Hello!

When you reach the age of Bar or Bat Mitzvah life changes, you get to participate in a lot more things, like lighting the Shabbat candles, doing tefillin and many more. Tefillin and Talit are very important, they each remind us of g-d in a different way. Tefillin reminds us of our thoughts and our actions. The tallit is also important, used as a prayer shawl and to remind us to follow all of the mitzvot. This is interesting because even though I don’t understand everything about it the stories behind them are cool. Even now after learning all about them I still wonder why we have to wear tzitzit on only a four-cornered shirt or why is the colour of the tefillin what it is.

Well anyway, thanks for reading. Bye!

לֹֽא־תִקֹּ֤ם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ֥ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ כָּמ֑וֹךָ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָֽה׃

“You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself: I am יהוה “ (Leviticus 19:18). 

 

This mitzvah I have selected is not taking revenge. This means to be always kind to other people and to not get back at somebody even if they wronged you first. I believe this is very important because even though somebody does something bad to you doesn’t mean you can get back at them, things will only get worse. this could impact my life and others because if nobody takes revenge and is mean to each other people will live happier lives.

 

There are many lessons to be learned from this mitzvot 

   לֹֽא־תִשְׂנָ֥א אֶת־אָחִ֖יךָ      בִּלְבָבֶ֑ךָ הוֹכֵ֤חַ תּוֹכִ֨יחַ֙ אֶת־עֲמִיתֶ֔ךָ וְלֹֽא־תִשָּׂ֥א עָלָ֖יו חֵֽטְא:

You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your fellow, but you shall not bear a sin on his account. (Lev 19:17)

 

This Mitzvah tells you that you cannot embarrass others. It tells you that you can’t point out embarrassing things about people in public or make them do something uncomfortable, this is important because when you embarrass your friends or family it’s mean and unnecessary, it can cause arguments and you may lose your friendship. This can impact me because if I don’t embarrass others they will do the same for me

 

The next mitzvah is not to hate fellow Jews. This mitzvah is also a part of Lev 19:17. The meaning of this mitzvah is to love everyone around you. This is important because you should love all people, especially Jews you can make new friends when you hang out with new people. This can effect me because if i am nice to others they will be nice to me

DJ John what a wonderful sight 

seeing him might give me a fright. 

He is not colorful nor is he bright 

But the light he shows 

will always grow 

Oh DJ John  despite all of the small things you do

You bring light to the world we view 

It is now the new year which means a new you 

So when you do the things you do i know deep down it is not a frown

 but one turned upside down.      

   

                            mon meilleur souvenir

 

Mes meilleurs souvenirs sont ceux de la Floride et des Bahamas avec ma famille.L’un de mes endroits préférés est Ocean Reef. Mes grands-parents avaient un bateau et ma famille a dormi dans le bateau presque à chaque fois que nous sommes partis en voyage. Mon endroit préféré est un endroit qui s’appelle Atlantis aux Bahamas. Voici une vidéo. ATLANTIS BAHAMAS Bien sûr, je n’ai pas fait tout ce qu’il y avait à faire, mais ce que j’ai fait était très amusant. J’adore la Floride et les Bahamas. Lorsque nous ne sommes pas sur le bateau, ma famille séjourne dans l’appartement de mes grands-parents. J’aime aussi la maison de ma tante, qui a un chien, et ma petite cousine. Je ne peux pas attendre mon prochain voyage en Floride ou aux Bahamas.

hello

yesterday was public speaking. it was really nice watching everyone speak in front of the class, i was the 18th person to go up and speak. i really enjoyed doing my presentation, the thing i liked about it was the topic having no more homework would be really great . But i think i could have looked at the class a little bit more instead of looking at the flash cards.

one of my favorites was Starielle’s speech, there was a lot of detail and hard work put into it, i also loved the life jacket she put on. for one of the speeches they were talking really fast so i think that could be something they could slightly improve for next time.

i really don’t like talking in front of people but i think it is very important to practice especially before middle school and having to speak in front of a lot more people. this year public speaking went really well and i cant wait for next year.

her is my public speaking script just in case you want to read it
