Breishit

To learn the story of Akeidat Yitzchak

To understand that Akeidat Yitzchak took place on what is now known as Har Habayit.

To discuss the issue of faith and trust in both Hashem and other people in relation to Akeidat Yitzchak and our everyday lives

Topic: Following the themes of brotherhood in the parshot of Bereshit.

Goal: To have the chanichim think about their roles as siblings, and as siblings with all of Am Yisrael.

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.

Just as G-d is creative so to we should be creative. How can we add to this world? What can we as teenagers accomplish?
