As the end of the year quickly approaches, we are preparing for units on Purim, Passover, and Shavuot observances, and the Jewish traditions, laws, and customs concerning dating, marriage, divorce, death and dying.
Our Life Cycle Unit on Death and Dying will begin on Sunday, March 13, 2011, and will commence on Sunday, March 27, 2011 with our Family Education Trip to the Ira Kaufman Funeral Chapel. Please plan on joining us as we take a behind the scenes tour, ask questions, and learn about traditional Jewish burial customs.
In past years, this topic has been quite interesting for the students, as they seem to have many questions concerning this often taboo subject. The unit is taught in a sensitive, safe, and non-threatening manner, but may be an uncomfortable topic for some students. Please take a few minutes to discuss the curriculum with your children and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
