Kashrut


 * Kashrut Unit**

Link to the Kashrut Unit shared doc: [|click here].

In this brief unit, we looked at texts for the origins of the laws of Kashrut and discussed the reasons for keeping kosher. The document above contains all of the information you will need in order to be able to complete the Kashrut children's book project to complete the unit.

Kashrut Children's Book Project
For this book, you must first choose an age range for your book: 1) Early childhood (ages 2/3) 2) Preschool/Kindergarten (ages 4-5) 3) Elementary School (Grades 1-3)

After you have chosen your age range, you must then choose the subject for your book. You are not required to include EVERYTHING from the texts that we studied in your book. Some possible options are: 1) What are the kosher and unkosher animals (land and/or water and/or sky)? 2) The laws of milk and meat 3) Why do Jews keep kosher? 4) Comprehensive children's book about all of Kashrut

Once you have chosen both your age range and your subject, you must choose a format for the writing of your book. While I showed you a format in iPhoto, because actually printing that book costs money, I do not recommend using iPhoto. However, the concept of a picture book may work for you. If you would like to create your book written and illustrated by hand, you may. If you would like to use your computer, feel free. The way that you create your book is up to you.

You have permission to create your book with a partner, but the expectations for the quality of the book and accuracy of the content will be higher since two sets of eyes and hands will be doing the work.
