Welcome to EXP

Shana Tova! I hope that you had a good summer.

In EXP (=Explorations in Judaism), we will be studying many aspects of Judaism in a hands-on way. 

Whenever a quiz, test, or any homework

is assigned in class, I will post it on this blog - explorationsinjudaism.blogspot.ca. Be sure to check the blog after 4 pm on any day when you miss a class to see if any work was given out. 

I'm looking forward to having a great year together!
