The TT Report: Volume 1 Issue 2

Well… um I guess we'll start with vacation. Vacation was really cool. I mean it! It really was! There is nothing better than total boredom and having nothing to do. Right?  

Ok fine, school is fun. Especially Sundays and Tuesdays :-). And it was great going back to see all my friends.  

Well, this past Sunday, we were awarded for our Aleph Champ levels and Discover status. In fact next time my family and I go on vacation, I'm gonna present my Discover Judaism card to see what I can get with it. Maybe a couple cokes, free internet in the hotel, who knows?! If they don't cooperate, I'll get Morah Chani on the phone, and that'll show them!  

So anyway, in class we're learning all about our Jewish souls, the ones that we can't see, hear, or feel but still seem to be pretty powerful! At least according to Morah Pessie! :-) In fact there are so many things that we are supposed to be doing to make our souls feel comfortable in this world. (what a great sell! We wouldn't want our souls to consider leaving would we?). But the cool thing is, that when we make our Neshama comfortable it is so powerful that everything it does has a ripple effect on the whole world! That means that every bracha we make or kind thing we do is felt in Abertimanistan! (I saw it on Google Earth)  

   

That's all for today, see you next month,

This Week's Parshah

Parshat Shemot
The Children of Israel multiply in Egypt. Threatened by their growing numbers, Pharaoh enslaves them and orders the Hebrew midwives, Shifrah and Puah, to kill all male babies at birth. When they do not comply, he commands his people to cast the Hebrew babies into the Nile.
A child is born to Jocheved, the daughter of Levi, and her husband, Amram, and placed in a basket on the river, while the baby's sister, Miriam, stands watch from afar. Pharaoh's daughter discovers the boy, raises him as her son, and names him Moses.
As a young man, Moses leaves the palace and discovers the hardship of his brethren. He sees an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and kills the Egyptian. The next day he sees two Jews fighting; when he admonishes them, they reveal his deed of the previous day, and Moses is forced to flee to Midian. There he rescues Jethro's daughters, marries one of them - Zipporah - and becomes a shepherd of his father-in-law's flocks.
G-d appears to Moses in a burning bush at the foot of Mount Sinai and instructs him to go to Pharaoh and demand: "Let My people go, so that they may serve Me." Moses' brother, Aaron, is appointed to serve as his spokesman. In Egypt, Moses and Aaron assemble the elders of Israel to tell them that the time of their redemption has come. The people believe; but Pharaoh refuses to let them go, and even intensifies the suffering of Israel.
Moses returns to G-d to protest: "Why have You done evil to this people?" G-d promises that the redemption is close at hand.
