Sunday: In the UHS Siddur read and discuss page v about the Sh'ma and V'ahavta. Then ask students for 3 or 4 "idols" that distract people today from thinking first of God. Look through the V'ahavta--in the textbook or on page 26 and 27of the UHS siddur. In the English count how many times you find the word "your" or "you". In Hebrew, how many times do you find the suffix ךָ Practice reading the V'ahavta, frontwards, and then starting with the last word, read the words one by one to be sure the students can actually read each word. Homework: Read the V'ahavta at least 7 times this week. Any word you have trouble with, read carefully till you are good at saying it.
Letter to parents: Dear Gimmel Parents, We had a great first day at Hebrew School! The students practiced the V'ahavta on p. 28 and 29 of the Hebrew Text and talked a lot about the meaning of the prayer. Their homework is to get a binder for class. For Sunday and all following Hebrew Classes, students should bring their text book, class book, homework book, and a binder. Thanks for your help with this. I look forward to working with you and your children. G'mar Chatima Tova. Carin Simon
