An Akiba MS Judaic Studies Blog
This week’s פרשה is מקץ. 
(Just in case…:))
When פרעה wakes up from each of his dreams, what is similar in the פסוק and what is different? Why do you think (or LIU) there is that difference?
If you have any suggestions for answers, email your thoughts!
Have a great day!
It has been quite a while!
For 6th/7th: Under the powerpoints section on the sidebar, you can find the Chanukah ppt or click here
For 7th/8th: Next It’s a girl thing! is on January 3 @ Danielle Berman’s home (Lurie)
Hope to put up Torah questions of the day this week and next..
Hope you all have a great vacation and a Happy Chanukah!
Hope you had a meaningful Rosh Hashana! Wishing everyone a year of brachot (blessings)and hatzlacha(success) in every area.
In case, you wanted a quick reminder about Tzom Gedaliah you can read about it.
Hope you have an easy/meaningful fast.
See you tomorrow!
1. All MS: Save the date: Selichot for MS begins this Motzei Shabbat at 9:30 pm and ends about 11 pm. Student-led program and selichot included.
2. 8th graders: Dinner forms have been coming in. If you haven’t yet brought one in and are planning to be there, please fill it out and submit!
3. 8th graders: Thanks for your interest in service. I have some feedback from teachers and would love to get a clearer look at your interests so please pick up an application tomorrow.
4. 7th graders: If you haven’t completed the Chevron packet by tomorrow, you can have a working lunch on Thursday or Fri (if you’re in club or band) to complete it.
Have a great day!
Just to make sure you got the message. Due to conflicts for several group members, we won’t be meeting these two Sunday nights. We are looking to see if one day after school will work and will let you know.
Thanks!
As assembly ended later than expected today, we didn’t get a chance to talk to those potentially interested in joining this “extra learning”group. We are planning to begin meeting again this Sunday night @Starbucks-Preston/Royal. If you are interested about specifics please email Rav Jeff or myself to fill you in.
Best wishes for a Shabbat Shalom!
Mishna 8: For Wed:
1. If youhaven’t covered your Mishan yet, please do so!
2. Investigate the concept of “possession is 9/10 of the law” so that you can provide some working definition. You are not required to write this down.
Navi 7:
If you have questions regarding the ‘bonus’ of life support, feel free to email me.
Chumash 6:
Review pesukim a few minutes a night to improve your skill level!
Have a great night!
What a great first day we had yesterday! Looks like we are at the beginning of a wonderful year!
Reminders:
1. Sign Expectations
2. Cover your Navi
3. Review Kohlberg’s Stages (6thgraders)
Have a great night!
Types of questions: You can expect any and all of the following.

For the point by point review of both Sefer Shmuel Alef and Shmuel Bet, look under USEFUL DOCS to find the respective links. (These were distributed in class two weeks ago.)
If anyone is interested in anything else, please email me.
בהצלחה!
Hope you are enjoying the weather!
FYI:
1. Sample character maps templates which we reviewed in class yesterday were distributed today. It would be advantageous to fill this out for all Navi characters as you review.
2. A list of main events in each Perek/Chapter ((through what we are up to today and will do the rest after we conclude)) were distributed today. This could be used as a basic tool for chronology (sequencing) review.
3. Chumash in-class project/assessments are almost finished. There may be some remaining typing to be completed at home.
Have a great night.
