Circle time at the Beach!

Matzah factory

This week we learned about how the Jewish people left Mitzrayim/Egypt in a rush before King Paroh changed his mind. They didn't have time to take their cooked foods for the road so they placed dough on their backs and it cooked from the hot sun into flat Matzah.

The children were invited to experience how Matzah is made in our Mini Matzah factory.



The children themselves made the Matzah dough using flour and water and kneading it fast!
Kosher Matzah needs to be made under 18 minutes from beginning to end.


Dovi carefully placing his dough into the oven. Max and Levi flattening their Matzah and poking holes so it doesn't rise in the oven. We placed timers to help create a real experience.



Circle time at the beach!


The children earned up to a special trip to the beach by finishing their 'Moshe in me' jar.                     ( Each time a child did a caring deed they got to place a gem into the jar.)

What better way to learn about the splitting of the sea than visiting an actual ocean!
We learned about how King Paroh changed his mind and together with his fellow Egyptians ran after the Jewish people.
Hashem split the sea and the Jewish people enjoyed a dry and miraculous walk!
At the beach we tried to imagine what it might have felt like for all the water to split before us.


We placed sticks representing the Egyptians .  Yisroel and Levi found a very big one
"This is King paroh".


The caring acts continue..
Yehudis noticed Mimi looked cold and wrapped a towel around her.


"We are splitting the Sea in the sand"



Each of the children got turns holding a Morah's hand and feeling the refreshing water.



Thank you Shari Gold and Tracy Kryger for volunteering on our trip!


Creating fun memories together.





Enjoying a yummy healthy snack.
