Hello my name is Jonas and in Jewish Studies class we were tasked by Mr. Washerstein to Pick 3 of the 613 mitzvot’s and talk about why the mitzvah is important, and how the mitzvah can impact my life. Here it is.

 

Meaningful Mitzvot Assignment

Mitzvah #1 Conclusion                                  “Not to eat chametz on Passover” (Exodus 13:3).  וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶל־הָעָ֗ם זָכ֞וֹר אֶת־הַיּ֤וֹם הַזֶּה֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יְצָאתֶ֤ם מִמִּצְרַ֙יִם֙ מִבֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֔ים כִּ֚י בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֔ד הוֹצִ֧יא יְהֹוָ֛ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם מִזֶּ֑ה וְלֹ֥א יֵאָכֵ֖ל חָמֵֽץ׃ And Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, on which you went free from Egypt, the house of bondage, how יהוה freed you from it with a mighty hand: no leavened bread shall be eaten. The mitzvah I have selected is Exodus 13;3 The meaning of this mitzvah is to not eat any type of bread(chametz) on Passover. I think this mitzvah is important because it can keep a tradition with family and have fun on a special holiday. This mitzvah can impact my life and the lives of others because it is an important holiday in Jewish history and can connect Jewish people around the world and everyone knows on Passover you not supposed to eat chametz.

Mitzvah #2     “Not to cherish hatred in one’s heart” (Leviticus 19:17).  לֹֽא־תִשְׂנָ֥א אֶת־אָחִ֖יךָ בִּלְבָבֶ֑ךָ הוֹכֵ֤חַ תּוֹכִ֙יחַ֙ אֶת־עֲמִיתֶ֔ךָ וְלֹא־תִשָּׂ֥א עָלָ֖יו חֵֽטְא׃  The mitzvah I have selected is Leviticus 19;17 The meaning of this mitzvah is to not like how someone is hating something or someone. I think this mitzvah is important because Hatred is a bad thing and no one should be hating anything or anyone. This mitzvah can impact my life and the lives of others because if you get into a habit of hating or being mean, that is bad and the result of that is hatred going towards you.

Mitzvah #3   כַּבֵּ֥ד אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּ֑ךָ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִכ֣וּן יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃ {ס}     Honor your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land that your God יהוה is assigning to you. The mitzvah I have selected is Exodus 20;12. The meaning of this mitzvah is that you should always have a high level of respect and care about your parents. I think this mitzvah is important because it is not good to let down your parents and not care about your parents anymore. This mitzvah can impact my life and the lives of others because parents are an important part of your life and you should always care about them.

Learning skill goal: Time management

I want to improve my time management skills because I always leave everything to the last minute. I will know I am on my way to completing this goal when I have made a routine for doing homework and checking the homework board daily. When I get home from school, I will spend at least five minutes checking the homework board. I will create a plan with my mom to ensure that I complete all of my homework for the week. By the end of the year, I would like to create my own weekly homework plan independently. My goal is worthwhile because if I don’t do the work, my teachers will get mad at me.

Academic goal: Division

My academic goal is for math because I need to learn how to do long division and single division.

I will know that I have started to achieve my goal when I learn the steps to division and memorize them. I will spend 10 minutes each night practicing my division skills. This goal is realistic because I always have a hard time in math on anything related to division. I can get help from my parents or Mrs. Cleveland. I will also spend time watching math tutorials that focus on division. My goal is worthwhile because by the time I have completed my goal, I will become more responsible. I want to achieve my goal by the end of December.

Bonjour, je m’appelle Jonas et dans mon cours de français, je devais faire un paragraphe sur une chose de mon passé.

On my trip to Florida, I went to Disney Land and the Magic Kingdom. The hotel was very nice. It had two pools, nice rooms, and was called Marriot’s Grande Vista. There was a snack bar with delicious snacks, so sometimes I took some snacks downstairs. I stayed for a week, went to Animal Kingdom, and went on the Avatar ride. I got there by plane, and the plane ride was enjoyable. There was also a boathouse with a ping-pong table by the pool. They also had a playground and a nice restaurant with good music. They also had a beach and a lake which was very nice. I went with my cousins and grandparents too. There were turtles and alligators in the lake and a fountain in the middle of the lake. One day I watched a movie at one of the pools. At the Magic Kingdom, I met mascots like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck. At the end of the day, there was a light and firework show, it was really fun. The best part about the trip was being with all my family and having a good time with them on this trip.

 

Je suis allé en Floride avec ma famille. On est allé à Disney Land et Magic Kingdom. L’hôtel était très joli, des belles chambres dans le Marriott’s Grande Vista. Il y avait un petit snack bar dans notre hôtel, on a mangé de superbes collations. On est restés pendant une semaine et on est allé à Animal Kingdom et on a fait le manège d’Avatar. On est allé en avion. Il y avait aussi une maison de bateau. On a joué au ping-pong avec la famille. Il y avait un parc avec de la musique qui jouait. Il y avait une très jolie plage. On y est allé avec mes cousins et mes grand-parents. Il y avait des tortues et des crocodiles dans le lac. Un jour, on a regardé des films pendant qu’on était dans la piscine. A Magic Kingdom, on a vu Mickey Mouse, Goofy et Donald Duck. A la fin de la journée, il y avait un spectacle de lumières et des feux d’artifices. La meilleure partie des vacances est d’être avec ma famille pour ce voyage. 

Hello my name is jonas and today I will be reflecting on my year. The things that were helpful were learning the vocabulary so its easier to study and do a test. My blogging kept everyone that’s not in grade 5 updated on what we just did. The blogging helped me stay motivated to make more blogs because i got to comment on other people’s blogs. Here are some tips for the next grade 5, Always check the homework board for homework and go to the resource room if haven’t finished something or need a quiet space to learn.

Hi my name is jonas and today I will be reflecting on my public speaking. I will be talking about what I like about my speech, what I could’ve done to improve my speech, what I liked about somebody else’s speech, and advice I could give to somebody else’s speech.

 

The things I liked about my speech were my outro were I said my brain was friend and I put a sentence that made no sense and said “see I cant even write a proper sentence anymore. My brain is fried and my parents are right, now time to turn the screen off.

 

I cant really think of anything that would make my speech better but I can think of something that I could’ve done while I was speaking. I could’ve looked up at the audience more and speaked a little louder.

 

I liked Nathan’s speech because of his conclusion because he said ” I bet you think this public speaking is because of how good it is”

 

I think this person should’ve practiced more because they didn’t look up at the audience. Therefore they should’ve practiced more

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The midrash is about when Jacob and Laban made a peace agreement.

Jacob got tired of Laban trying to steal all Jacobs money so Jacob ran away. Laban realized and then chased after him. Laban caught up and they signed a peace agreement. I think Laban said he wouldn’t try to steal Jacobs money anymore and wont scam Jacob.

 

I think Geometry is about shapes, measuring, points, lines, angles, surfaces, and solids. I want to learn how all of those things work. I also think geometry is very important because most of things that are related to math have something to do with geometry.

Israeli Remembrance was fun because I got to learn about the holocaust and I also got to be with my bubby. Because I have a brother, my bubby couldn’t be with both of us at the same time so I had to go with my brother and learn more about the holocaust. The assembly was sad because of all the people that died during the holocaust.
