Step Up -- Meeting #2!!

In continuation of our "Thread of Kindness" theme, we started our meeting off with watching a short movie/clip, and what goes perfectly with that?? Popcorn of course!!

We learned that even if you don't see it, every good thing you do, no matter how big or small, has an affect on the world that is bigger than you'll ever realize!

Our third meeting was a load of fun!

"It's not all Black & White"

We learned this from one of our foremothers, Rochel.

Rochel was betrothed to Yaakov. Knowing that her father was a sly man and might switch Rochel for her sister Leah, gave her signs so that he'll know if he was marrying the right sister. Lavan (Rochel's father) did indeed switch the two sisters and sent Leah to marry Yaakov. Rochel now had the choice to either give the signs away and in turn give away her chance to marry Yaakov, or keep the signs to herself and end up with the embarrassment of her sister.

She chose to give up her signs. We learn from her that sometimes choices are not always as simple as we would like them to be.

BMC Meeting #2!

Our second meeting was a smash success! 

We learned to stand up for what we believe in even though it may be hard. 
Yehudis , a Jewish heroine, taught us how. 

The story of Yehudis came to life as we acted out how she, against everyone else's warning, went to the Greek general and in an act of bravery killed him, saving the whole Jerusalem from hunger!  How did she do it? By getting the general so full and sleepy on cheese and wine! 

                                                             Cheese themed food! 
                                           

                                               To end off the meeting we had the hands 
                                            on experience of making our own grape juice!
