1. When discussing issues of hunger, we often use these biblical sources to cite our tradition’s concern for fighting hunger. However, we no longer live in an agricultural society, and the laws of reaping and tithing no longer apply. How do we make these texts relevant today? What can we do in our modern lives […]
Final Sukkah Reflection
I am most proud of coming up with my triangular prototype because the judges said it was a great idea because triangles are one of the strongest formations. The most challenging step was making the sukkah assembly guide because lots of people were surfing the internet instead of working, and I was one of the […]
Mid Quarter Reflection

Plans/Reflections
I want to push myself in all of my classes, and make myself happy with my progress. Last school year, I was very happy with my progression in math, but I think I could’ve pushed myself harder in Hebrew. One example of a FAILure I had was during our Purim movie. We already we put […]
