Shabbat School

In Shabbat School last week, we explored the plagues of the Passover story. We learned how Adonai’s deliverance of B’nei Yisrael from Egypt demonstrated that He alone was the one true G‑d. This Shabbat we return to the portions in Leviticus to learn about “clean” and “unclean”.

Last week at Shabbat School, we learned about the Plate from the Passover. We made a representation of the elements on the plate to remind us of the elements and what they mean. Next Shabbat we continue learning about Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread and what is tells us about ADONAI and the Exodus from Egypt.

This last Shabbat, we explored more about the concept of Holiness and we even did a science experiment to illustrate our lesson. Vayikra, And He Called Just like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in everything you do. 1 Peter 1:15 TLV     Next week we are going to have a special lesson to prepare for Pesach.

Last week at Shabbat School we learned about the Table of Shewbread and about our worship. This week we begin the book of Vayikra with another look at holiness and what it means to us as disciples of Yeshua.

Last week at Shabbat School we learned that G‑d has given His people the Shabbat as a sign, not just to separate the day for Him, but also as a reminder that He wants a special relationship with us. We want the kids to understand in today’s life how we can please G‑d by keeping the Shabbat in a practical way. Next week, in our portion Vayak’hel, we will be learning…

This past week in Shabbat school we had a special lesson for the Holiday of Purim. We learned how important it is to protect Adonai’s people. Esther and Mordecai were able to stand up for her people and we can do the same. Next week we return to our Torah Portions with Ki Tisa and we will learn about what Adonai tells us about the Shabbat.

In Shabbat School this week, we began discussing the Tabernacle, Adonai’s dwelling place in the middle of His people. Understanding how to live a holy life can be complicated at any age, but holiness means living a life set apart for G‑d. With this lesson last Shabbat, we wanted our children to understand what it truly means to live a life set apart, not just within the…

We didn’t have Shabbat School last week, due to the winter storm in the area. If we had, we would have read about the Children of Israel worshipping at the Red Sea. Worshiping G‑d is not an activity reserved just for adults during services; actually, it should be reflected throughout our lives and include the lives of our children. We want to help the children…

This week in Shabbat School, we talked about Moses coming before Pharaoh and asking him to let Adonai’s people go. In life, G‑d sometimes repeats His messages because we don’t listen the first time. Usually, His initial communication is gentle, but if we ignore it, He will use other means to get our attention, often through uncomfortable circumstances. In this Parashat,…

This past week at Shabbat School, we started the book of Shemot (Exodus). We began to give the account of one of the most important stories for the people of Israel to this day: the start of the Hebrews’ freedom from captivity in Egypt and G‑d’s care and provision during the Exodus. More than just a biblical story, we want our children to understand that these…
