What is Freedom for me? A student guest post by starielle

Freedom (פסח Addition)

Recap of פסח

A long long time ago, בני ישראל were slaves in מצרים. They had an EVIL ruler and his name was פרעה. He made the Jews suffer. The Jews prayed to ‘ה. Hashem sent a helper משה to try to convince פרעה to let his people go! He said No. And that is when the 10 מכות hit מצרים. All of the plagues hit the Egyptians and not the Jews. Blood, Frogs, Lice, Wild animals, Cows, and goats and more will die, Boils, Hail that was fire, Locust, Darkness and the worst plagues DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN SON! The evil ruler פרעה kept saying no until his son died. The Jews quickly escaped. Their bread didn’t have time to rise so it turned into מצה. 

 

What does Freedom mean nowadays?

Freedom, a thing the world really needs. Freedom, what does it mean? Is it when people have to flee, or can they live happily? What does freedom really mean? To the world not just for me?

 

Freedom is when someone gets to live happily. Nobody is a slave. Nobody needs to pretend to be someone they aren’t. People who are aloud to believe what they want to. Everyone is kind to one another. No one is held hostages. You don’t have to worry about being killed from war. You can live a happy life. Freedom means a bunch of different things to people, but to me freedom means to live a happy life.

Work in Progress

Another unit has come to an end. The unit focused on conversations at the train station, purchasing tickets, finding the correct train and its location, and how to manage a conversation and reach different places. In this unit, they learned how to make a conversation, with a focus on language skills ,such as reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Last week, the students began working on a summary project. They started with a virtual tour of Jerusalem, and then they were asked to plan their own virtual tour from one of the cities in Israel. In each city they chose, they had to find three interesting places to visit. Upon arriving at each place, they needed to engage in conversation with people, such as ticket sellers at the train station, museum staff, and people on the street who could help them reach various places in the city. The students are very excited and are investing a lot of effort and dedication into their work.

 More to come…
