November Self Portraits

Have you seen the November self portraits in our cubby room? The children used legumes - beans, peas and lentils to create their masterpieces. We added rice for other options. Why legumes? Yaakov prepared a red lentil soup for Yitzchak after Avraham passed away. Eisav sold his first born birthright to Yaakov for the pot of soup. (Parshat Toldot). Notice the details that the children so carefully placed on their self portraits. Can you find the one with the green Kippah? How about not just an outline but a face made with rice. Do you see the black eyed peas used to make eyes? Do yellow peas depict blonde hair? November is coming to an end. Please come and admire.
