We covered the following in class (before we got cut off):

 Pasukim aleph –gimmel

Rashi on pasuk bet and gimmel

We talked about Ramban’s interpretation of Va yifgau Bo

We did the Medrash on pasuk bet

Your assignment:

Pasukim daled –vav with Rashi.

Medrash  on Vayislach Yacov Malachim and El Eisav Achiv(it’s a pasuk daled)

Your feedback is important to me, so I welcome any comments you might have!

All the best!

Dear Students,

Welcome to summer session of 2012! I am very happy to welcome back students from past semesters and meet new students. I hope we will have an expanding learning experience together. I would like to get to know you and what your goals are.  Please send me a short bio and your text background and translation skills.

We will be working on Chapter (32) (lamed bet)

Goals:

1)      To translate both verse (Posuk) and Rashi accurately.

2)       Finding the main point of verse and Rashi’s question on the text.

3)      Translate the Medrash and note what is being added to deepen our understanding.

I will be giving you a weekly assignment of preparing a number of verses (and commentary for those who can) to the best of your ability. 

I will upload:

1) Grammar sheets

2) The text with Medrash(I wish it was clearer, it was scanned)

3) A separate text and Rashi

Please print out the above so you can follow the text both with your print outs and on the screen.

Looking forward to getting started!!!
