Talked about the Biblical Feasts and why they are important (the Feasts are a shadow of things to come and point to Jesus/Yeshua)
Celebrated the New Moon (a symbol of renewal) and blew the shofar (a friend blew the shofar for us - so beautiful!)
Talked about who Biblical Israel is (if you believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel) you are spiritual seed and heirs according to the promise!)
If you would like to to do a neat family study on Biblical Israel I recommend One Nation Under God: A Family Study of Biblical Israel.
Here are some pics from our week:
We made hand-print menorahs and used our fingerprint to light the candles.
We made Potato Latkes and Falafel (Israeli Hamburgers made from chick peas). I made cucumber sauce to serve with the falafel over greens and hummus to serve on the side.
Here is Jordan displaying the Talit (prayer shawl). Up close is the corner where the tzitzits are attached. The tzitzits are tassels that are worn on the corners of your garments according to numbers 15.
Boys working on their flags and map.
Tonight we will watch a Jewish movie - Fiddler on the Roof and make Petel (PEH-tel), a pink raspberry flavored soda!
