On Sunday, many of the students had the opportunity to use the new interactive SMART board under the watchful eye of our new media specialist, Shaindle Braunstein. After working together in the classroom and learning about the lunar and solar calendars, the cycles of the moon, and the relationship between the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars, students used a perpetual Hebrew Calendar to find their Hebrew Birthdays. We compared the solar and lunar calendars and learned how to convert the current year into the Hebrew year.
After completing a variety of classroom activities, students proceeded to the Board Room where they used the SMART board to navigate around a several Jewish Websites. lt was really quite interesting to see how the Hebrew calendar, the Jewish holidays, the seasons, and the cycles of the moon are all related. Finally, many of the students had the opportunity to use the Internet to find their Hebrew birth date.
For homework, students were encouraged to visit the website Chabad.org and print out a Hebrew Birthday Certificate for Sunday. This is the site we used.

Please visit the site with your family, and spend some time on the computer together. Have a great week, and enjoy the last little bit of fall together.
