There is no school on Wednesday this week. But why?? The Jewish people are celebrating the holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot is the day in the Jewish calendar that we celebrate receiving the Ten Commandments and the Torah. It is said that Moses received these from God on top of Mount Sinai. It is also said that on the day that God received these works, Mount Sinai bloomed with flowers from bottom to summit, despite being in the desert.
In the Haifa class, we began to build our own Mount Sinai! With the help of packing peanuts and a bowl, we created our own mountain that will bloom with flowers tomorrow!
