Sukkot!

Dear Parents,

The children have been very busy this week learning all about the holiday of Sukkot!
We discussed the special Mitzvah (commandment from the Torah) to sit in a Sukkah.
In addition, we learnt about the Mitzvah of shaking and saying a special blessing on the "4 kinds"- a lulav (date palm frond), an etrog (citron), at least three hadassim (myrtle branches) and two aravot (willow branches)  


To help us understand some of the concepts of this holy day, we....

  • The children made a welcome sign for the sukkah in Hebrew.
  • The children decorated  :match it" cards to reinforce the topic of the 4 kinds that we shake on Sukkot. 
  • The children decorated their own hands on sukkah using various materials.
 We sang....a hebrew song for Sukkotr called


1.     "Ba, Ba, Chag Ha'sukkot Ba....Chag Sameach."
2.     "b'yom Rishon Om'rim Shalom....B'chag Ha'sukot, Chag Sa'me'ach"

May you have a joyous Sukkot!
