Sunday, February 1

This Superbowl Sunday was full of action in Kitah Zayin!

We talked about propaganda.  What is it?  How does it work? What is its purpose? In pairs, the kids had the opportunity to look at and discuss examples of Nazi propaganda.  Together, they came to understand how Hitler used propaganda to create an environment of fear and distrust in Germany during the 1930s. They ended class looking deeper into our modern world and identifying current examples of propaganda.

Sunday's special was art with Morah Sonya.  In art, the kids have been working on Peter Max inspired judaica paintings.  For those of you are not familiar with Peter Max, he is the artist who created the Beatles' Yellow Submarine album cover!  These painting will hang in the religious school lobby until the end of the year.  Then they are all yours!  They look great!

The kids have homework this week...and will every Sunday from now on! This week's assignment is to read chapter one of Maus: A Survivor's Tale.

Tu B'Shevat Sameach l'Kulam!
