Our new vocabulary unit is all about fruit – פּירות (perot)
On Shavuot, people brought the first fruits of the field בּיכורים (bikkurim) to the temple to offer thanks to G-d.
Please watch and listen to the following slideshow to learn the names of the fruits in Hebrew. Then go to Flipgrid and in Hebrew…tell me your favourite fruit:

They are like twins… but Shin has a dot on the right, and Sin has a dot on the left.
It will help you to remember if you think of the Shema. When we say it we cover our eyes with our right hand (yad yamin) that is the same for Shin. Shin also rhymes with yamin.
Shin makes a sound like when you want someone to be quiet, shhh! It sounds like this:
Sin makes a sound like a snake hissing, it sounds like this:

Two very special days are coming up, Mother’s day and Grandparent’s day.
Fun Fact: Did you know that in Israel they only have one special day to celebrate all of the important adults in our lives? It is called Family day (ים המשׁפּחה).
Since we will be honouring our mothers and grandparents, it made sense to focus on family this week.
Here is our new Hebrew vocabulary:
Mishpacha- family, Ima- mother, Aba- father, ach- brother, achot- sister, tinok- baby boy, tinoket- baby girl, savta- grandmother, saba- grandfather

Yom Ha’Atzmaut is Israel’s Independence Day.
In Israel, people celebrate all over the country beginning in the evening with with a special torch lighting, fireworks, and street parties.
The next day people get together for barbeques on the beach or in parks. Many people dress in blue and white (kachol ve’ lavan) the colours of the flag, and eat special foods like hummus, falafel, pita, kababs, watermelon, Bamba, and Israeli salad. There is folk dancing and lots of music, including special concerts.
Many people imagine that Israel is a desert, but although it is tiny, the country has many different parts and when you travel through it you see that Israel has everything from busy cities, to beaches, mountains, deserts, and lakes.
Today, we will make a map of Israel and colour in the different areas using glue and materials from home.
1. Print the Map of Israel Printable.
For best results print on cardstock or glue it to thicker paper, like cardboard.
2. Glue the different materials to the paper according to the number and color.
Don’t forget to send me a picture of your finished work. I can’t wait to see the different materials you use!

This week we will be learning a new letter…
The letter Tzadi
Let’s make the letter Tzadi with our bodies:
This is how to print the letter Tzadi:
Now it is your turn …take your luach (hand) and etzbah ha’kesem (magic finger) and practice 3 times:
This is how to print it on paper.
I used a marker so you can see but you can use a pencil at home.
Here is your written work for the week. Click on the arrow to print. Remember to take your time and do your best work.
Tzadi is in words like:
tzevah- colour
etz- tree
etzbah- finger
betzah- egg
tzahov- yellow
There is also a Tzadi sofit. We print it differently when it is at the end of a word. It looks like a backwards y.
***Please note that there is a mistake in the print out. The word etzbah (finger) begins with an aleph, not an ayin.
*You can learn more about the letter tzadi on JiTap in this week’s assigned games.
