Fifth Grade
 
 
In the study of holidays, students will be immersed in the
significance of each observance using original text from the
prayer book. They will explore, in-depth, a variety of
interpretations (midrash) and learn cultural expressions. 
 
The prayers learned previously will be reviewed and
students will be introduced to the Avot v’Imahot and G’vurot. 
  
In Bible and History studies, students will focus on the Book
of Judges and learn about the main figures of the Jewish nation, such as Theodore Herzl, Ben Gurion, and Eliezer Ben-Yehudah. 
 
This year, we will focus on the Jewish value of building community (Tikun Kehilah) by participating in a special project benefiting the TAS community. They will also study what it means to pray from the heart (l’Yun T’filah). 
 
In Hebrew study, students will practice reading the texts from the prayer books fluently and will continue learning to read and write cursive letters. In conversational Hebrew, we will reinforce sentence structure (nouns, verbs, adjectives, infinitives, and prepositions), and speaking in simple sentences about ourselves and families.  We will also learn the days of the week and our daily schedule. The students will practice dialogue to attain more functionality in the language. 
 
Jewish practices and customs include biblical and modern months of the year and days of the week.  
 
Israel studies will include a review of geography and the countries with whom Israel shares a border. The students will also learn about San Diego’s sister city, Sha-ar HaNegev. Current events and news will also be discussed.
