In my Jewish studies class here at OJCS, I made a project called My Mishpacha Project. The Mishpacha Project provided me with an opportunity to learn more about my family history and I took that opportunity happily. I go to learn in eminence detail about my family’s past and where I came from. Not only that but also different traditions my family has had for generations, the different meanings of my name, why my parents chose my name etc. I think you get the point. Two things that were interesting to me when I was learning were:
- I learned my full name is a literal sentence: Tehila Tova Yehudit Shapiro translates to “Good Jewish praise.”
- I also learned so much about my family that I could not even put the full history in detail and had to shorten my project so that it wouldn’t be too long.
If I had to change something about my project I would add the full story of my family history.
This is just a little drop of my project. To see my full project, see below.
