Ki Tavo . Middah/ Jewish Value Activity Early Years & Foundation Stage 0 - 5 The Bnei Yisrael are about to enter Eretz Yisrael, a beautiful land with mountains, rivers, delicious fruits and vegetables etc - Love for the Land of Israel Talk about the different types of scenery that we see in Israel. Have some pictures of natural features of Israel - mountains, rivers etc., and trees including date palms (see below) Also mentioned in this parashah is the mitzvah of Bikkurim - the bringing of the first fruits of the Shivat Haminim, the Seven Kinds, to the Bet Mikdash. Key Stage 1 5 - 8 The Bnei Yisrael are about to enter Eretz Yisrael, described in the parashah (Chapter 26 Verse 15) as 'Eretz Zavat Chalav U'dvash' - a land flowing with milk and honey. The mitzvah of Bikkurim is described, that is the bringing of the first fruits to the Bet Mikdash - Appreciating the Land of Israel and its produce Learn/Sing the song 'Eretz Zavat Chalav U'devash. Key Stage 2 8 - 11 In this parashah (26:12) God instructs the Jewish people to set aside one tenth of their produce for the needy. From this we understand that giving Tzedakah (charity) is not a choice but something the Torah commands us - Giving Tzedakah The giving of the 'tithe' or one tenth was not just for biblical times. Today we should give one tenth of our income. Tzedakah is not necessarily given as money. Think about recent natural disasters in the world such as the Tsunami in southeast Asia and the recent hurricane that affected parts of America. In which ways are we, in England, able to give tzedakah in these instances?
