Letter Yud

Our Mail Carrier Isabelle brought us the Letter Yud. Yud is a super easy letter, all you have to do is make one little line on top and one little line coming down. That's it!

When a little Yeled (boy) turns three years old it marks a big celebrations.

He is mature enough to understand what Hashem is and the importance of keeping different mitzvos.

Neat letter!

We noticed that Letter Tes looks like a teapot.

And so, we decided to enjoy some tea from a teapot while we were learning about Tes. Yum!

We also noticed when a Totty (Yiddish for Dad) wears a Tallis (which begins with Letter Tes) and davens, he also looks like Letter Tes. So cool!
