We have been talking about the importance of owning our Jewish Life. By this, I mean every student is beginning to understand they are responsible for creating a comfortable place in their lives to live Jewish everyday. In our Tuesday afternoon discussions we have been learning the way to to do this is through Avodah. For our classroom discussions, Avodah is the work we do by exploring our personal and communal role in Revelation, in order to find sacred connections to God, community and our self.
We are slowly learning this relationship is ongoing and starts when we are infants. Our families have been teaching us about this connection throughout our lives and we will continue to learn and work to build this connection. In other words, our Jewish connection to GOD is an ongoing process we work at developing during our lifetime.
We had a nice visit from Megan Topper this week and she joined our class for a short time this week. Our students were most gracious, and she truly appreciated the kindness and warmth demonstrated when welcoming her into our classroom.
Have a Spectacular Shabbat, and I look forward to seeing everyone Sunday Morning.
