This morning the children held up the Torah. Rabbi Jay asked the children to pretend that their hands were pillows supporting the Torah as he unrolled it. The children learned that the Torah is a book in the form of a scroll and that it has lots and lots of Hebrew letters.
Rabbi Jay told the children that when they turn 13 they will learn to read the Hebrew in the Torah. It takes one entire year to read the Torah from one end to the other and then we read it all over again.
I love this picture- they look so proud to be holding the Torah
ReplyDeleteWhat a special moment. Josh has been talking a lot about this.
