Aleph Lesson 3/24

Hi Everyone,

We really miss seeing your smiling faces! Next week is Passover and we have a lesson and craft for you to do, plus a story below!

Let’s make a seder plate.

Color and cut out the pieces below and place them on a paper plate to make your seder plate.

On The Seder Plate we have the following :

1)The Bitter Herb- represents the pain of the enslaved Jewish People.

2)The Hard Boiled Egg - represents the spring season/renewal.

3)Karpas - parsley is dipped in salt water represents the tears of the Jewish people enslaved in Egypt.

4) Maror- horseradish represents the pain of the Jewish people being enslaved in Egypt.

5) Charoset - an apple, nut and wine mixture that represents the mortar which was used to hold the bricks together.

6)The Shank Bone - represents sacrifices made by the Jewish people.

Here is a video of Morah Lisa reading a book about Passover entitled But This Night is Different

Below is a sheet with the Hebrew and English words to The Four Questions. Please review it with your child. Thank you and stay well.

?מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילוֹת

Why is this night different from all other nights?

1st Question:

.שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין חָמֵץ וּמַצָּה, הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה – כֻּלּוֹ מַצָּה

Shebchol haleilot anu okhlin hametz umatzah; halailah hazeh, kuloh matzah.

On all other nights we eat leavened products and matzah, and on this night only matzah.

2nd Question:

.שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין שְׁאָר יְרָקוֹת – הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה (כֻּלּוֹ) מָרוֹר

Shebchol haleilot anu okhlin sh’ar y’rakot; halailah hazeh, maror.

On all other nights we eat all vegetables, and on this night only bitter herbs.

3rd Question:

.שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אֵין אָנוּ מַטְבִּילִין אֲפִילוּ פַּעַם אֶחָת – הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה שְׁתֵּי פְעָמִים

Shebkhol haleilot ein anu matbilin afilu pa’am ehat; halailah hazeh, shtei f’amim.

On all other nights, we don’t dip our food even once, and on this night we dip twice.

4th Question:

.שֶׁבְּכָל הַלֵּילוֹת אָנוּ אוֹכְלִין בֵּין יוֹשְׁבִין וּבֵין מְסֻבִּין – הַלַּיְלָה הַזֶּה כֻּלָּנוּ מְסֻבִּין

Shebchol haleilot anu okhlin bein yoshvin uvein m’subin; halailah hazeh, kulanu m’subin.

On all other nights we eat sitting or reclining, and on this night we only recline.
