There will be greater emphasis on mastering Hebrew decoding skills, as well as building a vocabulary of useful words. Students will begin a deeper exploration of the meaning of God in our lives; learn about Israel with the goal of making a personal connection; understand general concepts of prayer and its place in our living world and how Tzedakah(righteous Giving) and Tikkun Olam (making the world a better place) are connected to our Torah.
