Today in the Tel Aviv class read the book, "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. We discussed all the wonderful things trees give us and the wonderful things we can give each other. Not only can we give friends art or share with them but we can also smile or give a friend a hug when he or she is sad. Helping each other are everyday mitzvahs. This week we are going to be working on creating a mitzvah tree so that we can record and announce the mitzvahs that happen in our classroom all the time. Today we focused on paining the tree but soon we will make handprint-leaves where we can record our mitzvahs. Hopefully by spring/summer our mitzvah tree will be in full-bloom!

No wonder Rachel has been picking this book at bedtime almost every night this month.
