Parashah Plays: For Children of All Ages

About this book

Parashah Plays is a new collection of 54 self-contained original plays each representing a single parashah of the Torah. The plays are primarily written for younger children (Grades K-6) but the humor and content can be enjoyed on a variety of levels by people of all ages. Each play is constructed with a unique dramatic format chosen to reflect the tone and message of that weekss parashah. The plays are each about 15 minutes in length and bring to life familiar characters from the Torah using contemporary language to play out their conflicts and dilemmas in colorful comedic fashion. Although the dialogue is contemporary with a focus on humor and fun the actual biblical events are depicted with attention to accuracy making Parashah Plays an excellent tool for educating entertaining and inspiring.
