Ki Tissa (Parah) . Middah/ Jewish Value Activity Early Years & Foundation Stage 0 - 5 Mention is made twice about the ritual washing of the Kohanim's hands and feet before doing any holy task - The importance of cleanliness Sing this song about the times when we wash our hands. Use lots of scrubbing action! Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It Oh, before I eat my meal I wash my hands, (scrub scrub) Oh, before I eat my meal I wash my hands, (scrub scrub) Oh, it's very right I think, sends those germs right down the sink, Oh, before I eat my meal I wash my hands, (scrub scrub) When I'm dirty after play... Oh, before I eat my snack... After playing with my pet... Key Stage 1 5 - 8 God was so angry with the Jewish people. He wanted to destroy them. Moshe pleaded for their lives - Standing up to defend other people What does to 'stand up' for someone mean? (Not the definition 'when someone comes into the room'.) What happens when we 'stand up' for others? Have you ever defended a sibling or a friend, when that person was thought to have done something wrong? What did you say in their defence? How did you feel when you spoke out? How did you feel afterwards? Does being a friend mean that you always defend each other? Key Stage 2 8 - 11 The people made a Golden Calf to worship and when Moshe saw it he smashed the two tablets. Even he, at that moment, was unable to control his temper - Learning to control your temper See Bibliography - General Tell the story of the parashah from The Jewish Children's Bible - Exodus, pages 47 - 48. Moshe had already been told by God about the Golden Calf, so it should not have been a surprise when he saw it, and made him so angry. Why is hearing about something different from actually seeing it? For example, is what we see on the TV news always true?
