  • Water Well : Chayei Sarah

    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!

    Do you want to celebrate the rainbow without adding too many artificial colors to your food?
