Parshah
Below you can choose to read something nice on the weekly parsha, or on any parsha you wish. Perhaps you want to read some kollel jokes or peruse some of the latest events that have been happening in connection with the kollel.
If you want to copy and print or link to anything here on the site, publish it in your own website, whatever; feel free. I would like that you link back to here and attribute stuff to us, that's all.
I hope you enjoy the parshah ideas - these were the Shabbos table talk in our home, and the ideas came from all present, young and old. These are only suggestions and discussion headings; add your own to them and send them back to us! Usually I will ask a question and the children respond. Sometimes I also have ideas on the subject. We hope that the issues raised will bring out thoughts of your own. Anyhow, enjoy them and respond to them!
Last but not least, you may wish to sign up to the mailing list here on the upper right. This way you can be sure to get something nice on the parsha each week, and be the first to hear of anything exciting!
I recommend you do so!Catagories
