Parsha Drama - Bereishis/t

Now that the holidays are over, we can now get back into the swing of things with PARSHA DRAMA!!! Starting with the first parsha in the Torah, the BMA students had a blast this week, learning about Creation, Adam and Chava (Eve), the original snake, Kayin and Hevel, and the generations from Adam to Noach.



Here are some photos from one of the classrooms.

First there was darkness (the dark shirt), then God divided between the waters (blue shirt), and then the dry, grassy (presumably green-colored) land.

Here are our models of Adam and Eve - sideways - following the opinion that the first human was made with two faces, and that woman was created by splitting the original human in half, closing the flesh around the open wound from detachment surgery.

The snake entices Eve, who stands under the tree of knowledge. (There are differences of opinion as to what kind of fruit was on the tree. Some argue it was one of the seven species of fruit of the land of Israel. Others say it may have been an etrog...)

"Go on! EAT IT!"

Adam and Eve cover themselves when they realize they're not wearing clothing.

After the banishment from Gan (Garden of) Eden, a flaming sword was placed in front of the tree of life, so one would get a chance to come close to it.

Kayin and Hevel demonstrate their fighting moves

Kayin is given his punishment for having killed Hevel.

Stay tuned for future updates, as we hope to take more pictures in other classes and get many more children involved.
