This weeks Torah Portion is Va'eira. It is the start of the Jewish peoples end of their hard years in Mitzrayim.
Why did Hashem need to send TEN plagues!
Couldn't one be enough?
We learned that the reason there was 10, was because each one taught Pharoah in another way, the idea that EVERYTHING comes from Hashem!
Pharoah thought HE could make water turn to blood, you don't need "HASHEM" to do that!
He also thought HE could make frogs multiply, or cause animals to die. But each plague reinforced to him that it is truly HASHEM that is running the world and controlling everything.

Making our own Niles full of 'blood' with all the smelly dead fish in them.
We learned that the only way the Mitzriyim were able to get clean water was if they payed the Jews! even if it was in the same cup it would change.
We had pretend play including juices like lemon and orange juice :)
Starting from the mouth our friends "Ribbited" the little frogs out onto the Aleph Beis letters it matched to on the big frog.
Plague of wild animals
Tadpole making
Plague of boils!
On Tuesday 24th of Teves, it was the special day of the Alter Rebbe's Yahrzeit!
We are so lucky to be students of the Rebbe who showed us a new dimension of the world. We focused on the theme of the Alter Rebbe giving us the Tanya which are secrets to conquering our Yetzer Hara inside us! Looking through the magnetile we related it to the lesson of seeing things through a different eye. He opened our eyes to see the world as constant lessons in refining ourselves and making the right choices.
A special rally with Rabbi Lang!
Happy Birthday Chana!
We love you so much
Aleph Beis
This week we focused on the letters Mem, Final Mem , and Nun.
To differentiate between both of the Mem's we played a fun stop and go game that included them seeing the letters switch fast and identifying what it is.
Using colored tape we traced out the letter Nun.
Enjoying the warm and sunny days this week.
The sand was great for building from all the rain last week :)
Thank you Dentist Noam for visiting us and teaching us all about keeping our teeth healthy!
