The 6th grade students are currently working on the Mishkan (Tabernacle) project. In order to better understand parshiot (Torah weekly portion) t'rumah, titzaveh, vayakhel and pikudei the students are required to build a kli (vessel) from the Mishkan and one or two of the bigdei k'hunah (priestly garments). Once the students have completed the research and the building of their respective kelim and b'gadim they then present and teach the information to their classmates. The goal of this project is to learn about something that was used by Jews more than 2,000 years ago but making it alive and real for us today.
