The Second Temple

Teach about the Gevura of the Maccabim, as well as about the story of Chanuka

To teach about the heroism that occurred at

Masada, and about the history of that event.

To learn about the Bar Kochba Revolt which was a last attempt to liberate

Jerusalem from the Romans after the destruction of the Bayt HaMikdash. To discuss if the mass suicide at Massada was justified. Please note, Massada is not in

Jerusalem, but rather the

Negev. It is slightly off topic, but still a very important part of our story.

Objective

This peulah is less mussar, more celebration. We are going to rebuild the

Temple!!! (well, sort of )

plus, the usual history lesson

a little review on the importance of having a beit mikdash

To learn the story of the return to

Zion up until the halt of the building of the

Second 

Temple

To learn about the damage of rumors

"keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."

Aims OF Peula:

·        For the chanichim to have a better and clearer picture of the history of the Holocaust.

·        For them to realise that ALL Jews were persecuted regardless of what country they were in during the Second World War occupation.

·        To see that Nazi Germany made special laws against the Jews.

O     החניך ידע מהי סיבת חורבן הבית.

O     החניך יכיר כמה ירושלים יקרה לנו מתוך מנהגי האבלות ומרכזיותו של תשעה באב בעולם היהודי.

O     החניך ירצה בעז"ה להיות שותף לקירוב בניין בית המקדש ע"י הוספת אהבת חינם.
