Shelach | שלח | “Send”
Torah Portion: Shelach- Send Forth-
Numbers 13:1-15:41;
HafTorah:
Joshua 2:1-24;
Brit Chadashah:
Hebrews 3:7-19
Joshua and Caleb reporting that the land was good and if YHVH wants them to have the land than they will be able to get it.
the Tzit-Tzit commandment
also take time to go over the different offerings.......
Crafts or activity ideas for this torah portion:
Josh and Caleb: Ask the Question what made Josh and Caleb right and what made the other's wrong?why did the other's lie?
What was Josh and Caleb's reward?
Draw a picture of the things that they found in the land that YHVH promised them
then draw a picture of all the different scary things that the spies saw!!!
Sabbath breaker:
This is a perfect opportunity to go over the rules of sabbath with the kids and write them down or draw them.
craft Idea: take a rock and have the kids write on it I will not break sabbath
this can serve as a reminder that we can be punished for WILLFUL SIN and we need to be careful.
The Offerings: there are so many offerings it might be fun to draw the offerings and keep them in a binder. that way you have a book of all the offerings that we are supposed to do.
Tzit-Tzit:
Make tzit tzits with your kids so that they can know what to do!!!
These are just some of the ways to do it. This is not how we do it so I will try to post pics of what we do on my blog walk in torah and I will link on here when I do. but I do think it is important for any learning that you should make your own descision on how you do things like this like this with so many options it also might be a good lesson for the kids on different ways people do this and ask them which way they like the best.
Tzitzit custom |
|---|
| It is a positive commandment to put tzitzit on any four cornered garment that you wear, as it says in Numbers 15:37-41: |
| The Lord said to Moses as follows: Speak to the Israelite people and instruct them to make for themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout the ages; let them attach a cord of blue to the fringe at each corner. That shall be your fringe; look at it and recall all the commandments of the Lord and observe them, so that you do not follow your heart and eyes in your lustful urge. Thus you shall be reminded to observe all My commandments and to be holy to your God. I the Lord am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your God: I, the Lord your God. |
