Our experience as slaves in Egypt and the Exodus are kept alive in Jewish memory as we tell the story anew each year.
This program offers a choice of activities that enable students to add to the telling of their personal story of freedom. Students engage in a race through the Torah to acquire some new information, imagine what it was like at the Sea and send a postcard about their experience, find the promises that relate to the traditional Four Cups of the Seder and create a new ritual or symbol to depict the fifth promise they locate in the text. They also analyze the portraits of the conventional Four Sons (children) in order to understand who they are and how we all might be each of them.
The concluding activity asks that students create a blueprint (on blueprint paper) to take their learning and experiences back to their Seder.
This program can be done as a ?round-robin', with students circulating among activities, or with the entire class doing your choice of activities simultaneously.
