Avraham's Tent


This week Gan Daled learned about the mitzvah of Hachnasat Orchim from Parsha Lech Lecha. After we spoke of how Avraham welcomed his guests we had a chance to visit his tent. This interactive, hands on Parsha experience truly brought to life our forefather's love for this mitzvah. The children enjoyed dramatizing the story of Avraham and the three angels. As expected, Avraham and Sarah treated the Gan Daled visitors to a delicious snack.

We really got our hands wet as we continued re-enacting scenes from the Parsha. The children helped make a well and filled it with water. Just as Avraham used well water to wash his guests' feet, Gan Daled is using the well water to wash their hands for Hamotzei.
