Shir Tikva Religious School - Grade 2

The curriculum of Grade Two shifts its emphasis slightly from holiday celebration to the study of Mitzvot between people. Children learn about and experience ethical mitzvot between people– Bayn Adam L’Chavero. Students will learn the definition of Mitzvah and apply mitzvot to everyday life.  Specific Mitzvot that will be studied include: Tzedakah, Gemilut Chasadim, Bal Tashchit (concern for the environment), Kibud Av v’Aym (honoring parents), Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), Rodef Shalom (pursuing peace), Lashon HaRah (an evil tongue/gossip) and a variety of others.  In addition, holiday practice and celebration will be reviewed throughout the year. Students begin their Hebrew reading journey.  Students learn the sounds of each letter and vowel.  They begin to be able to put letter-vowel sounds together in order to sound out simple syllables which ultimately lead to word pronunciation.  Shabbat and Holiday blessings as well as the Jewish Life vocabulary are reviewed.

Modern Hebrew continues to be introduced through the students’ environment. The use of Hebrew words to describe items in the classroom (ex. Chair=kee-say, כִּסֵא ) in the students’ presence continues to expose them to the use of Hebrew as a living language.

Grade Two Tzedakah Project - The Israel National Therapeutic Riding Association - (INTRA) is a non-profit organization committed to teaching equine skills and horseback riding to people with a wide variety of disabilities. They welcome anyone both from Israel and abroad who can benefit from horseback riding including mentally and physically challenged adults, children, survivors of terror attacks, injured soldiers, their families and friends. Students receive individualized, hands-on training from a team of dedicated and highly skilled staff. The Second Grade will participate in the mitzvot of Ahavat Tzion, For the Love of Israel and Tza’ar Ba’alay Chayim,Being Kind to Animals by using its tzedakah collective to support those in need in Israel. www.intra.org.il
