In lieu of an unconvincing apology or even a lame excuse for my prolonged blogging absence - and with your permission, of course - I think I’ll just jump right back in. Here goes:
A certain Shiputzim daughter had to make a diorama for her Navi class this week and decided to focus on the following psukim from Sefer Shmuel I:
“וַיַעֲשׂוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים כֵּן וַיִקְחוּ שְׁתֵּי פָרוֹת עָלוֹת וַיַאַסְרוּם בָּעֲגָלָה וְאֶת בְּנֵיהֶם כָּלוּ בַבָּיִת. וַיָשִׂמוּ אֶת אֲרוֹן ה’ אֶל הָעֲגָלָה וְאֵת הָאַרְגַז וְאֵת עַכְבְּרֵי הַזָהָב…”
“And the men did so, and they took two lactating cows and hitched them to the wagon; and they confined their calves in the house. And they placed the Ark of Hashem on the wagon, and the box and the golden mice…”
(Shmuel I 6:10-11)
As always, please feel free to click on the pictures for a much better view:
My favorite parts are the golden mice in the box and also the Kruvim on top of the Aron.
And yes, cows DO seem to appear in many projects here in TRLEOOB (=the real life equivalent of our blog). Why do you ask?
!שבת שלום ומבורך
Excellent! Great cows. Great presentation. Shabbat shalom! You deserve all the "boasting" - maybe instead use the word "kvell."
ReplyDeleteShavua tov! Thank you: "kvelling" is a much nicer word than "boasting!" :-)
DeleteWow. Fantastic detail. Nicely executed. Is the Aron an origami box? My favorite part: the cows.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the reason for choosing these psukim to illustrate?
Yes, it IS an origami box. Good catch!
DeleteI think she chose that specific pasuk because it seemed to lend itself to a fun project. (I had suggested that she do Tefilat Chana, but she said that everyone would probably choose that... :-) )
