Mosaic Law Curriculum Guide

Our 6th Grade - Kitah Vav class meets on Sundays, 9:30am to 12:15pm and Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:15pm to 6:15pm

As students continue their study of Judaism in our school, we feel it is important to create a warm, supportive, loving, and challenging atmosphere. Our curriculum seeks to involve our students in living, learning, and celebrating Judaism. By experiencing Judaism, we hope to foster positive feelings, encourage a love of Torah and tradition, and impart knowledge that will help each student build a positive self-image. There are several different subject areas, and each grade builds and expands upon knowledge gained in prior classes. While there is a review of previously studied materials, there are new materials, skills, and concepts that are introduced each year.

Goals of the Class:

Develop an understanding of the State of Israel from birth to present day
Gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the Mitzvot, as well as their application to our lives
