Tetzaveh Parsha Summary

We learned about the bigdei kehunah - the garments that the kohen wore and the kohen gadol - the high priest. 

We learned about the 4 garments of the Kohen and what they were. We also learned about the  8 bigdei Kohen gadol and what was special about them. 

We learned about the mizbeach hazahav - the gold altar that the ketores was brought on. We learned about the miracles of each of the keilim in the mishkan.

 

Mishkan Set: Full-Color Puppets & Coloring Pages

Teaching the Mishkan can be challenging, but hands-on visuals make it easier! Our Mishkan Puppets & Coloring Pages Set helps children engage with Parshas Teruma, Tetzaveh, Vayakhel, and Pekudei. It includes full-color puppets and props of the Mishkan and its keilim, plus coloring pages of the Kohen, Kohen Gadol, and key vessels like the Aron and Menorah. Use the puppets to act out the Mishkan’s setup and the coloring pages to reinforce learning. Perfect for circle time, storytelling, or bulletin boards, this set makes learning interactive and fun!

• I placed the pictures of the keilim of the Mishkan in sheet protectors. I had the kids use playdough to create the Keilim, either by placing it on top of the pictures or by creating their own. We molded different keilim of the Mishkan from playdough and drew our parsha picture with highlighters - “gold”!

V’atoh tetzaveh

The Jews were told by Moshe

To bring shemen for pure light

For the Menorah to burn bright

Chorus:

Aharon was chosen to be

The Kohen Gadol from shevet Levi

He wore many special things

And a choshen with gold rings

The choshen was made for him

It had the names of the twelve sh’vatim

All the clothes had to fit just right

He served Hashem with all his might
