Breishit

Teach chanachim that Am Yisrael Worked incredibly hard to get Eretz Yisrael, just like the chanachim worked really hard to get the treat.  (You can go into details if there is time:  they did physical work, political negotiating…just like the tasks you did).  And they waited 2000 years to return to Israel, just like they waited for this, Do you really think that Am Yisrael can just give up Eretz Yisrael now, without a fight?!?

1. To learn the story of the

Tower of

Bavel

2. To think about the dispersion of the Jewish people today

3. To consider what linked us together in the past and continues to bind us together today

To teach the chanichim about (1) Rachel’s unique character, therefore (2) why she’s the only one of our Avot and Imahot who is buried in a different place, as well as (3) why Rachel was the only one who was able to convince Hashem to bring the nation out of exile.
