WHY WE STUDY ‘MITZVOT’: 
Mitzvot give us the opportunity to anchor lofty concepts in daily life. By performing good deeds, we implement our knowledge in a real and meaningful way. Connecting learning with doing enables us to transform 
the world. Mitzvot honor our relationships with G‑d, with each other, and with the world.
HOW WE STUDY ‘MITZVOT’:
Every year specific Mitvot are selected for exploration on a school-wide scale. Taught in a 4-year cycle, the material covered in the Mitzvot curriculum is imparted in an informal, spirited and creative fashion. Instead of decontextualized learning, the Mitzvah course focuses on the implementation fo the selected Mitzvot in the form of school wide projects, community events, and exciting trips.
The Mitzvot we will be exploring this year are (in alphabetical order): 
1. Brachot (blessings over various foods and special occasions
2. Care and respect for ritual articles
3. Jewish pride and identity
4. Responsibility to ourselves, Hashem, each other and the world at large
5. Synagogue: Getting familiar with your House of Prayer
6. Torah: Its assembly/production, its usage, its significance.
7. Tzedaka (charity, empathy for those in need)
In future years we will be exploring other Mitzvot, such as:
Israel: Its sanctity and centrality to Jewish identity, Kosher, Maintaining and caring for the environment, Mezuzah, Respect for animals, Shabbat, Visiting the sick, Welcoming and caring for guests, etc.
