Shabbath Shalom

parashah Balak

A frightened king and a greedy prophet, a sword-wielding malach and a talking donkey.
A no sewed felt and foam donkey puppet to make Bilam donkey.
You need brown felt, brow and red foam paper, glue and a brow marker .

In the morning, Balaam saddled his donkey and departed with the dignitaries, but G.d was incensed at his going and placed an angel in Balaam’s way. (Bamidbar 22:21–22.) When the donkey saw the angel standing in the way holding his drawn sword, the donkey swerved from the road into the fields, and Balaam beat the ass to turn her back onto the road. The angel then stationed himself in a lane with a fence on either side.  Seeing the angel, the donkey pressed herself and Balaam’s foot against the wall, so he beat her again.  The angel then stationed himself on a narrow spot that allowed no room to swerve right or left, and the donkey lay down under Balaam, and Balaam became furious and beat the ass with his stick.  Then G.d allowed the donkey to speak, and she complained to Balaam.

 

parashah Chukat

 

Easy to make snakes from parashah Chukat. You just need some paper plates, markers and scissors.

 

Let the children color the paper plate after you draw a spiral, then cut following the spiral lines. 

The land was filled with poisonous snakes and people begin getting bit.  

Upon leaving Mount Hor to go around the land of Edom, the people grew impatient and another rebellion brewed. This time the people murmured not only against Moshè, but against the Lord Himself. Consequently, the Lord sent "serpents" (haNechashim haseraphim) that bit the people and many Israelites died. The people confessed their sin and appealed to Moshè for help, who then interceded on their behalf.
