The Torah up close
During center time the Torah was out for the children to explore. One child decided that the letters were to small to see and on his own, went to the Science Center to get a magnifying glass to solve the problem! This was a moment I will never forget for so many reasons:
The fact that the Torah was out for the children to explore
The fact that the children treated the Torah with tremendous respect
The connections that particular child made knowing that the magnifying glass makes things bigger (he is not yet 3!)
The reaction of the teacher - it was as if they were her own children
The collaboration between the children
This is why we send our children to Jewish Preschool!
