My Three Meaningful Mizvot

1st paragraph: 

 לֹֽא־תִקֹּ֤ם וְלֹֽא־תִטֹּר֙ אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ וְאָֽהַבְתָּ֥ לְרֵעֲךָ֖ כָּמ֑וֹךָ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָֽה   

You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow [Israelite] as yourself: for I am G-d.

I think this Mitzvah means not to hold a grudge and to love your Neighbours as much as you love yourself. This Mitzvah is very important because it can lead to fewer murders in the world. If people treat people the way they want to be treated the world will overall just become a better place. This Mitzvah can lead to fewer wars in the world and just less conflict. If the world did not hold a grudge, the Israel war might not be happening, the same thing is happening with the Ukraine war.

 

2nd paragraph:                                                                                        כַּבֵּ֥ד אֶת־אָבִ֖יךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּ֑ךָ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִכ֣וּן יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃ 

Honour your father and your mother, that you may long endure on the land you G-d assign you.

 

Most people don’t know how much their parents have done for their kids. I selected this Mitzvah because I know that a lot of people don’t give enough appreciation to their parents and I know that because I am one of those people. Everyone’s moms and dads have done so much for their kids and the kids don’t even know this. This Mitzvah is so important that it is one of the Ten Commandments yet people still don’t appreciate their parents as much as they should. In my opinion, this is one of the most important mitzvot of all 613 of them. 

 

3d paragraph:

לֹ֥֖א תִּֿרְצָ֖͏ֽח׃ {ס}        לֹ֣֖א תִּֿנְאָ֑͏ֽף׃ {ס}        לֹ֣֖א תִּֿגְנֹֽ֔ב׃ {ס}        לֹֽא־תַעֲנֶ֥ה בְרֵעֲךָ֖ עֵ֥ד שָֽׁקֶר׃ {ס   

You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. 

 

I would say this mitzvot is the most important one. This mitzvot is not like other ones; this one is multiple mitzvot in one; the most important one in my opinion is; you shall not murder. Right now there is a lot of killing that has been happening and it’s very important that this has to stop. If the world stops killing each other, wars will become less common, and if the world stops fighting some terrorist groups might stop doing the stuff that they do and the would will become a better place.

 

Winter Break A Musical

                                        Burlington Bounce: Winter Fun and NBA Pounce

This winter break I went to Burlington, when we were driving to Burlington we did not know where we were going to stay. We planned to go to Syracuse but the weather was bad. When we arrived we went to many interesting locations. My favourite location was by far the science museum, for some reason, there were also animals mainly sea animals ( frogs, turtles, etc) my favourite exhibit was the baby turtles, they were so cute. We also went to church street and on church street, there are lots of stores, restaurants, etc. My favourite part of church street was this restaurant, I got perfect cheese sticks. We stayed at a hotel and at the hotel I watched NBA which was very fun.

 

Characters: Me, my mom, and my Grandma.

 

Climax: Cheese sticks

 

Songs:

 

1:  The sea: All about animals like turtles,  frogs, etc.

 

2: The church: All about church street and its stores.

 

3:  The USA: all about the drive to Burlington.  

 

I CHOSE: The USA

 

  In Ottawa, we set off with glee,  

Me, Mom, and Grandma, oh what a spree!  

The sky was so blue, the sun shining bright,  

Adventures ahead, everything felt just right.  

 

We strolled through the streets, with wonders so bright,  

Cheese sticks so cheesy, we couldn’t ask for more!  

At the science museum, baby turtles played,  

Together we laughed, making memories that stayed.  

 

Quelque chose de mon passe

 L’été dernier, je suis allé en Nouvelle-Écosse et IPEavec ma mère, mon frère, ma grand-mère, et ma sœur. Nous sommes resté au baie de Fundy. Nous sommes alle sur un trajet de 8 heures et nous sommes arrêtés sur les plages le Cabot Trail. Mon frère a grimpé à la montagne pour s’amuser. Ma sœur et moi sommes allés nager dans l’ océan et nous avons joué avec les vagues, il faisait très froid. Nous avons mangé le meilleur fish and chips de ma vie. . Pendant que nous mangions, nous avons vu une maison hantée. Nous sommes tous allés observer les oiseaux. Sur le chemin de la maison, ma sœur elle est allé à Montréal pour voir un concert.

My mishpacha project

My Mishpacha recap. We did the Mishpacha project because it is important to know your family history. We were meant to include facts about our name and our family. I asked my mom about her side of the family, my dad about his side of the family, and my Grandma on my dad’s side about a few questions that my dad did not know. This project was interesting because I learned a lot about my family after the project. I learned a lot of new information about my family but there were 3 that were the most interesting in my opinion. First: I have family that dates back to President Roosevelt. Second: I have family that went on the Mayflower.

Third: My Great great great Grandfather Esacaped a gulag in Russia. If I restated my project I would add more information on my project and add more pictures.

New smart goals

My French smart goals were to have a conversion in French by the end of the year. Learning 3 french verbs, être, avoir, faire. I learned to do all of that and I am very proud of myself. I achieved it by studying and paying attention. When I looked at all of my work again I was so proud of myself and I hope and can continue this in grade 6.

 

Geometry

Soon we are starting a new subject geometry, if i am being honest i have no idea what geometry is… so i searched it up and it said Geometry is a kind of mathematics that deals with shapes and figures.

ארבעה בנים

חורפ בקנדה (1)Hello, you probably know the story of the four sons but today I am going to refresh your mind, the four sons names are רשעו ,תם ,שאינו יודע לשאול ,חכם. All of the four sons are in deferent stages in their life, for instance רשע is a teenager, hist name represents how he said “what does this ritual mean to you”. רשע means the wicked one. By saying you he is excluding himself from the sentence from his people and denies god. תם means the simple one he asks “What is all of this”. The simple one asks a lot of question he is still learning a lot of stuff. When he asks you should say “It was with a mighty hand that the lord took us out of Egypt. out of the house of bondage. ח  כם or the wise one asks “What is the meaning of the laws and traditions God has commanded?” You should teach him all the traditions of Passover, even to the last detail. שאינו יודע לשאול means the one who can not ask. You should open the discussion for him, as it is written, “and you shall explain to your child on that day, “It is because of what the lord did for me when I came out of Egypt. I think I would be the simple one I ask a lot of questions. This is my drawing of the four kids.
