Siddur treasure hunt in the playground
The students in Kita Bet are completing a siddur treasure hunt in the playground at Beth El.
The clues are hanging up throughout the playground.
Hebrew School K-3rd Congregation Beth El
This week, we Started work on our own Torah scroll, learning the story of Creation (Breishit) from the book of Genesis. We each made one or two pages showing the order of creation. We also began to study the prayer “Yotzer Or” in which we thank God for creating light, darkness, peace and everything. It is a morning prayer and comes in the shma section, directly after barchu.
Some of the kids got to work with the attached vocabulary cards, but some did not. They can be cut up as flash cards, sounded out, or used for other games that I will teach as we move on.
Kindergarden and Third Grade Class
The kindergarten to third grade class learned about mezuzot after learning to sing the sh’ma. They looked at a real scroll, which has the sh’ma and a few other paragraphs, including v’ahavta. Everyone copied or traced the sh’ma onto their own “scrolls” and decorated the plastic bottles.

שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָד
Listen, Israel. Adonai is our God. Adonai is one.
