In this week’s parsha, Moshe continues his speech to Bnei Yisrael. Again, there is a blessing and a curse offered depending on observance of mitzvot. The Temple is identified as the only place for offerings, and a lot of the laws of kashrut are given or reviewed here: which birds and fish are kosher, how to give a portion of produce, and firstborn animals for the kohenim. Some laws of the sabbatical year and jewish servants are reviewed. And last, the tree pilgrimage festivals are listed; Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
Links: Here are the Aish, Torah.org, and Chabad pages on Re’eh. Here are some coloring sheets, a parsha song, and a fun video from Itche Kadoozy.
Ideas:
- Here’s a cookie take on the blessing vs. curse
- Here are some ideas about tzedaka from a Jewish Homeschool in NYC
- Learn about a healthy diet in this parsha summary from Adventures in Mama-land
- Here’s a kid friendly podcast
- A crossword puzzle from the parsha
- Make a dish from each of the three holidays listed, like Themed Thinking!
It seems many of the bloggers who do pasha projects are on vacation. Please share your ideas!

My kids made the two mountains and the river from three types of mashed potatoes. Mashed sweet potatoes for the ground and mountains, mashed white potatoes for the peaks and purple Peruvian potatoes for the river. They added broccoli for trees. 🙂
I also came up with a game for sorting clean and unclean stuffed animals into different laundry baskets (little boys like to throw things).

Great ideas! And yes, I’m very familiar with little boys and throwing. And my now 2 year old dd has found a love of throwing, too. 😉
