Learning V'ahavta

We began class with a review of letter and vowel sound combinations that are found in the V'ahavta.  We spent the majority of class using our Prayer Companion worksheet to learn the first two lines of the V'ahavta.  We took a break in the middle of class to play a game and rest our brains.   I am very impressed at the progress that these students are making with this difficult prayer.  We ended class with a small group activity that helped us learn what the words of the V'ahavta mean in English.

If students would like to practice at home, here is a practice sheet with the words of the V'ahavta in Hebrew.  I have recorded a SoundCloud playlist for this prayer (using the worksheet provided), and Kendra has also posted a recording on the Temple Sholom website.
