Pictorial Parsha: Bereishis

What does the picture have to do with the Parsha?

Let’s face it. It isn’t always easy to engage people in the parsha, particularly when those sitting around the table include children of varying ages. A well-prepared, super-interesting dvar Torah or story help - especially the stories! - but, even then, attention can be at a premium.

Here is an innovative way that has been proven to be effective at getting people engaged: images that are connected to the parsha. At the Shabbos table the author displays them for all to see and asks one simple question: “What does this picture have to do with the parsha?” From young to old, children to adults, guests to family members, everyone finds the challenge irresistible.
