I've even given some shiurim to my group here.<br />Mrs. S, when my eldest was in the 2nd grade, the teacher told them to aske their parents what they remembered from the War of Independence. My daughter was pretty sure that my husband and I were too young even if we had grown up here. I sent her to a neighbor and spoke to the teacher about it. We were the youngest parents in the class, and she wasn't used to it.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-23463558841204543422010-12-02T12:08:49.294+02:002010-12-02T12:08:49.294+02:00I think that all olim - whether or not they were r...I think that all olim - whether or not they were raised in Orthodox Jewish homes and DID learn those things in gan - experience a variation of that feeling at one point or another.<br /><br />For instance, about a year or two after our aliyah, our son had to do a project for school about an army unit of his choice. And the teacher suggested that each boy pick "his father's" unit.<br /><br />But since by the time we made aliyah, the IDF was no longer interested in my husband, our son felt very left out. (Fortunately, one of his uncles had served, and so our son was able to do the project on his uncle's unit.)<br /><br />Happy Chanukah!<br />(P.S.

All a speaker has to do is change the wording to "as children are taught in a religious pre-school (gan)".<br />At just about the time that my children started gan I bought (and read to MYSELF) the popular children's series "Koh Asu Hahameinu" (roughly translated as "The Deeds of Our Sages") so that when they came home with stories of what their teacher had told them, I'd understand the half-bits of plot relayed to me.<br />Every time I get that "left out" feeling, I think to myself that while I didn't have the education that most of the room did, I've worked myself up to be able to understand what they can, sometimes even more ;).Hadassanoreply@blogger.com
