Parshat Bereishit Parshat Lech Lecha Parshat Noach
January 1, 2016
On Wednesday, the entire Early Childhood family celebrated the completion of the first book of the Torah, Sefer Bereishit! All week long, the children reviewed the Parshiot in the Sefer and prepared two Parsha booths for our interactive Siyum. Each grade gathered in the gym for a mini lesson connecting the table activities to the Parsha depicted at each station. The children then enjoyed the hands-on Parsha activities at each station. Thank you to the 7th grade girls who helped run the different booths and helped make this fair a success. Thank you to all the parents who were able to join us. We hope you enjoyed as much as we did.
Parshat Bereishit Make the 1st day of creation. Light/Dark
Parshat Noach
Hashem promised Noach that He would never bring a Mabul to destroy the world again. What was the sign He gave Noach? Let’s make a rainbow!
Parshat Lech Lecha Be one of Avraham’s stars. Hashem promised Avraham that his descendants will be as many as the stars in the sky.

Parshat Vayeira Come be a guest in Avraham’s tent.
Parshat Chayei Sarah Make a Hadlakat Neirot frame. One of the miracles in Sarah’s tent was that her Shabbos candles stayed lit from Shabbos to Shabbos!
Parshat Toldot Decorate a cookie to look like Yaakov or Eisav.
Parshat Vayeitzei Make a ladder, just like the ladder in Yaakov’s dream. Don’t forget to make Yaakov sleeping on the bottom.
Parshat Yayeishev Make Yosef’s colorful coat, Ketonet Passim.
Parshat Miketz Make Paroah’s dream of the 7 skinny cows swallowing the 7 fat cows, but not getting any bigger. Yosef interpreted this as 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine.
Parshat Vayishlach Daven like Yaakov. What do you ask Hashem for?
Parshat Vayigash Make Serach’s harp. Serach played on her kinor, “Yosef is alive!”
Parshat Vayechi Get a bracha from Yaakov Aveinu.
For Parshat Vayechi, the kindergartners wrote brachas (using inventive spelling) for all the children, just like Yaakov gave a bracha to all of his children. When the children approached the booth, they took a bracha from Yaakov Avinu and Morah read it to them.
We ended the program by singing, “Chazak, Chazak, V’Nitchazek!” Morah taught us that when we learn Torah it makes us stronger and stronger! We got a double thumbs up from Morah for completing the first book of the Torah. We are so excited that we already began to learn the from the 2nd book of the Torah, Sefer Shemot!
On Sunday evening we had a wonderful time at the Hamalach Hagoel Chesed program. We discussed the Mitzvah we have been working on, Zerizut, and connected it to our wonderful Chesed project: collecting shoes, tights, leggings and socks for the Monsey Shoe Gemach so that ALL children can “run” to do a Mitzvah! We then heard a wonderful story about using our feet to “run” to do Mitzvot! Here are some pictures from the event.
Project Time:
The children created beautiful sneaker necklaces out of black magic and colorful beads. They will wear their necklaces to remind them to always do their Mizvot B’Zerizut, in a snap!
After the projects, we sat back down and reviewed the week’s Parsha and remembered how Yaakov gave all of his children a Bracha. We discussed how Yaakov gave his grandsons a very special Bracha. We went under Rabbi Jacobson’s BIG tallis. We listened as the Rabbi gave us a special Bracha and then sang Hamalach Hagoel all together!
