Last week we had a visitor. Rabbi Albert from Beth Jacob came to OHDS to teach the Middle Schoolers about gratitude. We started a four session project about gratitude. The first person to express gratitude in the Torah was Leah, and she named her son Judah, which comes from the same root of “todah,” which means “thank you.”
In open Beit Midrash this week, we continued our learning about the OHDS middah, gratitude. Rabbi Albert taught us how in one story, when Judah admits that he is wrong, that he might have been saying thank you. We learned that maybe there is a deeper meaning of the Hebrew word for thank you, todah.
