Parshat Shavua

Goal: To show the Chanichim that the world is not a coincidence, that God controls everything and so that they will appreciate what goes on around them.

AND: to try and get the Chanichim to be familiar with the creation (or at least with Parashat Bereshit).

To teach the chanachim the main events of Parshat Vayechi and hwo to work together through a Treasure Hunt.

1. To learn about the mitzvah of Pidyon Shevuyim

2. To think about the 8 Israeli MIAs

3. To consider what we can do to help the MIAs and fulfill the mitzvah of Pidyon Shevuyim

1. Slavery in

Egypt

2. What is true slavery and freedom?

3. The impact slavery in

Egypt continues to have on us.

Goal: The point of this Peulah is to teach the children about peer pressure, not because it has anything to do with the parsha necessarily. You should talk about peer pressure while at the same time stressing the importance of

Israel and other things. If you don’t know how to, just make something up the kids will have no idea.
