Parshat Haazinu
Congratulations to Emily and her family on their Aliyah!
In the second to last Parsha of the Chumash, Moshe looks at what he cannot have.
Introduction:At the end of this week’s Parsha, Parshat Haazinu, Moshe is permitted to view the Land of Israel from a distance, since he will die before the Israelites enter:
“That very day the Lord spoke to Moses: Ascend these heights of Abarim to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab facing Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving the Israelites as their holding… You may view the land from a distance, but you shall not enter it — the land that I am giving to the Israelite people.”
The Midrash explains that when Moshe looked into the Land, he had a vision of the entire Jewish future. Have a discussion with your kids about what they think Moshe might have seen – both literally and figuratively. Then, create a diorama to represent his vision. The diorama can represent the physical land of Israel – trees, mountains, rivers, sand, etc. Or, the diorama can represent a vision that Moshe might have had of the future Jewish people or the future State of Israel.
Materials:
A shoe box or packing box
Cardstock paper
Glue
Extras: sand, cotton balls, twigs, flowers, cellophane, magazine clippings, etc.
Directions:
1) Cut the top off of the box so that it has three sides and a bottom.
2) Cut paper to cover the back and the bottom of the box.
3) Cut out shapes for your diorama.
4) Make a fold on the bottom of each shape and put glue on the bottom of the fold to attach to the box.
5) Finish your diorama with additional decorations. Add a figure of Moshe if you wish.
*** Inspiration for this project came from my husband (thanks Andy!) and from the hundreds of packing boxes in our new home in Israel!
