PARSHA PUZZLE:
Rikki and
Shira were both excited,
They could hardly wait,
SHABBAT IMABBA:
Here
is a great way for my father and I to learn a little bit of Parsha each
week, even though we live far from each other.
( I like the play on words of Abba in the word Shabbat, and Imabba meaning "with Abba" and Ima Abba written together! The word bat is in there too, so it is complete :-)! Thanks Abba and Ima :-)!
In this week's Parsha, Hashem tells Avraham to look up at the sky and count the stars. If one looks up at the sky the stars seem very small and far away, but in reality they are very huge. According to the sfat emet, so too are Bnei Yisrael, in this world they are small, but in the world to come they will be very big. Each and every one is important and is a shining star!
They could hardly wait,
They wanted
Abba to come already,
He came back
a little late!
They missed
their Ima and they were ready,
To go into
the car,
They had to
drive to see their Ima,
She was a
little far.
She was in
the hospital, with a new baby,
It really
was a joy,
they waited
to hear the exciting news
they had a
little boy!
The Shalom
zachor will be Friday night,
they even
got to bake,
their
mother’s friend Devorah,
Helped them
bake a cake.
Their Abba picked
a mohel,
One who is
well known,
He was their
father’s mohel too,
His name is
Rabbi Krohn.
What a
perfect Shabbat,
The teacher
said in school
Can you
guess why davka Lech Lecha,
To have a
brit in shul?
PLAYING WITH THE PARSHA:
In this
week’s Parsha, Hashem told Avraham to
get up and go. Avraham did not ask any
questions and went to where Hashem told him to go. This game is a good follow the leader game. It is also a good game to play when you are
traveling with your siblings in a car.
Since Avraham traveled in the Parsha this is a good game to play.
Follow
the Leader. This
game requires at least four people. One person starts an action, like clapping
his hands, raising both arms up and down, or repeatedly touching his head. All
must follow this person, but at any time any other person in the group may
start another action. The object of the game is for everyone to watch and follow
the new action when it starts. The person who gets caught then becomes
"it."
LANGUAGE WEEKLY ACTIVITY:
Here is a fun activity to do for Parshat lech laecha...
Take a piece of colored paper and fold it in half. Cut a rectangular shape on the top middle part. Staple both sides of the paper and you now have a suitcase.
Ask the kids what a suitcase has to do with Avraham Avinu in Parshat lech lecha.
You can play the game: I went on a trip and brought apples, bannanas... (in alphabetical order) and each one takes a turn and sees if they could remember all of them. You can start with food items, then clothing, then games etc...
You can have the kids look through magazines and cut out things they might want to pack and place it in the suitcase they made.
You can have a guessing game where you put pictures in the suitcase and one picks out a picture and gives clues to the other person and they have to guess who it is.
You can decorate the suitcase with stickers, markers, glitter etc...
