Subject: Educational Resources for Shavuot
Hi Everyone!
Shavuot is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the giving
of the Torah, the first harvest, and the ripening of the
first fruits. The two day festival (1 day in Israel) begins
on Sunday night, June 8, 2008.
The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment
http://www.j.co.il
has several entertaining features to celebrate Shavuot:
Jewish Trivia Quiz: Shavuot
What are the five names of Shavuot ?
On what mountain did Moses receive the Ten Commandments ?
How many letters are there in the Torah ?
In the days of the Temple what did people do on Shavuot ?
Who married Ruth ?
Who was Ruth the great-grandmother of ?
What is the connection between the number 7 and Shavuot ?
The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.
Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.
Additional Shavuot resources and games on the J site include:
Free Shavuot Clipart
Hebrew Hangman Game
The Multilingual Word Search Game (English / Hebrew / Russian)
My Jewish Coloring Book (online / offline)
The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not
enough, I posted on my website 65 links about Shavuot,
from laws and customs to games and recipes.
Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish,
French, Portuguese and German.

Please forward this message to relatives and friends,
so they can also benefit from these holiday resources.
Have a good day,
Jacob
