Focus: To reunite Bet Sefer and Day School students as they jointly explore pubic speaking, friendship, Holocaust, Israel
Goals: Students will develop better public speaking goals in preparation for deliveriing a d’var Torah during their b’nai mitzvah ceremonies, using their own Torah portions as the basis. Students will understand ancient and modern concepts of friendship through both modern and ancient text lenses (Pirke Avot). Students will understand factors leading up to the Holocaust from a historical perspective and will interact with survivors in our own community. Students will have a better knowledge of the creation of the state of Israel and its importance to modern Jewish communities.
