Let's Explore Being Jewish: Mitzvot - Carol Silverman
We will be learning more about mitzvot (commandments) and how they relate to all areas of our lives - the practice of our rituals, our relationship with God and with our families and friends, and our responsibilities to our environment. Students explore these themes in a hands-on way each week to build Jewish identity, instill a sense of pride, and help make Judaism meaningful and relevant. Everything that we do is embedded in Jewish values. Learning mitzvot and values help our students to be good people who make decisions that positively impact the world. We don’t simply learn about Jewish values, we live them!
