Parsha Craft: Beshalach. Miriam’s Tambourine.
In this week’s Parsha, Parshat Beshalach (read on Shabbat Shira – the Shabbat of Song), Miriam, the sister of Moses, leads the women of Israel in song after crossing the Sea of Reeds. As it says in the Torah, “Miriam, the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women came out after her with timbrels and with dances.” This is a great opportunity to sing and dance with our kids and recreate the splitting of the sea.
