2nd Grade: L’dor V’dor, the Stories of Our Ancenstors

Jewish Studies

Tuesdays/Wednesdays Jewish Studies with Haley

We missed our students on Tuesday when Yachad was closed for Rosh Hashanah, but hope you hear about what we are working on and are excited to learn when we return together in a couple weeks. On Wednesday, students learned all about the stories and traditions that make us Jewish. We learned the Jewish value of L’dor V’dor or from generation to generation and how as Jews we have a long tradition of passing stories and ritual objects through generations. We read the story The Keeping Quilt and learned how one family made a quilt to remember their ancestors and passed it down to their children to tell the story of their family. Then, we each made our own quilt squares with drawings of traditions in their family and objects that make us feel Jewish. Soon, we will have a quilt made up of all our 2nd grade traditions.
