We have now finished about half of ספר במדבר פרק א. We Have:
- Read, translated and explained פסוקים א-ד.
- We have read translated and explained the first רשי as well. Please ask your child what Rashi's question and answer was, and how it relates to the image above!
We then finished all of the details of the process of how it was possible for Moshe, Aharon and the tweleve נשיאים to count all of Bnei Yisroel by themsleves.
We reviewed the laws of counting according to Jewish law, namely, that it is forbidden to count directly, and it is only permitted to count people indirectly.
Ask your child why it is forbidden to count people directly, and what lesson WE can all learn from this!
Homework for Tuesday, September 20th:
Please look inside at פסוקים ה-מו. Make a list of all of the twelve tribes on the sheet that I will give out in class, and write the final tally, of how many people were in each of the twelve tribes. Additionally, please write how many people TOTAL were counted.
The Handout may be downloaded here.
For those who need assistance, please feel free to use a Chumash with English at home, or use the translation found online from Chabad.org
