Rabbi Kurtz's Gemara Classes Create Haggadot!

In Rabbi Kurtz's 8th Grade Girls Gemara class, we prepared our own divrei Torah on the Haggadah. I edited the divrei Torah and put them together into a dvar Torah booklet. We added a few of my divrei Torah as well. Attached is a copy of that dvar Torah booklet. 

In Rabbi Kurtz's 7th Grade Girls Gemara class, we worked on a Macah/Plague Project, where each student received one macah to research. We also prepared our own divrei Torah on the Haggadah. I edited all of our research and divrei Torah and put them together into a beautiful dvar Torah booklet (34 pages of divrei Torah!) Attached is a copy of that dvar Torah booklet.  

In Rabbi Kurtz's 6th Grade Girls Gemara classes, we learned and discussed 15 pages of divrei Torah. Each of the students received their own Haggadah binder, and filled out the dvar Torah sheets as we learned them in class. We also discussed at least 24 mitzvot that apply on Pesach. This was a continuation of the Mitzvah Program that we have been learning all year! (Ask your daughters about the mitzvah of the day.) Linked is a scan of one of the girls beautiful booklets. Nice Job!
