The Bar/Bat-Mitzvah Moops and Mahhs

Hi, My name is Sam, and I am demonstrating my knowledge of the Bar/bat mitzvah. First, life changes once you reach the Bar/bat mitzvah. Girls do it when they are 12 because they typically develop faster than males, who do it at 13. When done with our Bar/bat mitzvah, you can participate in the Minyon and Alliyah.

The purpose it serves is that when you do the ceremony and finish reading your Torah portion, you are an adult in Jewish eyes and are now able to participate in fasting and other things. It is also very important like the summary of what G-d said about that G-d saved us and stuff.

I found the sea snail (Chilazon) mystery interesting because over a really long time ago, scientists said that it appeared every 70 years, but now they just appear. I also find it interesting that the Teffilin doesn’t cut off your arm circulation because it looks tight in pictures and videos demonstrating how to wear it. Also, I find it interesting because of the math of the 613 mitzvahs that someone had to do.

I still have many questions about what the sea snail looks like, why they stopped wearing the tallit gadol daily only after the destruction of the second temple, why they now wear it as a prayer shawl on morning prayers and other important days, and how they constructed most of the stuff.

Mitzvot Moops and Mahhs

Hi, I’m Sam.

My Mitzvot is To know there is a G‑d, Not to destroy objects associated with God’s Name, and Not to listen to a false prophet.

 “I am the Lord, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.” In Exodus 22:2

אָֽנֹכִ֨י יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֽוֹצֵאתִ֩יךָ֩ מֵאֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם מִבֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֗ים

This quote means that G-d is mighty and you must believe in him. It means that he was the one who saved you and you need to be obedient towards him. He is saying that he is the reason that the Jews had been able to escape and protect them and he was saving us for generations, and without him, the Jewish people would have still been enslaved by the Egyptians or extinct.

Not to destroy objects associated with His Name (Deuteronomy 12:4). 

דלֹא־תַֽעֲשׂ֣וּן כֵּ֔ן לַֽיהֹוָ֖ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶֽם:

This means that you can’t destroy the Torah, siddurs, and other things that are believed to be holy or have God’s name in them. You can’t do that because it is very bad and it is like not caring about God. This is one way you can show respect to God.

“You shall not heed the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of a dream; for the Lord, your God, is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul (Deuteronomy 13:4).

דלֹ֣א תִשְׁמַ֗ע אֶל־דִּבְרֵי֙ הַנָּבִ֣יא הַה֔וּא א֛וֹ אֶל־חוֹלֵ֥ם הַֽחֲל֖וֹם הַה֑וּא כִּ֣י מְנַסֶּ֞ה יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ אֶתְכֶ֔ם לָדַ֗עַת הֲיִשְׁכֶ֤ם אֹֽהֲבִים֙ אֶת־יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶ֖ם וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁכֶֽם:
This means that you can’t say that God said, told you, or did a certain thing that is fake. If you did that then you are basically lying and disrespecting God. it is basically saying that God is a rainbow unico princess with fake proof. But of course nobody would believe that.

My Goals: Reflection

Earlier this year, I wrote my smart goals. My smart goals were: Try to focus and be more organized. I think I succeeded in being more focused, but I’m still… Not very good at organization. I think I achieved most of them though. In French I wanted to get better, and I’m way better at french. Same as Hebrew, just a little less. I think that if I can focus and be organized more, then I can achieve all of them.

What I Think Geometry Is

Hi I’m sam and I have no clue what geometry is. So I know it can be used to measure stuff, And its about shapes. I think it could be about like math and other things, like division because everything thats hard is like ry. It is probably about shapes and how to measure them, like i’ve heard of it before I just barely know anything about it. I think its mostly about measuring things with special things. Like a ruler or a triangle thing. To end this I think it is just a special type of math like Pi or something, and how to measure it.

