Bo Parsha Summary I taught the children that every letter in the alef bet  corresponds to a number. ב =2 and א =1 which equals 3. In this week’s parsha  there are 3 Makkos - the numerical of equivalent of Bo is 3. We heard about Arbeh - locusts  which came in a giant wind and ate up all the crops and food. Then there was Choshech - darkness . First the Egyptians  couldn’t see anything and after 3 days, they were frozen in place. That’s when the Jewish people  looked to see where they kept their gold and silver for when it would be time to take it when they left Egypt .  It’s also when Hashem  punished the Jews  that didn’t believe they would be taken out of Egypt  or complained about it so that the Egyptians  wouldn’t see that they were getting punished too.  Hashem gave the Jewish people  the mitz

    Tu B'shevat, also known as the "New Year of the Trees," is a Jewish holiday that falls on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat. It is a time to celebrate and give thanks for the abundance of fruits and nuts that come from trees. Teaching little kids about Tu B'shevat can be a fun and interactive way to introduce them to Jewish traditions and the importance of environmental stewardship. One way to do this is by creating a Tu B'shevat-themed coloring page or puppet activity. Our  Tu B'shevat coloring pages  feature pictures of the shivat haminim - the 7 species of Israel, such as grapes, figs, pomegranates, and dates.  In addition to coloring pages, we also offer  Tu B'shevat puppets . These puppets can be used to act out stories or songs about the holiday, or to learn the significance of each of the 7 types of foods that Israel is blessed with. These puppets can also be used to help children learn more about the different fruits  that are eaten on

Watch a 20 second summary of Parshat Va'era. You can download these adorable puppets by clicking  here ! The set includes the entire Sefer Shemot. We also have coloring pages available  here . Va'era Parsha Summary We learned about how when Moshe  went to Pharaoh  and told him to let the Jewish people go. Pharaoh  said, who is this G-d? Moshe th rew his stick on the ground and it turned into a snake.  Pharaoh wasn’t impressed because his magicians were able to do the same thing. But when Moshe's  stick ate up the other sticks, the magicians couldn’t do that.  Hashem sent the first makka  of blood . Aharon  hit the    Nile river with the stick and it turned to blood. We learned that Moshe  didn’t hit the Nile  or the ground by  because the Nile  protected him when he was a baby and the ground also when he buried the Mitzri .  We learned about hakarat hatov - acknowledging when someone does something for us . If Moshe  had to be careful about the feelings of water and the g

Watch a 30 second summary of Parshat Shemot. You can download these adorable puppets by clicking here ! The set includes the entire Sefer Shemot. We also have coloring pages available here . Shemot Parsha Summary Pharaoh didn’t like that the Jews were having so many babies, so he tricked them into being his slaves and make them work very hard. The Jews had to build pyramids and all week we’ve been busy building pyramids out of all different things. We made pyramids out of blocks, lego, rings and even drew them on the white boards. Pharaoh decreed that the baby boys had to be thrown into the river because the astrologers told him that a Jewish boy would be born that would take the Jewish people out of Egypt.  Hashem made a miracle and angels took care of the boys and gave them rocks with milk and honey. Yocheved had a baby boy that she hid for 3 months. When he was born, the house was filled with light. Then she painted a basket with tar on the outside and put the baby in it and put it
