Yannai brought his parents back in again to teach us Parsha. We learned that Parshat Bamidbar, the first parsha in the book of Bamidbar relates how the Jews lived and traveled in the desert. The mishkan was in the middle of the encampment and around it on all four sides - North, South, East and West were the Jewish people, everyone with his/her Shevet/tribe. Around the mishkan were the Levite/Leviim. They carried the Mishkan and its vessels. Moshe was also instructed in how to take a census.
Yannai's parents discussed with the children N, S, E, and W. They brought in magnets and explained how a compass's magnet is aligned with the earth. Everyone looked at a compass and saw it pointing northward. This reminded us all of how Avraham had doors on four sides, so guests could come from all directions.
The children were given an illustration to paint or color and then a magnet to glue on to help us remember what we learned.
Thank you Yannai, Yaarit and Shlomi!!
