for life and evil people are not? How would you resolve this challenge?
Welcome ברוכים הבאים
//Dear families,
I would like to welcome you to my Ivrit class. Wonderful things and exiting projects are awaiting us this year, I would like to wish you a Shanna Tovah Umetukah!
phenomenal site for teaching sefer bereshit
//Those who are teaching sefer Bereshit should definitely check out www.929.org.il which provides a wealth of information and activities for people of all ages in the study of Torah. The site is in Hebrew as well as in English. One will find videos, art activities, summaries of each chapter, and articles about key points of each chapter. A student can develop a dvar Torah using this site. Highly recommended.
