Around the World in Our Neighborhoods: A Virtual Adventure
Imagine exploring the world without leaving your desk! That?s exactly what students in the General Studies Level 1 class with Morah Rochel Abrams did. They wrapped up their Social Studies unit on homes, communities, states, and countries with a thrilling and interactive activity that brought their lessons to life. The project gave students from Crown Heights, Great Neck, Philadelphia, and New Jersey a unique opportunity to become virtual tour guides for their classmates, offering a glimpse into the places they call home.

To help her students connect with these intricate laws, she virtually brings them into her kitchen and makes each halacha come alive.
