Birkat Chaverim
For those of you looking for a very simple Yom Haatzmaut project for the younger set, I bring you the blue and white fingerprint flag. The depicted flag was made by my then three year old. It took two minutes to set up, he enjoyed the activity and was pleased to hang it up afterwards. We have other Yom Haatzmaut resources on the site, please do c ...
Hi,
I teach Judaism and Israel-related subjects online. I have been involved in the Irena Sendler project for the past year and teach about it in my online Hebrew school classes.
Sendler was a non-Jewish Polish woman who saved 2500 children from the Warsaw ghetto. One of the most amazing aspects of her story is the fact that her activities were almost forgotten, and would never have been publicized if not for a group of (non-Jewish) Kansas schoolgirls who heard a rumor about her activities and, as part of a school project, investigated. Their research led to a renewed interest in Sendler’s story and wide recognition including a website, a book and a performance.
I’d love to write a guest blogpost about the Irena Sendler project for Birkat Chaverim.

Remember the Purim cupcake wrappers? Just wanted to let you all know that they've been joined by a bunch of new wrapper designs. This time, these designs match with some of our bencher designs. That means they could be used in conjunction with a bencher order, or alone at a family celebration. Note the Kotel design is particularly useful for Yom Yerusha ...
It is quite common around here to wear blue and white for Yom Haatzmaut. My daughter would love to add these Israeli flags nail decorations to that custom. In case that isn't clear the flags are decorations, decals to put on the nails. If you are interested in decorating nails with actual nail polish. Midrash Manicures also has a tutorial about how ...

In honor of Yom Haatzmaut- a game for the younger set. Use die to roll various parts and take the opportunity to teach about the first prime minister of Israel. I purposely left it vague since you'll know more whether your child/ren should get a more comprehensive overview or just become familiar with name/face. To download game: Build Ben Gurion ...
This is a chalk project for Yom Haatzmaut. The connection being Hebrew letters, blue and white letters, as well as a useful activity when you are out in the park bbq-ing. We have found these to be useful when we go to the park with friends. How We Did It Here's an example of blue and white packaged chalk (Mem and Tet for Mazal Tov Medinat Yisrael ...
A memory game using whatever Israel themed stickers you have on hand
I have been meaning to post about this book for a long time but the Tenth of Tevet is appropriate due to the name of the book and the connection of the Prophet Jeremiah to the period of seige and destruction of Jerusalem. This book has a much happier subject. I found it at Shavua hasefer (book week) this past year and immediately bought two copies and showed it to my class (doll clothing) for inspiration. The book is called BiRechov Yirmiyahu or Jeremiah Street and is written by Libi Daon and illustrated by Lena Guberman.
