Our holidays continue... we have arrived at the week long celebration of Sukkot, followed by Shemini Atzerit and Simchat Torah!

Our 5th grade has learned about the important mizvot of building and sitting in the sukkah as well as gathering the 4 species -Arbah Minim - thought to represent the unity of Israel(palm, willows, myrtles that make the lulav along with the etrog).

We also learned the blessings associated with Sukkot. 5th graders certainly know how to do the Lulav Shake!

We will be treated to "Pizza in the Hut" next Wednesday(Thank you Ms. Judy!) and will then know that everyone in 5th grade has completed the Mitzvah of לשבת בסוכה (sitting in the sukkah).

חג שמח!
