I am so excited to be teaching this group again this year! The 6th grade theme is unity, so we started off the year talking about how our differences only make us stronger. We examined this picture of the Israelites lining up at the beginning of Bamidbar. What do you think of their structure? Why does structure matter? Students have been pondering which structures in their own lives are helpful and meaningful. As we explore Bamidbar, we will talk about laws/structures with which the Israelites continually struggle.

What structures (this can mean laws, values, holidays, traditions, etc.) within Judaism do you struggle with?
