We made it around again, and here we are – back at the very beginning! In this parsha, the first in the Torah, we start with nothing but Hashem. Then, Hashem creates the world in 6 days and rests on the 7th. The people Hashem created sin, and are forced from the Garden of Eden. They have two sons, one who murders the other, and then a third son is born.
Links: Here are the Aish, Torah.org, and Chabad pages on Beresheit (Beresheis). Here are some coloring sheets and a parsha song.
Ideas:
- Read a good parsha summary from Jennifer over at Adventures in Mamaland
- Make a creation wheel
- Make some parsha challot, like this
- Make a creation cake, adding different pieces as you learn about them
- Plan a themed Shabbat meal
- Look at Beresheit curriculum ideas
Please feel free to add more ideas – what do you think?

I just came across your blog and signed up. I think that your readers would be interested in my blog Enjoying the Bible Online as well as my books, which include: Enjoying Genesis: The Bible in Rhyme, Enjoying Exodus: The Bible in Rhyme, and Enjoying the Book of Esther: The Bible in Rhyme. These are all true to the Bible but written with a twist – they are all in rhyming couplets. Enjoying Genesis: The Bible in Rhyme Workbook is meant to get minds thinking and pens writing about the book of Genesis. You can view all of my books through my author page at http://www.amazon.com/author/marciagoldlist.
Thanks for your consideration,
I hope you take a look at my blog and books and let me know what you think!
