Our beautiful garden

This week we celebrated a very special day on the Chassidic calendar, the 10th of shvat. A day when our Rebbe became the Rebbe. We learnd what a Rebbe is and how when we connect to a special Tzaddik (righteous person) it helps us connect to Hashem.

Practicing writing Rebbe in Hebrew and the date.

Learning about the order of the 7 Chabad Rebbes. Shmuel writing the word Rebbe and created a garden scene.

We learned how this world is like a garden. We beautify this world with our mitzvahs.

Yanky and Sholom following a step-by -step instructions on how to make flowers.

Our own school is named a garden! And our friends are constantly filling this world with so many beautiful mitzvah moments.

How can I connect to the Rebbe?

We created different Mitzvah scenes that can bring Moshiach something the Rebbe dedicated his life to!

Making a connecting chain of all of our Mitzvahs, this was such great teamwork!

This week's Parsha Bashalach we learned about the splitting of the sea. 

Chanie and Chana Rochel creating the ocean and the Jewish people walking on the dry land.

Working hard on an ocean puzzle.

This Shabbos is also called 'Shabbos Shira', when the Jewish people sang thank you to Hashem for letting them leave Mitzrayim and getting them safely through the splitting of the sea.

There is a custom to feed the birds since the Jewish children fed the birds from the fruit trees growing on the dry land in the sea.

It was a fun process placing peanut butter and bird seed in an egg carton.

We have also been getting ready for Tu B'shvat. We learned how the sap is starting to come in the Tree and blossoms are growing. There are different Mitzvahs in the Torah that depends on how old the tree's is. This cycle starts on the new year for the trees on Tu B'shvat. 

Creating our own trees by tracing and practicing our writing skills.

Using blossoming tree pictures as inspiration to decorate our tree.

Arik working on his family tree. 

        Tzerei vowel practice by hole punching two dots under the different letters on the leaves.

Tu B'shvat is on the 15th of the month. We practiced our number counting by placing fifteen beads on the pipe cleaners. Esther loves creating patterns.
