Kitah Dalet (4th)

Kitah Dalet (4^th Grade) explores what it means to be a Jewish leader. Their unit on Israel focuses on heroes and leaders of the modern state and then offers the opportunity to observe these qualities in Jewish people they know. Our goal is to empower the students to find and cultivate these same leadership qualities in themselves. Their Torah studies bring them from slavery in Egypt to the Exodus. This dovetails with their focus on the prayers, blessings, readings, and customs of the Haggadah, and concludes with a special program and a gift of a Haggadah to each child. Beginning in Kitah Dalet, students are grouped for Hebrew language study. Both students and teachers have found this to be effective in ensuring that each child's learning needs are met in this critical area. Kitah Dalet students all learn the challenging Ashrei prayer.
