Hope everyone had a nice Pesach and is now back in the swing of things.
The Pesach seder is the ultimate teaching and learning experience. The approach is to first arouse the children’s curiosity (why do we dip the vegetable into salt water? so that you’ll ask, of course), then make the experience personal (if G-d hadn’t redeemed us we would have still been slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt), and then tell the story of our birth as a nation (come and learn). When conducted properly the Pesach seder is an unforgettable lesson for any child.
As parents and teachers, we strive to create powerful learning experiences the rest of the year. May the Pesach inspiration stay with us and help us make Torah learning come alive for our children and students!
Coming soon: Torah through Literature Guide and Book List! G-d willing, it will be posted on the website, torahthroughliterature.com, later this week. Have a great week!
