Parshat Hashavua this week is Parshat Nitzavim.\u00a0 Moshe explains to the whole community of Israel gathered before him that the Torah is not something distant and difficult to reach: \u201cnot in the heavens\u2026 or over the sea,\u201d rather:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>It is very close to you, in your mouths and in your hearts,\u00a0<\/span>so that you can do it!<\/span><\/p>\n

From this we derive the middah: \u201cobserve mitzvot through simple acts of speech and kindness.\u201d\u00a0 The verse is also a calling card for how children learn here at Heschel.\u00a0 Whether in Torah, math, Hebrew, science, art, literacy, or any of the other subjects we teach, we strive for learning to be \u201cvery close\u201d to our students.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Heschel students learn through experiential, multi-sensory, and immersive activities that develop the heart, body, mind and soul of the child.\u00a0 Our approach to Hebrew immersion literally places the words \u201cin the mouths\u201d of children; hands-on projects in science, math, art, and drama employ principles of active learning; mindful tefillah, and meaningful connections to Jewish learning speak to the heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Shabbat, as we prepare for Rosh Hashanah, let us all strive to \u201cobserve mitzvot through simple acts of speech hand kindness,\u201d and for Torah to be \u201cin our mouths, in our hearts, and in our hands.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shabbat shalom veshanah tovah,<\/span><\/p>\n
