In the Fourth Grade, students will learn about stories of the prophets while also examining the Parsha of the week. The class will also do a comprehensive study of  the mitzvah of Gemilut Chasadim. The students will look at a number of Jewish concepts/mitzvot such as Tikkun Olam, Bikkur Cholim, and Tzedakah. Students in fourth grade will spend much of their second semester examining the make-up and content of the Hagaddah. They will look at the meaning behind Passover, and gain a greater understanding for the rituals and traditions involved in the Passover seder. Students will continue to look at each of the Jewish holidays as they occur throughout the year.
