Kita+Bet+Homework

=Kita Bet Homework= Monday, 9/21/09

Tonight’s homework had three options:


 * 1) Complete page 18 in the Jewish holidays of the month of Tishrei workbook: Highlight the words Tekiah, Shevarim, and Tru-ah - all sounds of the Shofar.


 * 1) Complete page 20 in the same workbook: write the steps of Tshuva that correspond with the pictures. The top of the page shows the sequence of Hebrew language. Tshuva is the process of:


 * 1) “Thinking” and recognizing your own unkind actions.
 * 2) Taking responsibility for your actions by admitting what you did was wrong.
 * 3) Asking for forgiveness: Saying “selicha” (sorry) to the person that you were unkind to.
 * 4) Reflecting afterwards when you’ve made amends. “Tov” (Good) - You worked it out!


 * 1) Complete both assignments and earn a “gulah” (marble) towards a class party,

Tomorrow night’s homework will be practicing a song that teaches an alternative name for the holiday of Rosh Ha’Shana: Yom Teruah. (The Day of the Shofar Blast). The song reminds us that it is a mitzvah (commandment) to hear the sound of the Shofar. I will encourage the children to practice this song over the phone with their homework buddies (or anyone in the class who is available
