At the end of last semester, the entire high school worked in their Tanach classes on a Project-Based Learning unit dedicated to understanding the meaning behind various mitzvot. Students chose mitzvot based on personal interest, and they then worked in groups to learn about their chosen mitzvah and to write explanatory papers.

Each group produced blogs or vlogs to reflect upon their personal engagement with the mitzvah. The student groups also produced creative videos to teach their peers about their mitzvah, and students gathered to view some of the best examples. Students enjoyed learning about mitzvot such as kashrut, tzitzit, shmirat halashon, tzniut, tefillah and others through their classmates’ parodies, music videos and news broadcasts.
