Yom Kippur is HERE

This week we said bye to Rosh Hashana and HELLO to Yom Kippur! (Day of Atonement)

It is a day that Hashem will judge us favorably! For that we are going to remind Hashem how good we are. That's why we spend most of the day davening.

Our class became a shul and we role played Yom Kippur davenings. 

It is a custom to wear white on Yom Kippur to make us look like angles!

We watched Shlomi the puppet put on his white Kittle (robe) for Yom Kippur.

On Yom Kippur we do not wear leather shoes, so we made our own slippers we can wear!

We played a fun sorting game using our shoes.

The days leading up to Yom Kippur is a time for Teshuvah, Tefilah and Tzedakah.

We made sure to have extra kavana (concentration) at davening circle. And every day this week we gave extra Tzedakah!

On Yom Kippur we read the story of Yonah. We watched a show about Yonah!

And role played the story with waterplay! The water beads were a fun sensory experience!

Oh no! the whale got Nechama H! 😊

After Yom Kippur we are going to celebrate Sukos! We build a Suka together!

Creating our own Sukka and decorations!

Leah is showing us how to shake the Lulav & Esrog! (Up, down, right, left, forward, backward)

Rabbi Lang came to do a special rally to pray for all the Jewish people in Israel and in the entire world!ֿ

Academics

We have been learning about why leaves change color/fall off trees in autumn.

 

We also made some leaf rubbings!

Aftercare

The children did a hands on, fun, STEM experiment. This was a sweet way to continue to involve apples  but also explore science concepts and beginning chemistry reactions.

Catapult Away….

Sometimes we make mistakes and that’s ok we can always learn from them. The children wrote down a mistake and will remember to stay focus and take aim to not make it happen again!

Have a meaningful Yom Kippur and Shabbat Shalom!
