PRIDE OF THE PACK

Many of our students braved the cold and snow this afternoon, and for those who attended, it was well worth the trip. We warmed up with a few bars of Adon Olam and our students practiced singing loud and proud.  The best way to practice Hebrew reading is to attend Shabbat services, so if you are available, try to stop in and join us on Saturday morning.

Our Torah Topic discussion continued with a small review of Noah.  We talked about what it is like to work hard creating or building something, only to have it  ruined by someone else.  Such was the case with GOD.  We talked about GOD creating the world and everything in it, and how the people of the time were rude and disrespectful.  So much so, GOD found it necessary to destroy the world. Our discussion led us to the idea of pride, and what it means to take pride in the work we do.  

Our students did a great job creating an acrostic for the word pride, and this will serve as our working definition for our future lessons.  Please ask your students to share some of their ideas of what it means to have pride in our work, and how taking pride in the things we do makes us better people, and helps us build relationships with GOD and those around us.     

P = Perseverance

R = Responsibility
I  = Integrity
D = Discipline
E= Empathy

Please plan on joining us Sunday, January 17, 2016, as we help make the world a little bit better by working together at our Day of Service Learning in honor of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
