Thank you to the families who joined us for our day of learning on Sunday morning. It was nice to share some time together, and have you participate in our chevruta type of learning. Our students are extremely bright and articulate, and it was a pleasure to hear each of them share their thoughts in such a respectful way. As many of you know, our goal in Kitah Dalet is to help our students understand their responsibility to make the world a better place by building relationships with GOD, other people, and the community at large. We constantly push our students to think about their actions, and challenge them to do the right thing, even when it is difficult.
On Tuesday afternoon, we continued our discussion about being leaders, and the importance of making choices that have a positive effect on the world. We shared our thoughts about having a negative impact on others, and how when we follow others, we don't always make the best choices. As promised, we watched a short video clip on Cain and Abel, and saw how we are indeed our brother's keepers. Of course, we now understand that "brother" refers to community and others, and we must step up and care for others as well as ourselves.
As the year comes to an end, I want to wish you and those you love, a happy and healthy new year, and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Tuesday, January 5, 2016.
