Shabbat School

Shabbat School

What’s in a Name?

We had a fantastic class! Everyone arrived in pajamas, carrying stuffed animals and blankets. We turned off the lights and read the story about Jacob and his dream of angels ascending and descending the ladder. We also learned that Adonai is with us even when we feel lonely or scared. At the end, the kids recited their verses, and we celebrated with vanilla ice cream…

What’s My Purpose?

What is my purpose in life? That is a question that every human being asks themselves at some point. Last week’s lesson focused on how we’re connected in G‑d’s story and how He has a purpose for each of us—through Yeshua—to bless others. We want our kids to be confident that no matter what they face or how hard it gets, G‑d has a purpose for their lives.…

Being Children of G-d

This last Shabbat, the portion about Sarah’s life was a difficult topic to discuss with the children because it involves talking about death. Usually, as adults, we try to avoid that subject, but in reality every human being will face it sooner or later. Instead of skipping it, we decide to talk about how Adonai gives us comfort during tough times, just as He consoled…

Waiting on G-d

Last week in Shabbat School we had a wonderful time! The kids had some delicious hot chocolate, but since it was quite hot, they had to wait a little while for it to cool down before they could enjoy it. From this the kids learned that sometimes G‑d makes us wait, just like Abraham had to wait for G‑d’s promises to come true. This Sabbath, we will explore how the Torah…

G-d Keeps His Promises

Last week, we learned about Abraham and his obedience in leaving his land to go to a new place. We played on the floor with a special map. This week, we are learning about Abraham and Isaac, and how G-d keeps His promise. The Torah teaches that G-d promised Abraham he would be the father of a great nation. Despite his age and lack of children, G-d reassured him and gave…

Noah’s Ark and a Map

Last week was wonderful! The kids saw our Old Testament map projected on the classroom ceiling, and we discussed Noah’s Ark—where it might have been built and what land appeared after the flood. This week, we will focus on Abraham. Just as he trusted G-d and developed a personal relationship with Him, we can do the same through Yeshua. This allows us to be called children…

What’s New in Shabbat School?

Over the past week, we studied Parashat B’reisheet. We learned that God created everything from nothing using His voice in six days, including light, land, and animals. Adam and Eve were made in His image and given the responsibility to care for creation, along with the gift of the Sabbath. We also discussed how God’s perfect creation and His gift of Yeshua bring us…
