I liked the last connection, that's a good transition. And I see what you mean about the difference, Bereishis has more fun stories. Sefer Shemos will have more about laws. Very nice drawing by your son.

And I see what you mean about the difference, Bereishis has more fun stories. Sefer Shemos will have more about laws.

The first article in this newsletter - http://www.torahmitzion.org/pub/parsha/shmot.pdf - presents a similar idea. Basically, the article says that Breishit is a Book of individuals. Shmot, in contrast, is about the Jewish People as a nation. However, the two Books are connected, and Shmot is even considered to be the "second stage of Creation". Nice picture!

That's new to me. Ann, Raizy, Ilana-Davita, glad you like his pic. Wish I could find the original (I posted a newspaper scan). Mottel, thanks for the Chabad outlook on the parsha transitions.

During Shemos, things switch from a a Fall, early winter/Chanukah mode to the deep winter Yud Shvat (the day the Lubavitcher Rebbe took over the Chabad Leadership, and all the Yeshovos travel to New York) is coming mode.

There are certain stories in the Torah that really appeal to kids' imaginations, and the Exodus is usually one of their favorites. Yeah, I really like the pyramids too!
