Ometz Lev – New Judasim Module
Our PreK-7 students begin a new Judaism module today. Take a look at what your child will be learning.
Ometz means “strength” and Lev means “heart”. Ometz Lev literally means “strength of the heart” or “inner strength”.
Ometz lev is anchored in the second principle for caregivers working with people who have faced trauma: “calming”.
To regulate one’s emotionality, one needs to have inner strength, i.e., strength of the heart, to recognize when big feelings are taking over and to identify the appropriate coping tools to help return to a regulated state. Referencing Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, once a person’s physiological needs (food, water, air, shelter) are met, then safety needs must be taken care of, including one’s personal security, especially the ability to recognize and calm one’s big feelings.
Over the next 5 lessons, our children will be learning how to identify and modulate their own big emotions. You can join in their learning with the Family Schmoozes included in our curriculum.

Login instructions to log into your child’s Seesaw account are behind the Family Schmooze documents on the left side of the blue folder. You will be able to see your child’s assignments when using the Seesaw Class app which many parents have found useful.
