Tikkun Olam for Earth Day – What a Mitzvah!

Posted On כ״ט בניסן ה׳תשע״ב (April 21, 2012) by Moreh Daniel

On Friday, the entire school joined with people throughout the city of Toronto to make the city a greener place by taking 20 minutes to clean up!

Students made up songs and rhymes as they picked up litter. What a way to end the week with a meaningful mitzvah!

Fantastic Eco-Seder Presentations!

For nearly a month, the Grade 6 classes worked tirelessly in Math, Language Arts, Science, and Art classes to create their Eco-Seder projects.  This thought-provoking integrated project ties the various parts of the Passover Seder to important ecological issues confronting our world today.  Who knew that Nirtzah could teach us about forest conservation, or that Maror could enlighten us about the importance of honeybees?

The Grade 6 students did a fantastic job in all aspects of the project and successfully showcased their work to students in grades 3, 5, 7, and to the community at large.  Kol Ha Kavod to all!

Just in time!

For those of us about to embark on another round of attending bar or bat mitzvahs, or for those casually interested in learning how to chant Torah – a new app has just been released today that is the answer for many a prayer – Pocket Torah !

Available for iPhone, Android, or Chrome or Safari browsers, Pocket Torah has every aliyah at your fingertips.  The app will teach you each portion at your own pace and convenience… and you can practice to your heart’s content any time of day!

Moreh Dan will also appreciate the volunteers for Thursday Torah reading … so download the app or surf on over and let the leyning begin!
