Shavuot Aims 1) To learn about Shavuot 2) To see Shavuot as the most modern of festivals 3) To understand that Judaism wants us to take responsibility of our actions and put effort in to our Judaism Volume 29 Issue 28 Barmidbar 5772 Bnei Akiva is proud to be supported by (Go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYJqkw7mW4M&list=UU5GN5eVPy1t315608T_QI3Q&index=1&feature=plcp BAUKchinuch channel) Shavuot is known as the time when we received the Torah but this cannot be found in the Torah In contrast to Pesach and Succot Shavuot is not given a specific date Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cordoza explains this is to teach that the Torah and giving of the Torah is not meant to be ‘remembered and relived’ but is happening every moment every day Does the learning of Torah really feel like this? Is it not just the learning of facts and about the Jews? Learning Torah has a direct impact on how we live our daily lives Mt. Sinai lost is Kedushah after the giving of the Torah, however Har Habayit retains it forever because it is something we worked on. This is true for the rest of our lives and especially learning Torah. The more we put in the more we get out The Midrash teaches that: “A simple handmaiden at the Sea (of Reeds) saw more than Yechezkel ben Buzi saw in his prophecy” Mechilta 15:2 Each person took something different from the giving of the Torah There was a lot of excitement the first Shavuot after the Six Day War: What does this scene remind you of? Do we feel the same sense of excitement about Jerusalem or Shavuot today? Hadracha Hot Tips Pair me: Give them pairs of pictures of festivals and their specific Mitzvot to match up (e.g. Pesach and Matzah / Sukkot and Lulav / Shofar and Rosh Hashana, etc.) and then explain how Shavuot is unique in that it has no specific Mitzvot because we re-receive the Torah ourselves each year. My 10: What would your chanichim put in the Ten Commandments? See if the core values they hold dear are different to what the Ten Commandments say is important Lego: Give two groups some Lego or other building materials. One group must build a model and the other group should appoint one person to build for them. Which groups has more fun? How important is it to play a part in the process? The Chocolate Game: As we said Shavuot lacks the ritual of all the other festivals so it was decided to make it the festival of milk to make up for it. As such we eat all types milky foods on Shavuot. (Ideally one should have a milk starter and then a proper meat meal.) Therefore the chocolate game is particularly fitting and a great way to celebrate Yom Tov. 2 Planning Your Peulah 1.
