Parsha Math: The Half Shekel!

UPDATE!  I’ve had enough of Google Docs and will be trying out 4shared.  I apologize in advance – I have a free account and that means you will have a slight delay before you get to download the actual files.  Meanwhile, click HERE (Gittel, I updated with the right link this time!) to download these sheets.

imageThis is an easy set of math sheets looking at what, exactly, a half-shekel is – and how many you need to make a WHOLE shekel.  Simple fractions – fun, wow!

On the first page, children circle the number of half-shekel coins each family would give.  The second page lets them figure out the equivalent in whole shekels. 

imageThe final page uses mentschies and coin manipulatives to demonstrate how the half-shekel was given and how much it was worth in WHOLE shekels.

I thought this would tie in nicely with some of the math we’ve been doing lately and tried to make it very, very simple so the parsha concept as well as the related math concept would become more concrete.

  • You can download this from my limudei kodesh (Jewish subject) printables page here (scroll down to Ki Sisa)

    Gittel and anyone else: I have TRIED updating the link on the other page, but I have also added "secret" links on this page. Clicking on the page image at the top OR the word "this" should let you download the PDF directly. I checked the settings in Google and everything is okay at this end.
    IF all else fails, try clicking here. :-)

    I tried all these, but it goes to the copywork and not the shekel page.

What do we tell our kids about Chabad and “Yechi”?

If I start by saying I really like Chabad, and adore the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, z"l, well... maybe you already know where I'm headed. Naomi Rivka has been asking lately what I think about Chabad.  She asks, in part, because she already knows how I feel.  She already knows I’m bothered, though to her, it’s mostly about “liking” and “not liking.”  I wish things were that simple. Our little neighbourhood in Israel has a significant Chabad presence, and Chabad conducts fairly significant outreach within the community.  Which sounds nice until you realize that this is a religious neighbourhood, closed on Shabbos, where some huge percentage of people are shomer mitzvos.  Sure, it’s mostly religious Zionist, and there are a range of observances, for sure, but we’re pretty much all religious here in some way or another. So at that point, this isn’t outreach but inreach .  Convincing people who are religious to be… what? A lot of Chabad’s efforts here are focused on kids, including a
