Today's class focused on Tzedakah for the organization Yemin Orde. This is an organization for youth that our 5th Grade feels passionate about. They decided to have each class decorate a Tzedakah box and then have a contest for who could raise the most money. The learning component of this lesson will be to understand what seperates Tzedakah from charity. The homework is attached.

Star Bangled Banner/Hatikva Comparison
This past week we looked at the words of the United States and Israeli national anthems. Students were challenged to think about the differences in the two. We then sang both anthems.
Students were asked to go towards whichever statement they agreed most with. The options were:
The Hatikva is the anthem for Israelis
The Hatikva is the anthem for the Jewish Israelis
The Hatikva is the anthem for the Jews
This lead to a very interesting discussion about statehood and peoplehood.
