All Those Projects

Hey parents! Here is a guide to that pile of masterpieces you took home this week from your budding artists.

All children brought home a matzah cover dyed and stamped with natural dye. This means food and spices were used to color these beauties! (You might even still smell the tumeric or coffee on them!) The stamps -which are images representing what we might see on a Seder plate- were drawn by Anafim children. Your child’s matzah cover also might say מצה (matzah) or פסח (Pesach).

 

ANAFIM

Anafim children brought home a Mudejar Stucco clay sculpture inspired by a 14th century Spanish Beit Knesset.

Anafim children also brought home a 3D constructed Beit Knesset and detailed floor plan from their imagination.

NITZANIM

SHORASHIM

IMG_7180As their Beit Knesset final project, Shorashimers brought home stained glass. They explored the sanctuary here at Rodfei Zedek which has its own wall of stained glass. Each shorashimer chose an object they found inside that stained glass to sketch and then recreate in their own project.
