Mitzvah Villages Under Construction
This week the 5th graders started building their mitzvah villages out of cardboard and recycled materials. Each group has chosen ten mitzvot on which to base their society and they are building the infrastructure to make those mitzvot possible. For example, in order to accomplish the mitzvah of visiting the sick, some groups are building a hospital with a visiting center. The students have been very focused and hard at work making the plans for their villages come to life.
