Wednesday’s Weekly Window

Spiderweb Discussion: If you were to plot the flow of this 8th grade Chumash discussion, the picture would look like a spiderweb. Each girl prepared questions or comments on the assigned passukim to ask or express to their classmates. They listened carefully, thought deeply, and offered further comment or potential answers. Some questions were based in grammatical irregularities, while others more conceptual. My favorite answer came as a response to the question of how Hashem can "teach" Torah if we can't hear Him directly? "He placed irregularities in the way He wrote the Torah so we can learn from them". How apropos!
