Ancient Jewish Home reconstruction

A reconstructed interior of one room of an israelite house, monarchy period.
Israelites lived in nuclear households, often with their relatives in clusters of houses around a common courtyard. Houses were made of mudbrick with a stone foundation and perhaps a second story of wood. The living space of the houses consisted of three or four rooms, often with sleeping space on the roof or in a covered roof loft. One of the first-floor rooms was probably a courtyard for domestic animals, mostly sheep and goat.

Bereshit - the fifth day

In the Torah's opening reading, Bereishit, G‑d creates the world in six days and rests on the seventh. Adam and Eve eat from the Tree of Knowledge and are expelled from the Garden of Eden. Cain slays Abel and is punished accordingly. Enumeration of the ten generations between Adam and Noah, the birth of Noah, and the degeneration of mankind.
We still focus on the section that recounts the story of creation in six days. On the first day G‑d made darkness and light. On the second day He formed the heavens, dividing the "upper waters" from the "lower waters." On the third day He set the boundaries of land and sea and called forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixed the position of the sun, moon and stars. 

Fish, birds and reptiles were created on the fifth day

 

Create a DIY sea diorama inside an upcycled jar. It is easy  to make and simple while talking about the days of creation with children. Use some gravel or shells dust ( you can find it at pet shops), add some small pebbles, an plant for aquarium and a coloured stone. Finish with one or two toys fishes. Take care to add boiled  water or distilled water to prevent lime deposits.
