Hi Boys and Girls! Welcome back to “History’s Heroes” where we learn about our favorite Jewish Heroes and craft, paint, or experiment, along the way!
Highlight: Nachshon Ben Aminadov
When the Yidden reached the Yamsuf and were unsure of what to do, Nachshon Ben Aminadav took the first step into the water, causing it to miraculously split. Fun fact: Nachshon (נחשון) was named for stepping first into the “Nachshol” (נחשול), which means the powerful waves of the Yamsuf. (The letters Lamed and Nun can be interchanged because both are pronounced with the tongue.)
Nachshon’s Mesiras Nefesh played a crucial role in the Yidden becoming a nation. The miracles of Krias Yam Suf were so extraordinary that the world had never witnessed anything like them before. We eagerly anticipate seeing similar miracles with the arrival of Moshiach. Today, we will explore the art of using mixed media to create texture and depth in a painting of Krias Yam Suf. We will use a special material called Plaster of Paris, along with specific brush strokes, to create the illusion of the sea foaming into two walls. Gather your supplies, watch in wonder, and follow along as we paint Krias Yam Suf.
Please join our contest, where we raffle off 2 Tickets to the Jewish Children’s Museum, when a completed project (picture or video) is sent to [email protected] . Hatzlacha J
