Water Well : Chayei Sarah
In this week’s parsha, Parshat Chayei Sarah, Abraham’s servant finds a wife for Isaac at the typical Biblical pick-up spot, the water well. Rebecca is chosen because of the kindness and generosity she displays in offering water to the servant and his camels. You can talk to your children about different types of water wells and how they work. You can also talk about the importance of water and the importance of sharing our resources with others. Make sure to put your finished wells as centerpieces on your Shabbat table to spark conversation about the Parsha!
Welcome Mat: VaYera
In the beginning of this week's Torah reading, Parshat Vayera, three men (aka angels) appear at Abraham's tent. Abraham immediately runs to greet them, bow to them and feed them. This craft teaches your kids the value of welcoming your guests!
Painted Footprints
Glitter Globes
Parshat Lech Lecha
God promises to make Abraham into a great nation, with as many descendants as stars in the sky. We're celebrating STARS this week.
Parshat Noah Napkin Rings
Do you want to celebrate the rainbow without adding too many artificial colors to your food? Look through your basket of old ribbons and notions -- I found a spool of rainbow covered ribbon and afixed it to some old napkin rings. Or, consider using a different color ribbon as a napkin ring for each napkin -- make your whole Shabbat table look like a rainbow!
Rainbow Challot
You can highlight Parshat Noah from the start of your meal with these rainbow sprinkle challahs -- so easy and fun, your kids will beg you to do it themselves! (These are my kids' masterpieces!)
Rainbows Everywhere!!!
This week we can’t get enough of Noah and his rainbow! There are so many easy (and delicious!) ways to bring the rainbow into your home this week. So thank Noah (and our intrepid bakers Pesha Fisher, Micol Bayer and Shefa Weinstein) for inspiring a whole line of mouth-watering foods.
Rainbow Necklaces: Noah
Parsha Craft
After the devastating flood, God promises Noah that he will never destroy the world in this way again. As a sign of this covenant, God places a rainbow in the clouds. Kids will love dyeing their own pasta, stringing it, and wearing rainbow necklaces this week.
