Parashah Shemot

Now Moshè was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of G.d. 
There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moshè saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 
So Moshè thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.
BURNING BUSH luminar jar

Cut out the out line of a bush from some card stock paper.
Glue it in the inside of a clear glass jar or container.
Using liquid school, glue yellow tissue paper on the outside of the glass jar. You should not be able to see the out line of the bush from the outside.

Once the tissue is dry, put a lit tea light in the jar and watch the bush magically appear to be burning without being consumed!

parashah vayechi

Shevatim poster
Yaacov summoned all his sons, and delivered to each a poetic, and sometimes cryptic, parting personal message. Reuben was chastised for his impetuousness and for "ascending upon his father's bed." Shimon and Levi were rebuked for their anger, which expressed itself in the killing of the Shechemites and the attempted execution of Joseph. Judah was blessed with monarchy, success in waging battle, and an abundance of wine and milk in his portion. Zebulon was blessed with success in his sea-trade endeavors. Yaacov likened Issachar to a thick-boned donkey who finds both rest and ample work. Dan was blessed with the tenacity of a serpent and the ability to judge. Gad was blessed with bravery in battle. Asher's blessing: an abundance of olive oil. Naphtali was blessed with the speed of a deer. Joseph was recognized for his charm, suffering, and righteousness, and was showered with a variety of blessings. Benjamin was likened to a devouring wolf.
