Parshat Devarim
In this week’s parsha, Parshat Devarim, Moshe starts his final speech to the Children of Israel. He reminds the people that God “multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the heavens in abundance.” This is a fulfillment of the promise God had made to Abraham back in Parshat Lech Lecha that his descendents would be as numerous as the stars of the heaven. Most kids love stars and glitter so this is a chance to do any variation of a star craft.
Materials:
Black oak tag
Silver and gold glitter or glitter paint
White glue
Instructions:Silver and gold glitter or glitter paint
White glue
1 – Draw the outline of star shapes
2 – Use a paint brush to fill in the shapes with watered down glue

2) Use tinfoil to make stars
3) Make a mobile of stars by hanging stars from a hanger or paper plate.
