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 …

Va’eira (in Shemot / Shemos) We continue the story of the exodus from Egypt this week in Va’eira (Vaera, Vayeira). God tells Moshe he will redeem the Israelites. Aaron and Moshe continually ask Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, and he continually refuses. Aaron’s staff turns into a snake, but Pharaoh’s magicians could do that, too. …

Vayechi Summary: This parsha closes out both the life of Yakov and of Yosef. First, we see Yakov’s remaining 17 years. He blesses Ephraim and Menashe and each of his sons–not equal blessings, but something unique to each. Then he dies and his body is carried in a long processional and buried in the Cave …

Parshat Vayigash: Here we clear up the cliffhanger from last week’s parsha and finish the story of Yosef. When Yosef sees their loyalty, he reveals who he is and forgives them for selling him. He gives them lavish gifts. The brothers go back and get their father, who lives out his life in Egypt with …

Here is how our parsha projects this week (Mikeitz) turned out. We drew and laminated fat and skinny cows. We made some goblets (like Yosef’s), some dreidles, and some gelt out of clay, and later painted them. We found and made other things around the house to include in our I-spy boxes. We put rice …

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 …

This week, we see Yaakov fleeing from Esav. On the way, he lays his head on a rock (or 12 small rocks that fought to be under his head and were transformed into 1, according to midrash) and sleeps. Hashem visits his dream of angels on a ladder, and tells him he will bless him. …

This week’s parsha is full of things we wouldn’t normally talk to our kids about (except for some to say not to do them!): Infertility struggles for Yitzchak and Rivka, eventually resulting in a difficult pregnancy and twins Esau and Yaakov, parents favoring one child, kids fighting and selling a birthright for a bowl of …

This week’s parsha is Chayei Sarah, the life of Sarah. It starts with…her death. Avraham buries her in a cave he purchases. A family servant goes out in search of a women to marry Yitzchak, finds Rivka because of her kindness, and Yitchak marries her. Avraham remarries (and fathers other sons) and dies. He is …

This week’s parsha is Vayeira. As usual, a lot happens here: Abraham hosts three angels, who predict Sarah becoming pregnant. Sarah laughs. The angels rescue Lot from Sodom as it burns, while his wife turns into a pillar of salt. Yitzchak (Isaac) is born and has his brit. Then Abraham is commanded to sacrifice his …
