Chavruta Learning

I am having difficulty thinking of something to post about because I think the topic of korbanot has been more than exhausted on this blog. Therefore I would like to discuss our chavruta learning in class. Usually when I hear Mrs. Perl say that we are going to be working in chavrutas, I get a little nervous because that implies that we won't have her to guide us in the pesukim and we will actually have to rely on ourselves to figure out the meaning and interpretations of the pesukim. That was how I felt when she announced this huge assignment that we're currently in the midst of completing. But although it's been frustrating because korbanot are probably the most difficult concept in the Torah, I have loved working with Carmit and I think that we work very well together! We each have different skills that when combined, make for very good teamwork! Chumash is truly the one class where chavrutas are an essential part of the class, and I am very grateful for having the opportunity to rely on ourselves for knowledge. Although, like I said, it is very very frustrating at times.
