Rambam's First Law of Tz'dakah Follow-Up Question

This assignment will be due Friday, February 27th.
I expect you to bring in a neatly written or typed complete paragraph answering the following question(s):

What is it about the giving of tz'dakah that leads Rambam to say that it is THE ONE MITZVAH/ COMMANDMENT that requires the MOST CARE in fulfilling it?

Please be thoughtful in your thinking and writing.
This is not a group homework assignment. Each student must complete his/her own work.

GREAT JEWISH WOMEN PROJECT

Assignment Question: What is/was GREAT JEWISH WOMAN X'S contribution to the greater Jewish world/greater world community?

If you have chosen a hollywood or other type of celebrity, please include information on more than her "famous" or professional achievements. For the most part, it is those acts that have made them great, not the movies or TV shows they've acted in, clothing they have modeled, or songs they have written.

Due Date: Friday, March 27th. We will make presentations after that date.

Clarification of K'doshim Homework - Due Friday 2/13

The three questions I posted last week for research can all be answered by looking in the parashat K'doshim packet that you all have. Some of you have pink sheets and some white. There are 3 pages, back to back copied (two Hebrew text, one English text).

I want you to read through the text of the parasha, using the questions as a guide to your reading. Answer the questions as you go.

For Question 1, Answer, what is the source of our holiness? I think #2 & 3 are pretty clear.

3 Questions for Parashat K'doshim - Due Thursday, Feb 12th

1) Where does the "holiness" of the Jewish people come from?

2) How many of the Ten Commandments are re-taught in the "Holiness Code?" List the chapter and verse for each one you find.

3) Find examples of other laws given in the Parasha that build the Holiness Code or make us holy (at least five examples).
