Becoming a Jew

Parshas Yisro who was Moshe's father in law and heard all the miracles that happened to the Jewish people and wanted to become a Jew!

Yisro, visited our class and acted out how he loves Hashem and all that He did. When Kfir heard that he got up and covered 'his' eyes and said "Say Shema!" was such a sweet moment.

The Jewish people after traveling in the desert got to Har Sinai where Hashem was going to give them the precious Torah. 

The world was quiet and a miracle took place that all who was blind could see all imperfections were healed. Our friends creating their own Har Sinai scene.

Learning how the Torah was written using a feather and ink. We had fun trying to do it themselves.

Prk learned the letter Lamed and Mem!

Nechama, tracing letters and practicing their names.

Alef Beis knetic sand was a fun and sensory way to review and a spot it game helped our friends think quick on their feet.

Delicious Shehakol

Brachas Unit

These next week's we will be learning all about our Brachas- blessings on the foods we eat.

This week we focused on the Bracha of Shehakol- liquids, proteins candy.. There are many different foods in this category. 

With our friends help we graphed different items with the Bracha of Shehakol and voted if it was their taste or not.

Nechama showing  us salmon is the Bracha of Shehakol.

Avraham showing his friends lolly pops and seeing how many friends like them.

Mordy, wanted pears and apples to go in!

Happy Tu B'shvat!

This week's Torah portion of Beshalach,  the Jewish people miraculously walked through the sea that Hashem split for them. 

Nachshon was a great model by being the first person to trust Hashem that it WILL split and he walked in the sea up until his nose and than Hashem split the waters!

The Jewish women, believed all along that Hashem would save them so they had their tamborines with them when they left Mitzrayim. After the splitting of the sea they broke out in song and dance thanking Hashem.

This Shabbos is called Shabbos Shira- Song!

We made our own tambourines and drew what Mitzvah they wanted to do to bring the redemption we are all waiting for!

Tu B'shvat,comes out on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Shvat when the trees in Israel start their blooming season. There are 7 special fruit of Israel that we customarily eat on the holiday.