מדוע עזב יעקב לארץ כנען

hi sam appeared so im going to tell you why yakov left to aretsh kanan.

so basiclly a long time ago he stole esavs title for the first born and esav wanted to kill him despretly. he was afraid that he would succeed and kill him so he didnt go back. he came to the land of israel and met lavan. lavan is basically a dirty liar and he always changes his descisson at the last second. an example of it was when yakov was promised rachel but he actually was “promised” laeh because when lavan said rachel is too presious to me he said take laeh. now yakov wanted rachel but he couldnt. another time was when he was prommised some spotted sheep, he hid them and gave them to his sons. yakov took care of the sheep and i dont think he noticed because it didnt say in the midrash but he knew that lavan was lying but still worked for him because he was  in an agreement. he worked for 7 years

stuff about golden caf my characteristics

Hi, Sam exists now!!1!!!!!!1!!11111 so anyway I am writing about what I learned about the parashat and the thing about the golden cow. so pretty much it all started when Moses wanted to be noticed more. he thought about it a lot and then decided that he, Moses wanted to make a golden caf to be noticed and recognized more. after he thought of that he went to the other people in the village and then asked for their golden jewelry they said yes and gave it to him. i don’t know why so I can’t tell you why. then he made them into a cow. then god got mad and explained why. then Moses blinked twice and looked again seeing them dancing around. he got so mad that he destroyed the tablet that let him talk to god I think. he was in a rage and wanted to kill that dumb cow. Anyway, now I’ll talk about my characteristics. I am very loud and chaotic. so then because I don’t really know why I am chaotic but I just am and I am also very loud. I am very energetic too but that just links to chaotic and loud. I am also very angry when I want to be or when I have a reason to be, but then after I just laugh. I think that links to Moses because he got mad in the story too and my characteristics. in my perspective, I am just so amazing and kind but I think I am kind a lot? except for my siblings, I am very rude a lot but it’s because they are your siblings. I bet you were also mean to your siblings. anyways I am done so byeeeyye

Pour Pourim

Bonjour, je m’appelle Sam.

Aujourd’hui je parle du costume que je porte. Vous savez que c’est Pourim. Pour  fête de Pourim, mon costume est une grenouille. Parce que mon animal préféré est la grenouille. 

Mon costume préféré est celui de Maia, c’est “Kissy Missy”. Je l’aime parce qu’il est rose, effrayant et chaotique et  j’aime les choses chaotiques.

innovatinainanaanananans reflectinanananas

Hi, Sam here.

so if you didn’t know we did Innovation Day today and I made a waterwheel, Let’s jump into what I did, our problem was How can we make electricity for community outdoor places in an energy-saving way that still maintains the safety and fun ways of the space. that was the problem and now I will tell you our hypothesissisisisisisis (hypothesis) If the water hits the turbine, then it will power the battery because of the rotation of the turbine. the next step was gathering materials. (that was our first but all we needed was the waterwheel itself) the materials we needed were hot glue (we needed that especially so we could glue everything together), straw (to attach the waterwheel to a container and let it spin), a water jug (to make water come out and make the waterwheel spin), and finally a container (we needed that so the waterwheel wouldn’t get water everywhere and we could attach the straw to it and stop leakages). next, I will tell you the procedure and communication. my group was with xtmadgallery Josh and Aviv. we had some good communication but at the beginning and middle, it was like a constant fight. we made a waterwheel and decided we were just going to make the LED decoration. Josh and Aviv were working on the text, Xtmadgallery had to remake a generator to light up a light with a turn thing that broke 2 times. I did the decor by making water, an island with a palm tree, some static coming out of the water, a singular thundercloud, 2 thunderbolts in the middle of our poster, and finally a sun with a sunset. everyone got more stressed because we didn’t have time and the generator we only finished at the last minute. bye

 

fractions

hi je suis sam. here is what I learned about fractions today.

in fractions, it’s like dividing. if you have a cookie and you split it into four, you take away 3 of it, its still supposed to be 4 because you had four before. the bottom number is 4 and since you took 4, that minus that is 1. so the top is 1. it is kind of complicated but if you think that’s complicated there is still 3 types of fractions. zero, improper.
