Year 6 Hebrew
Yachid, Yachad and cooking (one, together and cooking)
The Jewish Studies focus this Purim is the concept of Yachid (individual) and Yachad (collective). Throughout a person’s life, one shifts from being an individual to living in a community. The concept of being one and at the same time together, emphasises that while it is important to be part of a community, it is also important for everyone to stay unique.
In our Year 6 lessons we have been learning about baking, writing a shopping list and reading a recipe in Hebrew. Last week we made a fruit salad and rice bubble chocolate cookies.
You may ask what does cooking have to do with the concept of Yachid and Yachad? When Year 6 students cooked in class, each one had a specific chore. Some students peeled, others chopped, mixed and poured. While each student had an individual task, the combined result was a fantastic yummy fruit salad and cookies. And together (Yachad) we all enjoyed eating it.
Have a Happy Purim
