Judaic Studies
Advanced Middle School Judaics
In our Mishnah Class we have been learning Megillat Ruth and finished the $ Chapters thus week. As posted, I scheduled an Exam for next Friday, June 14th, the day after Shavuot for Megillat Ruth. Please encourage your child to study over this week and be prepared.
In our Chumash class, we are finishing the story of Biraishit and will be celebrating on June 18th at Holy Schnitzel for lunch. Please do not send in a lunch for that day. It is a great accomplishment that we have basically done and learned the entire Sefer Biraishit and worthy of this celebration. I am very proud of the class and hope they remember all that we learned.

Bamidbar-The Jewish people are now in the midbar .
In this week’s parsha we learn howmuch Hashem loves each and every Jew , that he keeps on counting them/us.
Men alone,ages 20-60 numbered 603,550! That is extremely incredible especially considering that there were also males ages 0-20 years and 60 and above, and as many females. This number 2as accumulated in only 210 years after a humble beginning of only 70 individuals who originally entered Egypt.
We learned about the encampment in the desert/wilderness and the order of travel.
Eac camp had their own unique flag with colors and animals depicted on it. I heard from my son who heard from his Rebbie-Rabbi that the flag was there to remind all of them of their unique talents. We should all recognize our own talents and use them effectively to live a life of a proper Jew serving Hashem.

In ELA, students wrapped up their novel study units and were working on their essays. In Social Studies, we continued on our chapter on the middle ages.
