PASSPORT TO FREEDOM

Next week at this time all of us will have had our fill of matza and the memories of another Seder will be gently stored. However, we still have plenty of time to explore the many laws and traditions Passover in our classroom, and that is exactly what we have been doing. We know we are commanded to teach the story of our Exodus to our children, and all future generations. We also know we are not to eat any leavened bread for seven days. These are indeed biblical laws, and commandments from the Torah. Then, the story gets a bit more vague. Of course we have the haggadah, a rubric for the evening, but we are free to use it as we see fit. We are encouraged to waiver from the ordered pages in order to include our children, and make the experience meaningful for all of those at the table. So, this year, we encourage to ask the children as many questions as you can, put them on the hot seat and make them think. They are well prepared to participate and they have a wealth of information to share. 

Thank you to the parents who participated in our Family Program. Our students worked hard to solve the lock box clues as we escaped from Egypt, and we had a great time learning along the way. To review many of the main themes in the Haggadah, and as a source of inspiration, we wrote Passover poems and shared our thoughts with our classmates. 

Tuesday afternoon is our Chocolate Seder, and our last class before Passover Break.  Enjoy the holiday, and we will see you on Tuesday, April 10, 2018.

GOD saved us from Egypt

And now we are saved

The bread would not rise

So it is flat and turned into matzah
