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

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

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

Parsha Summary In this week's parsha, we learn about Yosef's 2 dreams. In one, the sun, moon and stars are all bowing down to him, and in the other, the stalks of wheat are bowing to his center stalk. Yaakov also makes Yosef a special colored coat. His brothers get jealous and conspire to get rid of him. First they throw him in a pit and then he gets sold to Egyptians. In Egypt while working for Potiphar, Yosef gets thrown in jail. There, he meets the king's baker and butler. He interprets their dreams for them. Click here  for a parsha song.

Parsha Summary Yaakov lived in Mitzrayim for 17 years and was very happy surrounded by all his children. It was coming time for Yaakov to pass away and he wanted to bless his children. He called in Yosef with his sons, Menashe and Efraim. Menashe was the firstborn but Yaakov switched his hands and put his right hand on Efraim’s head because Yehoshua would come from Efraim and bring the Jews into Eretz Yisroel. We demonstrated this whole scene and learned to identify our right and left hands. We’ve been using our "Efraim hand" for Shema and to make a bracha. The right hand is more special so we use it to make a bracha unless you’re a lefty.  We learned what the b
