Vayachel-Pekudei: Resources and ideas

This week is a double parsha. We’re continuing on with the mishkan, reviewing what to make, the clothing for the cohenim, and then actually making the pieces and assembling the mishkan. Bnei Yisrael gave and gave of the precious materials needed, so much so that Moshe had to ask them to stop! After everything is …

Bo: Resources and project ideas

This week’s parsha starts with two plagues: locusts and darkness. Hashem hardens Pharaoh’s heart so he doesn’t let the Israelites go. Then comes the one that breaks Pharoah: the death of the firstborn. The Israelites get their first mitzvah: to establish a calendar based on the moon. Then we get instructions on the Passover sacrifice …

Mikeitz: Resources and project ideas

Parshat Mikeitz This week, we continue on Yosef‘s story, picking back up with him in Egypt. While in jail, he had interpreted a dream for the wine steward, and Pharoah had some dreams that no one can interpret (involving cows and grains), so he gets Yosef out to interpret.  Pharoah is pleased, and lets him …

Chayei Sarah project photos

Chayei Sarah: My kids did a reenactment of this part of the parsha with little people. (Yes, “Rivka” is carrying a kitty. Pretend that it’s a water jug, OK?) Then we did the wedding cake balls we decided upon (recipe here.) Messy, but really fun – and we got friends to help out, too! Last, …
