History

To teach the chanichim as much as possible about the people who influenced the state of

Israel.

To understand the story of Ruth

1. To learn about the events surrounding the

cave of

Machpela.

2. To think about what it means to have a right to

Israel - What does or should ownership entail?

3. To understand the responsibility that goes hand in hand with possession.

Goal: The chanichim should understand why the Moreh Nevuchim was written and how Rambam used both Jewish souces and secular philosophy sources to find what he believed to be the truth (Torah and secular studies).
