Divrei Torah

This Parsha thought by Rabbi Yitzchok Sanders is shared with the 3rd grade students weekly. It highlights the many lessons of Derech Eretz found in the Parsha which are relevant to strengthening Middos Tovos. Hopefully, by bringing focus to the character traits which are the building blocks of moral development and having the students share their Divrei Torah at the Shabbos table, we can join in a partnership with parents to create Mentschen of our children.
