A Big Idea for the Academy curriculum is to go back in time as far as possible in order to search for wisdom and inspiration from the past and apply it to our own modern lives.
As we approach Rosh HaShana, we get acquainted with the primary source of both wisdom and inspiration in Jewish tradition by examining the Torah. Throughout the year, we are going to read from the Book of Genesis in the hope that it could shed some light on how things started and when, and how we should think about the world we live in.
Please discuss with your child the Biblical story of the Creation of the World. What is your opinion of this story? Do you have another version of the same story which you feel more comfortable with? Please share your thoughts with your child - I look forward to hearing their thoughts in class!
