“ Why should you go to J.Roots Bat- Mitzvah class?

Why should you wake up at 9:30 am on Sunday morning?

Ariel , gr.7- Well, I’ll tell you. Here , at J.Roots Bat

Mitzvah Club , we discover our inner-self and aren’t

 judged for being different.We learn a lot about

Judaism and ourselves. Here, we have meaningfulconversations about Judaism and how it applies to

our lives. We have spoken about Anti-Semitism,

and why Jews are the most disliked religion...We have

had a “brachot party” where we got to eat and learn

different blessings for foods, it was a lot of fun,

laughing, and talking. I also enjoyed doing different

crafts like challah covers, and when we got to go see

the play, “The Children’s Republic.” I’m most looking

forward to the lesson where we learn how to

“make our parents o what we want.” I’m sure we will

laugh and have a great time like always. Our group

chesed/mitzvah project was collecting used

clothing for (an organization that helps

abused women and children) and we raised $28 in

small change that was used to purchase teddy

bears, stickers, and books for Hospital for .

I felt very good when we were done. I liked giving

away my clothing to other children in need and

we learned that they do for the families there.

The experience was fun and uplifting. I loved being

able to help the kids in need and go on a trip. I look

forward to more of these projects. And most of all,

if this hasn’t convinced you yet… we talk,

laugh and have tons of fun with Morah Polina!”

Nicol, gr.7- “The things we learn here are very useful for your life! We have learned about: The 5 levels of pleasure,

our roles and responsibilities, proactive and reactive language/reactions, good and bad habits, and of course: what is a mitzvah?

We learn what life is actually all about, like knowing important definitions: believe, faith, knowledge, stereotype, prejudice,

discrimination, etc. The girls in the group are very nice and we formed bonds that will hopefully last a lifetime! It makes the experience

even better, so fun and exciting! I’m most looking forward to the lesson about “how to get what you want from your parents.”

My favourite part so far was the “brachot party” because we got to eat! Making the challah covers and going to the play was also

really fun! Our group chosen project was “Tikun Olam”- repairing the world. I most enjoyed going to Red Door and going to Hospital

for Sick Children to donated clothes and give toys – it really make you feel good about what you have done. In the future, I would like

to with my friend from the Bat Mitzvah Club to get a group of kids together to learn a song and dance and to perform it for seniors at

a retirement home. To me, becoming a Bat Mitzvah means: “becoming a young woman and taking on more roles and responsibilities,

and being closer to G-d. The experience has been amazing so far, I feel so awesome to be doing all this good and learning so much

about myself and my heritage!”

 

Hi everyone, I'm Lina Patrick a kid who just started the J.Roots

program. What I like about this school (actually I like everything) is

the classes, teachers and the kids. The kids are kind and when I first

came I was welcomed warmly and I felt as if I knew these people a few

years. I go to Kitat Kohavim, the class which puts together the oldest

kids. On my first day it was more like an introduction to the year

thought boring a few games to get to

know each other The teachers in this school are as kind

as the kids, my Hebrew and lso known as the director of the school

(for all those how don't know her name) Tova is fun but as all teachers

should be is a bit strict to keep us on focus. The teacher for any other

things we should know is Polina or Morah Polina is super fun and artistic.

Hanukah at J.Roots is awesome, it started with us at the photo booth,

it was actually fun then we went to make our own candles!

Then played different drums tunes and played dr dle. We had

sufganyot and it was delicious! Yum yum!

Well that’s it these are my houghts of J.Roots BYE!!!
