| DAIRY |
 |
| On Shavous, we eat dairy. The reason is because on the day of receiving the torah, we became Jewish. The laws of Kashrus state that meat must be slaughtered by a Jewish person. Since all their meat was slaughtered before they were Jewish (before they got the Torah) all of it was non-kosher. Being that the Torah was given on Shabbos, it was also fobidden to slaughter animals that day. Therefore the Jewish people ate dairy products on that first day. Another reason why we eat dairy foods on Shavous is becuase the Torah is compared to milk and honey. |
| Teach the kids where milk comes from. How we milk a cow. Take a plastic glove and put it under a picture of a cow. fill it with milk or colored water. poke a hole and let the kids have fun with 'milking the cow' |
| Make ice cream in your class without a freezer. Take a zip lock plastic bag and fill it with layers of ice and kosher salt (ice, salt, ice, salt ...) In a separate zip lock bag put 1 cup milk 1 egg 1tsp vanilla 1 small carton of non dairy whip tape it shut with duck tape, place it in the bag of salt and ice. tape that shut too. shake it (play with it. have the kids shake it, play ball..) for about ten minutes then take out and eat. It is real ice cream! variation: This can be done in a coffe can instead of a bag Makes enought for four children! |
