Last week, I detected some confusion (to put in mildly) in some students' sense of the chronology of the Bible and Jewish history. To get the period in time that we've been studying into perspective, I've borrowed this dvd. We're watching on the section that takes us from Abraham up to the period of the later prophets, whom we are just beginning to study.
Some great questions about God and Divine revelation arose from watching this. I've asked the Rabbi to come in and facilitate a discussion about some of the tougher ones.....
At our staff meeting, we spoke about different Jewish concepts of God. While I think those conversations are certainly appropriate and welcome in the classroom, I hope that all of us, as parents, remember to take time to talk to our children in our homes about what we believe.
