Aims OF Peula:

·        To learn that each name has a meaning

·        To learn about the life of Rabbi Akiva

·        To think about what names say about a Person and why we are called Bnei Akiva

Objective

To learn the story of David’s conquest of

Jerusalem

To discuss the importance of having a capital city

War, good or bad?

Objective

To learn about the reign of Shlomo

To discuss the centrality of the Beit Hamikdash to the Jewish people

To discuss perfection in relation to Shlomo’s reign

Objective: This is a period of time so super infused with Jewish history that it is hard to find a main focal point. Unfortunately the chanichim are not going to want to sit through a three hour lecture about the rise of Christianity, the beautification of the Bayt HaMikdash and other important issues. Instead, we will focus our energy elsewhere. The reason behind the destruction of the Bayt Hamikdash- sinat chinam

Objective

 The objective of this peulah is to give kids an understanding of the years leading up to the churban. Chances are the chanichim do not know too much about this time period. Points to be discussed 

The split between Judah and the rest of

Israel.

The various kings that ruled.

The reign of Hezekiah, his trouble with Sennacherib, and his water supply for

Jerusalem.

Menasseh, the idol worshipping king of

Judah.

While understanding the history of the time is the main objective of this peulah the game will try to demonstrate how the split in

Israel was bad for the Jewish people
