Kitah Bet

This month in theme, Kitah Bet has been learning all about Israel and its bodies of water. After learning about the Kinneret, the Jordan River and Israel’s National Water Carrier, they were challenged to create a newspaper ad, which explains to Israelis the purpose of Israel’s National Water Carrier. Liat, Pemberley, Dex, and Ariel share their newspaper ads, this week.

Kitah Dalet

Kitah Dalet learned about the 4 halachot, or laws, of Purim.  In small groups they then created ‘tweets’ of 140 characters or fewer, about these halachot in a clear and witty way that highlights their understanding of the text.
