Welcome to sixth, seventh and eighth grade Jewish Studies with Gev. Honigman. Students will be using their minds, hearts, and hands to explore what it means to be a Jew in 2018. Among other topics, sixth graders will take a deep dive into text study, looking at the Book of Esther and bringing Purim to life at school. Seventh graders will learn from Sefer Shmuel and put King David on trial. Eighth graders will examine how the choices made before, during and after the Holocaust affect the choices they make now.

Check here for updates, pictures, and documentation of learning. For specific classes, please click on “6th Jewish Studies,” “7th Jewish Studies”, or “8th Jewish Studies.” My main feed will be a compilation of Upper School learning, Jewish life at MJDS, and my own learning about Judaism and Jewish education.

Thank you for being invested in your child’s Jewish growth. Shabbat Shalom!
