Dear Parents:

It was so great seeing all of the kids tonight after the break, and it was wonderful to be back together. We are moving forward in our exploration of Jewish history.  Today, we began discussing Hillel and Shammai – the kids even tried to answer the famous challenge of explaining all of Judaism while standing on one foot.  They did a good job, and no one fell over!  This is the beginning of our unit on Rabbinic debates, where we will continue to explore different issues that were debated throughout Jewish history, and how Jews have dealt with differences of opinions and found consensus.
