הסכום - Summary

 

  • Joseph and his brothers had lived peacefully in Egypt.
  • When their generation died, a new Pharaoh arose and said: "The Israelites are too numerous. They have too much power in our kingdom!"
  • Pharaoh ordered all male Israelites to be killed at birth by drowning them in the Nile.
  • Amram and Jochebed had a baby son and they hid him in a basket at the edge of the Nile.
  • There he was found by Pharaoh's daughter, who called him Moses
  • When Moses grew up, he saw an Egyptian taskmaster beating an Israelite slave and he struck him down.
  • Moses is forced to flee to Midian.
  • There he tends to the flocks of Jethro. Later Jethro gave Moses his daughter, Zipporah, to be his wife.
  • G-d speaks to Moses out of a burning bush and tells him that he and his brother Aaron will liberate the Israelites from Egyptian slavery

NURSE'S NOTES
Attention parents!  Flu season is now in full swing and I want to just remind you to practice good hand washing techniques so your children will learn from your example.  Once again, the best way to stay healthy is to wash hands frequently.  Please read the following article from KidsHealth and share with your family.  As the side note states, 22 million school days were lost last year due to the common cold!

Why washing your hands is so important
