Torah Challenge of the Day- Monday

mirtbaum — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 13:11:01 +0000

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!

Matmidim postponed tonight and next week

mirtbaum — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:12:19 +0000

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!

Matmidim Begins Again

mirtbaum — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:59:37 +0000

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!

Navi Final Study Guide Sheets

mirtbaum — Tue, 17 May 2011 14:23:33 +0000

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.
