This week in 5th grade, we spent some time reflecting on our year through the lense of Mitzvot(commandments). Students thought about some of the mitzvot they’ve done really well this past year, and they chose a which mitzvot they want to focus on in the new year. Some popular choices for the new year included “Keeping Peace in the Home(Shalom Bayit)” and “Help Repair the World(Tikkun Olam).” We encourage you to ask your students which mitzvot they have chosen to work on in the new year.
