The only Parsha Questions that have kids begging for more!
There are two things kids always look forward to on Shabbos: parsha questions and Shabbos cereal. The problem is, that a lot of kids have stopped looking forward to the parsha questions.
This is a high-class problem! Unfortunately, some kids come home with parsha questions that they would rather use as Havdalah-candle-drip-catchers than actually read!
A common cry heard today is, “Do we have to do parsha questions this week? We’d rather eat broccoli!”
(Now, we’re not saying that broccoli is all bad. You should definitely give your kids broccoli, if they need it for a science experiment or such, like Tofu.)
The good news is that about a year ago, that all changed for the 300+ families who signed up to www.torahpoems.com and began receiving the weekly Parsha Poem and Silly Parsha Questions. The goofy, sometimes hysterical, often genius, and always fun multiple-choice answers are a great way to keep your children interested and excited about the parsha.
Now, instead of claiming that their parsha questions were confiscated at the border, you might hear something like this: “Can we please do parsha questions, Abba?” “Sure, zeeskeit, but it’s 4am on Tuesday!! Can you wait?”
Colin Powell, who learned Yiddish while serving as a “Shabbos goy”, said before he died (obviously), “Nisht kinder lib alleh gut shabbos parsha questions oisgeshmekt!” (Okay, he didn’t learn Yiddish well…) Actually, we don’t know for certain that he said these things, but we also don’t know for certain that he didn’t.
So sign up for the weekly parsha pages, which now also include the weekly Mostly True Story, culled from conversations with folks who witnessed some wonderful stories, but don’t remember them!
Mr. Stevens is standing by.
HONEST CONFESSION-Even when we have a quiet Shabbos alone- we love reading your Parsha package- all three pages!!!
Extremely entertaining witty and quite responsibly informative too and then I know what Parsha to open to in Shul in the morning!!
Thank you Rabbi Friedman
