Explore-A The Torah Mural
Our 7th & 8th grade elective “Explore-A The Torah” created this amazing mural for their Religious School class. The mural is called “The Creation”. Our students carefully picked out each color, contrasting light and dark, warm and cool, to draw your eyes to the center of the piece. The center has Adam and Eve holding an Apple with a Holy glow illuminating them in the Garden Of Eden.
The Religious School curriculum encourages the understanding of:
- Shabbat, Jewish holidays, and Jewish symbols
- Blessings, customs, and life cycle events
- Torah stories and their relevance in our lives today
- Mitzvot (commandments, values, and good deeds)
- Connections between Torah, worship, and our lives
- An appreciation for the people and State of Israel
- The history of the Jewish people
- The Holocaust and anti-Semitism
- Jewish music, arts & crafts, and children’s literature
- Tzedakah projects and social action
