In שׁוֹרָשִׁים (Shorashim– ‘roots’ for nursery) and שְׁתִּילִים (Shteelim– ‘saplings’ for kindergarten), we are in our second week of our theme, נוֹשֵׂא בְעֹל עִם חֲבֵרוֹ (Nosei v’ol im chaveiro– Help a friend carry their burden, or, their heavy thing). This week children have been sharing stories about helping a friend with something hard, which is another way to, נוֹשֵׂא בְעֹל עִם חֲבֵרוֹ (Nosei v’ol im chaveiro– Help a friend carry their burden, or, their heavy thing).
We shared a story with a partner. Some children chose to share their stories with the whole group. After everyone had a chance to share, our yetzirah (art/creativity) educator picked a story for the children to paint and add to our wall, as a reminder of the kinds of stories that are about נוֹשֵׂא בְעֹל עִם חֲבֵרוֹ (Nosei v’ol im chaveiro– Help a friend carry their burden, or, their heavy thing).
The following are three stories about helping a friend with something hard:
Children came up with lots of different examples of hard things and ways of helping. How would you help a friend with a big feeling, a challenge that they are hoping to complete, or something they are learning how to do?
