Topics In Halacha: Candelighting

This week's Topic In Halacha focuses on the mitzvah to light candles every Shabbat and Yom Tov. Information includes:

• who is required to light
• reasons for why we do this mitzvah
• procedure for lighting candles on Shabbat
• related laws

Students completed a notes page during guided Jigsaw instruction and submitted exit cards at the conclusion of the lesson. I use these to gauge each student's mastery of the content. Based on these exit cards, I will adjust the next day's extension activities accordingly and devised differentiated learning groups to best reflect the current 'readiness' levels among the class. Some will be ready to proceed to the next challenge, while others may need additional support before moving on.
