ISRAEL DAY @ Chabad Hebrew School

To celebrate the Holiday of Tu B'Shvat (15th of Shevat) we had a full day of fun in Hebrew School! Since it's customary to eat from the 7 foods of Israel we had Israel Day with booths and learning all about the Holy Land and it's special foods. The 7 special foods are Wheat, Barley, Grapes, Dates, Pomegranate, Olives & Figs.

Mini Chefs: Tu B'Shvat! 

Happy Birthday to the trees!

At Mini Chefs the kids are able to use their baking/cooking and of course, eating abilities to the max! The children also come away with the knowledge of measurements and quantities from following the recipes given to them.

This holiday revolves all around trees and what comes from them so we centered around fruits and veggies for this Mini Chefs class. The children first got to make the batter for delicious carrot muffins! While those were baking they got to make their own fruit kabobs and drown them in chocolate!

The boys learned and practiced how to make the brachos (blessings) before the reading of the Torah, which every Bar Mitzvah boy gets to do. 
After the learning, the boys prepared, cooked and ate nachos!! Then they were able to go home with great gifts!

Our Step Up Club is going along extremely well and the girls are having a great time! The theme we're focused on this year is "A Thread of Kindness".

This past meeting we focused on the Mitzvah of tzedakah (charity) and how there are actually 8 different levels to giving charity!

 

 

After learning we had some fun spray

Step Up -- Meeting #2!!

In continuation of our "Thread of Kindness" theme, we started our meeting off with watching a short movie/clip, and what goes perfectly with that?? Popcorn of course!!

We learned that even if you don't see it, every good thing you do, no matter how big or small, has an affect on the world that is bigger than you'll ever realize!

Our third meeting was a load of fun!

"It's not all Black & White"

We learned this from one of our foremothers, Rochel.

Rochel was betrothed to Yaakov. Knowing that her father was a sly man and might switch Rochel for her sister Leah, gave her signs so that he'll know if he was marrying the right sister. Lavan (Rochel's father) did indeed switch the two sisters and sent Leah to marry Yaakov. Rochel now had the choice to either give the signs away and in turn give away her chance to marry Yaakov, or keep the signs to herself and end up with the embarrassment of her sister.

She chose to give up her signs. We learn from her that sometimes choices are not always as simple as we would like them to be.
