  • Spark, the Tribe Parasha Activity Sheet That Will Help You Bring Judaism to Life in a Varied and Exciting Way

    Spark, the Tribe Parasha Activity Sheet That Will Help You Bring Judaism to Life in a Varied and Exciting Way

    Welcome to Spark, the Tribe Parasha activity sheet that will help you bring Judaism to life in a varied and exciting way. I’d like these activities to enthuse the children and show them how the Torah given almost 3500 years ago is still as relevant and as exciting in our lives today. Thank you for offering to run a Children’s Service, for all the hard work you put into it and for making a real difference to so many young people. The US is very proud of the numerous Children’s Services that are run every week across the UK and this would not happen without you. Spark gives you an overview of the weekly Parasha, songs, an activity, discussion questions or D’var Torah linked to the Parasha or important event that week. Every Children’s Service will be different, in terms of how many participants there are, their age range, its length and the varying abilities of the children. Please read through the document and find the activities that will best suit the needs of your group. It is advisable to read it before Shabbat in case there is some preparation that may be needed in advance. I am sure the children at your shul will benefit from Spark. Please be in touch if you have any queries, feedback or if we can be of any help. Thank you again for the work you do in enabling so many young Jews to access their heritage and traditions in such an exciting way. All it takes is a small spark of interest, to ignite a flame of passion for Judaism.

    Shabbat-B'shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015)

    Shabbat-B'Shabbato – Parshat Behaalotecha No 1577: 19 Sivan 5775 (6 June 2015) AS SHABBAT APPROACHES Testimony for All of Humanity - by Rabbi Oury Cherki, Machon Meir, Rabbi of Beit Yehuda Congregation, Jerusalem This week's Haftarah begins with the return of the Shechina – the holy Presence – to Zion and with the significance of this process for mankind: "Sing and be happy, daughter of Zion, for I am coming, and I will dwell within you – this is what G-d says. And many nations will join together with G-d on that day." [Zecharia 2:14-15]. The end of the Haftarah describes the Shechina as an image of a Menorah, similar to the one in the Temple. The proximity of the two images is taken by the sages as proof that the Menorah will serve as testimony for all of humanity that the Shechina dwells within Bnei Yisrael. It is true that the Menorah is placed outside of the Holy of Holies, such that at first glance it would seem that it is at a lower level of sanctity than the Ark of the Covenant, where the Torah is kept. This corresponds to the notion that the nation of Yisrael, including the appearance of the Shechina within it, is of minor importance when compared to the Torah. However, Rav Kook explains that this is only true from an external point of view, but that from an internal viewpoint – since the Torah was given for the sake of Yisrael and Yisrael preceded the Torah – the Menorah is indeed holier than the Ark.

  • Do You Know Parshat Shoftim

    Do You Know Parshat Shoftim

    QUESTIONS ON PARSHIOT NITZAVIM-VAYEILACH Q-1. (a) On what calendar date did Moshe present the covenant of Parashat Nitzavim to Bnei Yisrael? (b) Why did he address (1) “your tribal heads, your elders, your officers, all men of Yisrael,” since the words “all men of Yisrael” include the others (2 reasons)? (2) “your small children, your women” here, mentioning the children first, but in the mitzvah of Hakheil (31:12), he stated “the women, the small children”, listing the women first? (c) (1) Why is the word, “va- yashlicheim” (He will cast them [Bnei Yisrael into galut]), spelled with an enlarged lamed (2 reasons)? (2) Why is the city, Tzvoyim, written with a double yud? (d) (1) Bnei Yisrael are not blamed for preventing others from committing which sins (2 views)? (2) Why, in the Torah scroll, are there 11 dots over the words “lanu u-le-vaneinu” (for us and our children)? (Devarim 29:9-19,22,27-28) A-1. (a) On 7 Adar, which was the day that he died; (b) (1) Moshe indicated that the tribal heads, elders and officers (i) had assembled in front of the others (Rashi). (ii) would be responsible for preventing only sins that members of Bnei Yisrael did openly, not those that are committed in secret (Ohr haChaim). (2) Here, Moshe discussed Bnei Yisrael’s responsibility to keep all of the mitzvot, and while women are not obligated in all of the mitzvot, e.g. time-bound mitzvot, male children, when they grow up, will be obligated, and therefore the children are mentioned first here, but for the ceremony of Hakheil, women, who would comprehend the reading by the king, unlike children who would not understand it, are mentioned first; (c) (1) (i) This prophesizes the end of malchut Beit David in the 30th (lamed) generation, since Tzidkiyahu, the last king of Beit David, was the 30th generation after Yehuda (Rokeach).
