In their study of I Shmuel 8, the seventh grade girls have been engaged in a heated debate over whether or not it is the right time to fulfill the mitzvah in Devarim 17:15 of appointing a king. The students developed and supported strong arguments for and against the resolution: the time for the appointment of a king of Israel has arrived. Using professional and respectful language, 7G then presented their cases and responded to the points made by the opposing side. Congratulations to all of the debaters on a job well done and for arguing so strongly and respectfully in the name of the leadership of Am Yisrael.
