Shalom Horim/ Parents,
With the drama of the High Holydays and the pageantry of Sukkot and Simchat Torah now complete, I am looking forward to be-ginning the BRHS year in earnest. During the first weeks of the term our focus was primarily on the Jewish holidays we were celebrating. In preparation for Simchat Torah, many classes began their studies of the biblical text whether as simple stories in the younger grades or as step-ping stones for the study of the myriad of midrashim (rabbinic interpre-tations) created by our sages of blessed memory through the genera-tions of our people in the upper grades. Our Torah and Bible curriculum takes the idea of parshat ha-shavuah– the weekly Torah portion as its starting point, by emphasizing to our students that the study of Torah is on going activity of Jews. Some grades will use materials that follow the weekly Torah portion being read in the synagogue. In the younger grades, the weekly study of Torah will focus on introducing significant biblical figures and learn-ing values from these narratives. Our Grade 5 students will be using material that will take them beyond the text and help them create their own midrashim (creative interpretations). Grades 6 and 7 students will be introduced to the Nevi’im (Prophets) section of the Bible as the source of the Haftarah readings charted on Shabbat. The students will study about the various prophets whose words we hear in the synagogue echoing through the centuries. It is my hope that this material will engage all our students in the study of Torah while showing them how the enduring values of our scripture can have meaning in their lives. B’vracha, Rabbi David M. Eligberg

News from the classrooms Grade 2B- Miriam Warner Broocheem Habaeem....Welcome back! Our first day was filled with much excitement as we greeted old friends and welcomed new students Daniel Koven and Nathan Rosenthal to our class. We were "blown away" by Rabbi Eligberg's shofar blowing demonstration and learned new concepts from the many interesting questions we asked. We look forward to more fun and interactive learning experiences this year.
