Mishpacha Project

(Please click on title for link to presentation)

We will discuss Jewish naming traditions and the naming process in this lesson. We were tasked with conducting an interview with our parents/family members. The purpose of this activity is for us to explore our family history. As we begin our journey through the Jewish life cycle, students are asked to engage their families in a discussion about their family history. This presentation has given me the opportunity to learn more about my family history and dive deep in to our family’s genealogy .Something I learned :I always thought that I was named after my Zaidy’s sister when really I was named after his half sister.Both my Zaidy and his half sister share a father.I also learned that my great grand father was one of ten children.If I were to redo this project I would try to use a family tree app/website to dive deeper into my family history.
