This weeks Torah portion is called Chayei Sarah- the life of Sarah, but the first thing that the Parsha tells us is that she passed away!
Sarah was 127, but for her whole life,
she was as wise as a 100 year old, as beautiful as a 20 year old and as happy as a 7 year old!
Its called Chayei Sarah, because you can know
if someones life is good, by looking at their children!
Avraham sent his servant Eliezer to Charan to find a wife for his son Yitzchak.
The journey through the desert was supposed to take 17 days, but Hashem made a miracle and shortened the journey to only one day!
Enjoying the sensory experience of desert sand.
Eliezer brought 10 camels with him to Charan
Eliezer asked Hashem to give him a sign of who should be the right wife for Yitzchak, he said
someone who would give water for him and his camels to drink.
Right as he finished saying that, he saw a girl coming to the well, the water rose up towards her
and she offered to give water to him, and his camels!
It was Rivka! Eliezer realized right away that this was the girl for Yitzchak and gave her beautiful jewelry.
We made some beautiful jewelry in school too!
A-lot of people in Charan were not good, but Rivka was!
the Torah calls her "a rose among thorns"
making a beautiful rose art. The black outline makes the beautiful colors shine even more brightly, just like Rivka!
We always want to be like Rivka and make good choices
even when people around us are making bad ones.
When Rivka came to Eretz Yisroel, the three miracles that had stopped when Sarah passed away came back!
Her candles stayed lit from week to week, there was always enough challah for everyone who came and the cloud rested on top of the tent.
Incorporating math skills into our morning centers.
Our highlight of the week is showcased in our "All About Chicks" book.
We have gained so much valuable information through this extended project!
These were our first two baby chicks!
