Not Your Typical Parsha Class

Parsha class, at The Hebrew Academy, is an opportunity for students to learn, discover and understand. as they personalize the weekly lessons of the Torah. In Parshas Lech Lecha, Hashem tested Avraham, by telling him to leave his homeland - the place he knew, and go to the land that He would show him. Without knowing where he was going Avraham trusted and followed Hashem. Our Kindergarten students opened this conversation by first experiencing what Avraham did. By embarking on a surprise path, through our kindergarten center, in a safe fun way the students were able to better appreciate the experience. Teachers lovingly guided the children through the fun path that led to deep conversations in the classroom. What better way to appreciate the qualities of Avraham than by relating to his experience. The Hebrew Academy's rich Judaic program creates opportunities for students to engage in the learning process in a deeper way. These hands-on experience create opportunities for critical thinking, personalization enriching the educational experiences for our students.
