Last week was pretty intense with quizzes. On Friday there will be a Navi quiz and a small quiz in Mishna. A Mishna packet will also be due on Friday.
In Navi we are up to chapter 24. David is on the run from Shaul and David must show courage in the face of danger and restraint when he has the chance to kill Shaul.
In Mishna we are continuing our introduction to gemara. We are studying the generations of the Amoraim, the sources of Torah Sh'ba'al Peh, the structure of a page of gemara and the Talmud's style of debate. We are also making flash cards of basic gemara vocabulary to give us a head start for next year. The students are having fun making their video introductions to Talmud.
In Dinim last week we learned about the laws of respecting and standing for your elders and the wise. It was fun learning these halakhot on grandpeople's day. Every time a grandperson walked in the students were able to stand up and do the mitzvah they were learning about. We also studied the significance of the death of Rabbi Akiva's students during the period between Pesach and Shavuot. This week we will be learning the laws of borer.
