Susan H Judaica Lesson 3/17
Shabbat Shalom, Hay Students!
Even though we start the morning half asleep sometimes, your discussions are inevitably riveting & insightful. That’s what I’ll miss most by being online…so, feel free to reach out & discuss in an email! I’m at tsbhicks@gmail.com.
So what to do?
You’re all, no doubt, reading so much…I’ve decided to forego our usual plan of starting-with-a-story for now.
The last time we were together – you did fabulously well with our game.
I have a few more categories. I’ll include the ones we’ve already done…even though you know them! (Reminder: your answer is in the form of a question.)
This way, you can easily play with your families!
Did you notice? I didn’t include the answers/questions…Tune in next time to get those!
The next part is all you:
Create & design your own Shabbat School Jeopardy!
Begin by listing three (3) categories that have something to do with any of our studies so far (i.e.: Shabbat, Prophets, etc.). It can be tricky without your notebooks…feel free to use a reference - a Siddur (prayerbook), a Bible, the internet.
The only restriction is that we have to have learned something about it when we were together.
Once you have your categories, create three (3) statements for each one & list your answer (in the form of a question!). Feel free to use a chart like mine – just add a column for answers/questions.
Perhaps this chart will help:
These are The Prophets we learned about:
And...last, but not least – consider this statement about The Prophets and Social Action:
We are the heirs of the great Jewish religious tradition which conceives of its ultimate goal as the establishment of God’s truth and justice on earth.
The God whom we serve is a God of righteousness who would have us be holy as God is holy.
The Torah which we cherish is a guide for spiritual living concerned with every aspect of human experience.
The Prophets of Israel, dedicated to God and the welfare of all people, demanded that we pursue justice, seek peace, and establish good relationships among all of God’s creatures.
(This was written in 1955 by members of the Reform Movement.)
Things to consider:
What is the job of a prophet? What was most important to the prophets?
