We've been trying to beautify the classroom while also deepening our understanding of some of the prayers we have worked on this year. There are two interesting new art projects on the walls. One is called "Kol Adonai", the voice of God. We've been studying the Psalm 29 , which is recited at the end of the service and describes many manifestations of God's voice in the natural world. I asked students to reflect on a place in the natural world where they experience God's voice, and to illustrate the scene. You'll find these watercolors hanging above the blackboard in our classroom. In our study of the prophet Isaiah, we read about his apocalyptic vision of seraphim singing "Holy, Holy, Holy" to the Almighty. (This story is the source of "Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh" in the Shabbat Kedusha.) I asked students to carefully read Isaiah's description of the seraphim and illustrate what they imagined.
It look like tomorrow may be a snow day. Don't forget Yom Shira on Sunday!
