(Extra Credit will be given for the following:

Dear Parents,
Welcome to the new website! I hope your חנוכה vacation was fun and meaningful time
with your families. There is no homework log this week due to the short week. I will
try and upload new homework logs here as I have done in the past. Please feel free
to contact me with any questions or comments you have. In the meanwhile if you
would like to review at home with your son, we are holding in פרשת ויגש פרק מ''ז
פסוק ו (as of this writing) and in משנה we will begin the 3rd פרק of שבת this week. In נביא
we will be concluding פרק ו of ספר יהושע.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Wagshul
