There is a mitzva for us to count 49 days, 7 weeks, between Pesach and Shavuot. In fact, the Torah doesn’t even give us a date for Shavuot, it simply tells us that it is the 50th day after Pesach. Originally this time was the period that we could not eat new wheat. On shavuot they would bring the korban omer, and then wheat grown that year could be eaten.

A story for Pessach

the chanichim should think about the importance of leadership and how

leadership impacted Yetziat Mitzrayim and the Jewish people today. They also

should think about how they can lead their friends and community too.

Goal: The chanichim should think about the importance of leadership and

different leadership styles, and should work together to understand their own

leadership styles and how to grow as leaders individually and together as a

group. Then they can reflect on the different leadership styles of Moshe as he led the Jews out of

Egypt.

לקראת חג הפסח "זמן חירותנו" ננסה לעסוק בשאלות:

מיהו עבד ומיהו בן חורין אמיתי? מה הופך אדם לבן חורין – לאדם חופשי?

כדאי להציג את השאלות האלו בשולחן השבת כשאלות פתיחה לדף הלימוד, ולשמוע דעות שונות.

As we approach Pesach, “the time of our freedom” we will attempt to deal with the following questions:

What is the definition of a slave and what is the definition of a truly free person? What transforms someone into a free person? It is worthwhile to ask these questions at the Shabbat table as opening questions for the study sheet and to entertain different opinions.
