Shabbat Shindig Mezuzah Making!!

The Tel Aviv class was so excited to welcome parents, grandparents, and siblings into our class for our Shabbat Shindig! We started off by sharing a bit of what we had learned about muzuzot this past week and the Tel Aviv class lead everyone in a beautiful singing of the Shama! The children showed their family members the muzuzot they had created and got to work on creating a personal klaf, a personal scroll to put inside of the mezuzah. There were English and Hebrew blessings to choose from and parents had the opportunity to write their own blessings. Children glued the blessings in and drew pictures around the words. Then the scrolls were taped up and muzuzot were ready to take home!

I am so pleased of how proud each student was of the mezuzah they had created. Lily and Hannah’s families have already sent in pictures of their mezuzah on their doorposts! If anyone else has hung them up please share! We would love to see! It has definitely been a neat and creative week and we were so glad to have families come in to share it with us. Thanks so much for visiting and learning with us. It was a wonderful morning!

A Mezuzah in the Community Room!

While we were in the community room Dylan enthusiastically pointed out that there was a mezuzah on one of the doors! The children rushed to see it. We noticed that it had a gold Shin, which is now a letter that most of the Tel Aviv students recognize. They also saw that it had a special scroll behind the pretty piece of glass. The students liked touching the glass and seeing the swirly colors in it. Many of them said they also used blue and green in their mezuzot that they made in the classroom. It’s so great to see how the enthusiasm surrounding mezuzot has grown throughout the week. We are so excited to share it with our friends and family this Friday at our Shabbat Shindig!
