Montessori Classrooom 2 classrooom 2 2) In what context is the “the fnger of God” (Etzbah Elokim) mentioned? Where else in the Torah is the “the fnger of God” mentioned? 3)The Hebrew word for mask is masecha, yet in this parsha the word used instead is masveh. Who wears this “mask”? And in what two contexts does the word masecha appear in the parsha? Answers from last week: Tehila's Basya's 1)Moshe’s name does not appear in this parsha. Parshas Tetzaveh is the Pre Tween Girls Tween Girls only parsha in the book of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers where his name does not appear. One reason found in the Zohar (parshas Pinchas) Grades: 4 - 5 Grades: 6 - 8 is that Moshe told Hashem: “If You do not [forgive the Jews after the sin of the Golden Calf], erase my name from Your book” (Exodus 32:32). 10:00 am - 12:00 pm 10:30 am - 12:00 pm The words of a righteous person are fulflled even if the conditional statement is not. Thus, even though Hashem forgave the Jews, Moshe Classrooom 4 was “erased” from parshas Tetzaveh. 2) In this parsha, the chains attaching the breastplate to the vest (ephod) are “of braided craftsmanship” (Exodus 28:22).

Mendy's 3) A zeret, which measures a half-cubit, is the length and width of the Sholom's Hebrew School breastplate of the High Priest (Exodus 28:17).
