Judaic Studies
Parasha
Pesach
We enjoyed studying from our actual Hagadas that Rabbi kuritsky published for us!
We were able to fill in pertinent information as well as color and decorate it. Wow, what a fun and kinesthetic way of learning.
We are all ready to enjoy the two Sedarim, this coming Monday and Tuesday night.
Parasha
Parashat Metzora is all about the different ways that G-d sent messages to Jewish people to shape up, especially in the area of proper speech. The messages came in the form of spots on a person’s body, clothing/house. It was only in Eretz Yisrael, but never in Yerushalayim. It could have been sent for being overly haughty and or for being stingy.
We also learned that at times it was a blessing “in disguise”, as when the home was afflicted by a spot on a stone/stones, the stone/stones had to be removed. At times this was a way of HAshem helping the Jewish owner find a treasure hidden there by the previous Emorite dweller of that home.
